Check volume attribute

Description

The pairvolchk command reports the attributes of a volume from the
perspective of the local or remote host. This command can be applied to
each paired logical volume or each group.

This is the most important command used by high availability (HA)
failover software to determine when a failover or failback is appropriate.

The table under the heading “HA control script state transitions” on

page 330

lists state transitions resulting from the execution of pairvolchk

in HA control scripts.
