Permission command

To allow initial access to a protected volume, the Permission command
must be executed. This command is the –find inst option of raidscan; see
“raidscan”

(page 206)

. It is executed by /etc/horcmgr automatically upon

RM startup. With security enabled, RM permits operations on a volume
only after the Permission command is executed. Operations target volumes
listed in the horcm.conf file.

The command compares volumes in the horcm.conf file to all host
viewable volumes. Results are noted within RM in an internal table of
protected and permitted volumes based on the horcm.conf file and the
results of the Inquiry command. The Inquiry result is based on the LUN
security for that host; you must configure LUN security before beginning
RM operation.

Attempts to control protected volumes are rejected with the error code
EX_ENPERM.
