SLPR configuration examples
Single host
Figure 70 (page 186) provides an example of when control is denied to the paircreate and
raidscan commands in the following cases:
•
The volume described on RMINST1 is different from the SLPR of the command device, so the
paircreate
command cannot control the paired volume.
•
The specified port is different from the SLPR of the command device, so the raidscan -p
CL3-A
command cannot scan any ports that are defined as SLPR#N.
Figure 70 SLPR configuration on a single host
To operate SLPR#N, assign the command device. If RMINST1 has a command device for SLPR#N,
the paircreate command is permitted. However, the raidscan -p CL3-A command (via
RMINST0) is unable to scan a port, because the specified port is different than the SLPR of the
command device. In this case, -p CL3-A must be operated via RMINST1, as shown in the following
example.
Figure 71 Operation across SLPRs using two command devices on a single host
To operate SLPR#N, share the command device. If RMINST1 has a shared command device for
SLPR#N, the paircreate command is permitted. Additionally, the raidscan -p CL3-A
command (via RMINST0), is permitted to scan a port, because the shared command device has
the Bitmap settings SLPR#M and SLPR#N.
