system using the raidcom reset command_status command. You can check the information in SSB1
and SSB2 by using the raidcom get error_message command.

In a part of asynchronous command processing, the multiple commands received by the host are
executed at a time. Therefore, the total number of errors may not correspond with the number of
unexecuted commands. If the error occurred in asynchronous commands, verify the system
configuration by the reference commands. For details about the reference commands, see

“Available

provisioning operations” (page 108)

.

When executing an asynchronous command, execute a command or a script with the following
procedures.
1.

Execute a raidcom reset command_status command.

Resets the error information of asynchronous command in the storage system.

2.

Execute an asynchronous command.

Executes the asynchronous command.

3.

Execute a raidcom get command_status command.

Checks if all the asynchronous command processing are done or if no error is occurred.

Asynchronous commands

The asynchronous commands associated with the configuration setting command provide
provisioning functions. The table lists the functions performed by asynchronous commands and
describes the required syntax.
