PSUE

Yes: The command executes the process and ends normally.

NOP: The command does not execute the process, but ends normally.

No: The command ends abnormally (that is, command rejected).

* If you issue the pairresync command to the pair whose status has changed to PSUE because
of the shortage of the shared memory for the V-VOL management area, the command will be
rejected and end abnormally.

When the command executes the process and ends normally, the pair status changes according
to the process. For information about how the pair status changes when the command ends normally,
see

“XP Snapshot Pair Status Transition” (page 15)

and the paragraphs under the figure.

The hide mode (-m noread) on the S-VOL is not supported. If you specify the hide mode on
the S-VOL and create a pair, the command will end normally, but the hide mode will be
ignored.

When the RAID Manager command ends abnormally (for example, when the RAID Manager
command is rejected), and if the OS of the host computer is HP-UX, SSB (sense byte), which
indicates the cause of the error, will be generated in the RAID Manager error log file. For
more information about the SSBs and the cause of the errors, see

“Troubleshooting When

Using XP RAID Manager” (page 103)

.
