(2) HORCM_CMD

When using the in-band method, this command parameter (HORCM_CMD) defines the UNIX
device path or Windows physical device number and specifies a command device that can access
the RAID Manager.

In-band method

The command device must be mapped to the SCSI/fibre using LUN Manager. You can define
more than one command device to provide failover in case the original command device becomes
unavailable (see

(page 17)

). The mapped command devices can be identified by the "-CM" of

product ID field of the inqraid command.

# ls /dev/rdsk/c1t0* | /HORCM/usr/bin/inqraid -CLI -sort
DEVICE_FILE PORT SERIAL LDEV CTG H/M/12 SSID R:Group PRODUCT_ID

c1t0d0s2 CL2-E 63502 576 - - - - OPEN-V-CM

c1t0d1s2 CL2-E 63502 577 - s/s/ss 0006 1:02-01 OPEN-V -SUN

c1t0d2s2 CL2-E 63502 578 - s/s/ss 0006 1:02-01 OPEN-V -SUN

The command device of UNIX host (Solaris) is described in the following.

/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2

The command device of Windows host is described as follows.

\\.\PhysicalDrive2 or \\.\CMD-63502

After the process of command device mapping, set HORCM_CMD of the configuration definition
file as follows.

\\.\CMD-<Serial Number>:<Device special file name>

<Serial Number>: Sets the serial number.

<Device special file name>: Sets the device special file name of a command device.

Example

When the serial number, 64015 and device special file name, /dev/rdsk/*is specified:

HORCM_CMD
#dev_name dev_name dev_name
\\.\CMD-64015:/dev/rdsk/*

Out-of-band method

When executing commands using the out-of-band method, create a virtual command device. To
create a virtual command device, specify as the following to HORCM_CMD of the configuration
definition file.

\\.\IPCMD-<SVP IP address>-<UDP communication port number>[-Unit ID]

<SVP IP address>: Sets an IP address of SVP.

<UDP communication port number>: Sets the UDP communication port number. This value is
fixed (31001).

[-Unit ID]: Sets the unit ID of the storage system for the multiple units connection configuration.
This can be omitted.

Example:

The following expresses the case of IPv4.

HORCM_CMD#dev_name dev_name dev_name
\\.\IPCMD-158.214.135.113-31001

The following expresses the case of IPv6.

HORCM_CMD#dev_name dev_name dev_name
\\.\IPCMD-fe80::209:6bff:febe:3c17-31001
