Description

Item

At the transaction mode, these checks are performed when these are evaluated as
normal before executing script files. Also, the progress of the check and execution are
displayed in the console.

Executes the command checking only (processing is not executed even if no problem
found on the checking result). This is available to specify in both line-by-line mode
and transaction mode (see

“Command execution modes” (page 10)

).

Precheck function

Makes both replication/provisioning CLIs executable with out-of-band method (see

“Command execution by the out-of-band method” (page 11)

).

CLI command in out-of-band

Supports the user authentication function in conjunction with the Remote Web
Console/SVP. Once user authentication is enabled, a command can be executed in
accordance with the authentication controlled by the Remote Web Console/SVP.

User authentication

User authentication is required in the following cases.

When executing replication or provisioning operation with out-of-band method.

When executing provisioning operation with in-band method .

However, user authentication is an option when executing just a replication series
operation with in-band method.

Supports the function to provide a nickname to an LDEV.

LDEV nickname function

Puts the multiple LDEVs together so that it can be defined as one device group or one
copy group. By using one defined group, the multiple LDEVs can be operated all
together.

LDEV grouping function

Each user can use resources effectively by grouping resources in the storage system
(LDEV, port, host groups, and pools).

Resource group function

Supports the user locking of the resource (LDEV, ports, and so on) for users between
RAID Manager and SVP or between RAID Manager and another RAID Manager.

Resource group locking

Provisioning function

By executing a configuration setting command (raidcom command) from RAID Manager, the
provisioning function such as setting commands or creating LDEVs can be done. For the information
about the configuration setting command (raidcom command), see

“Overview of the configuration

setting command” (page 89)

.

Asynchronous command processing

Within the configuration setting commands (raidcom commands), using asynchronous commands
is a method of command processing applied to a command that takes much time in processing on
the storage system. Once this processing method of command is issued, an additional command
can be executed without having to wait for the command completion that executed just before. It
is also possible to monitor the completion status by using a status reference command.
