2.

Testing SLPR: RAID Manager verifies whether or not the command device can access a target
within SLPR. So, if the command device belongs to SLPR#0, or RAID Manager has no SLPR
function, then the SLPR protection is ignored.

However, if the command device is shared with the port on SLPR#1 and SLPR#2, RAID Manager
allows you to operate the volume on SLPR#1 and SLPR#2.

3.

Rejecting commands: If access is denied on the specified port (or target volume), RAID Manager
rejects the following commands and outputs an error code, EX_ESPERM:

•

horctakeover

, paircurchk, paircreate, pairsplit, pairresync,

pairvolchk

, pairevtwait, pairsyncwait

•

raidscan

(except -find verify, -find inst), raidar, pairdisplay

•

raidvchkset

, raidvchkscan (except -v jnl), raidvchkdsp

[EX_ESPERM] Permission denied with the SLPR
[Cause ] : A specified command device does not have a permission to access other SLPR.
[Action] : Please make the SLPR so that the target port and the command device belongs to the same
SLPR.

SLPR configuration examples

Single host

SLPR configuration on a single host (page 196)

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 68 SLPR configuration on a single host

To operate SLPR#N, assign the command device. If RMINST1 has been assigned to 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.
