You cannot set or reset the reserve attribute by using the PPRC commands. To set or reset the
reserve attribute, use the Remote Web Console computer.

The ShadowImage for Mainframe suspend operations cannot be requested using the PPRC
commands. The CSUSPEND/PPRCOPY SUSPEND commands execute split operations on
ShadowImage for Mainframe pairs. Use the Remote Web Console computer to suspend SIz
pairs.

If you issue the ESTPAIR or the SUSPEND command to a Pending volume, the command will
abnormally end by reporting CC = 12.

CRECOVER command is not supported by ShadowImage for Mainframe. When you try to
execute the CRECOVER command on the SIz S-VOL, the command ends normally and the SIz
pair will be deleted. If you execute the command on the SIz T-VOL, the command will be
rejected and end abnormally by reporting CC = 8.

CGROUP command is not used for ShadowImage for Mainframe. For information on the
CGROUP command, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Continuous Access
Software User's Guide
.

PPRCOPY RECOVER command is not supported by ShadowImage for Mainframe. When you
try to execute the PPRCOPY RECOVER command on the SIz S-VOL, the command ends normally
and the SIz pair will be deleted. If you execute the command on the SIz T-VOL, the command
will be rejected and end abnormally by reporting CC = 8.

PPRC Command Requirements

To perform the PPRC commands on SIz pairs, all of the following conditions must be met. Since
both ShadowImage for Mainframe and TrueCopy for Mainframe support the PPRC commands, if
any of these conditions is not met, the PPRC command will be executed by TrueCopy for Mainframe
against TCz pairs.

The ShadowImage for Mainframe feature and software must be installed and enabled on the
XP storage system.

The serial numbers of the S-VOL and the T-VOL must be defined according to either of the
following:

Enter the same serial number for both S-VOL and T-VOL.

Enter an additional parameter instead of the serial number for the S-VOL, and enter the
serial number for the T-VOL.

PSF and DEVSERV Commands

The perform storage system function (PSF) commands key the XP storage system to accept commands
and requests from the user.
