Parameter

NA

Device number

DEVN

These parameters must be used for successful
execution of the command.

Primary volume: SSID, serial number, channel
connection address, and CU number.

PRIM

To request the Add and Split operation, set
MSF00 instead of a serial number. This
parameter is valid for MODE(COPY) or
MODE(NOCOPY) only.

To create pairs in a consistency group, set
MAnn0 instead of a serial number. nn is a CTG
ID.

NA

Secondary volume: SSID, serial number,
channel connection address, and CU number.

SEC

The storage system recognizes only COPY for the
MODE parameter, even if NOCOPY is specified.

Note: You cannot use the MSGREQ function when
the Add and Split operation is required. Specifying
YES for this parameter when the Add and Split
operation is required rejects the command and the
command ends abnormally by reporting CC = 8.

MSGREQ function is not applicable.

NO

Pair create operation is performed whether the
S-VOL is online or not.

ONLINSEC

1

Pair create operation is not performed if the S-VOL

1. When you do not specify the parameter, the result is the same as when you specify NO for this parameter.

2. If NOCOPY is specified for the MODE parameter and YES for the MSGREQ parameter, the CESTPAIR command
ends before the copy operation is completed.
