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 106)

.

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.
