4.21.1 Specifying the SLPR Protection Facility

When you want to access certain SLPRs on a single Host, use the CCI protection facility so
that the Host can access multiple SLPRs through a single command device. The following
outline reviews the setup tasks for the SLPR protection facility.

1. Setting SLPR on the command device: The command device has a SLPR number and an

associated bitmap so you can set multiple SLPRs. You accomplish this by sharing a
command device (using ports connected to different SLPRs) by setting the command
device through SLPR#0 (called Storage Administrator) on the Web console or SVP.

For example, if the command device will be shared with the port on SLPR#1 and SLPR#2,
then the command device will automatically set the bitmap corresponding to SLPR#1 and
SLPR#2.

2. Testing SLPR: CCI verifies whether or not the command device can access a target

within SLPR. So, if the command device belongs to SLPR#0, or CCI has no SLPR function,
then the SLPR protection is ignored.

However, if the command device will be shared with the port on SLPR#1 and SLPR#2, CCI
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), CCI

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.
