Parameter Value 

Options 

-h:

 

Displays Help/Usage and version information.  

-q:

 

Terminates the interactive mode and exits the pair volume check command.  

-z or -zx (OpenVMS cannot use the -zx option): Makes the pairvolchk command enter the interactive mode. 

The -zx option guards performing of the HORCM in the interactive mode. When this option detects a 

HORCM shut down, interactive mode terminates. 
-I[H][M][instance#] or -I[TC][SI][instance#] Specifies the command as [HORC]/[HOMRCF], and used for 

specifying instance# of HORCM. 
-g <group>:

 

Specifies the group name defined in the configuration definition file. This option must always 

be specified. The command is executed for the specified group unless the -d <pair Vol> option is specified.  
-d <pair Vol>:

 

Specifies the paired logical volume name defined in the configuration definition file. When 

this option is specified, the command is executed for the specified paired logical volumes. 
-d[g] <raw_device> [MU#]:

 

Searches a group on the configuration definition file (local instance) for the 

specified raw_device, and if the specified raw_device is contained in the group, the target volume is 

executed as the paired logical volume (-d) or group (-dg). This option is effective without specification of “-g 

<group>“ option. If the specified the raw_device is contained in two or more groups, the command is 

executed on the first group. 
-d[g] <seq#> <LDEV#> [MU#]:

 

Searches a group on the configuration definition file (local instance) for the 

specified LDEV. If specified LDEV is contained in the group, the target volume is executed as the paired 

logical volume (-d) or group (-dg). This option is effective without specification of “-g <group>“ option. If the 

specified LDEV is contained in two or more groups, the command is executed on the first group. The <seq 

#> <LDEV #> values can be specified in hexadecimal (by addition of “0x “) or decimal notation. 
-c:

 

Checks the conformability of the paired volumes of the local and remote hosts and reports the volume 

attribute of the remote host. If this option is not specified, the volume attribute of the local host is reported. 
-ss:

 

Used to acquire the attribute of a volume and the pair status of a volume. If this option is not specified, 

the volume attribute is reported. 
-nomsg:

 

Suppresses messages to be displayed when this command is executed. It is used to execute a 

command from a user program. This option must be specified at the beginning of a command argument. 

The command execution log is not affected by this option. 
-FHORC [MU#] or -FCA [MU#]:

 

Forcibly specifies a cascading TrueCopy volume for specified pair logical 

volumes on ShadowImage environment (see example in Figure 4.18). If no -c option is specified, this option 

acquires the attributes of a cascading TrueCopy volume on a local host (near site). If the -c option is 

specified, this option acquires the attributes of a cascading TrueCopy volume on a remote host (far site). 
-FMRCF [MU#] or -FBC [MU#]:

 

Forcibly specifies a cascading ShadowImage volume for specified pair 

logical volumes on TrueCopy environment (see example in Figure 4.19). If no -c option is specified, 

acquires the attributes of a cascading ShadowImage volume on a local host (near site). If the -c option is 

specified, acquires the attributes of a cascading ShadowImage volume on a remote host (far site). 
-MINAP: Shows the minimum active paths on specified group in HORC/HORCAsync on PVOL. 
Note: If RAID F/W will not be supporting the number of active path, then “MINAP” item will not be displayed 

as follows. 

pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR fence = ASYNC CTGID = 2] 

Display example for ShadowImage/Snapshot: 

# pairvolchk -g oradb  
pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR ]

 

Display example for ShadowImage (specified with “-m grp” option): 

# pairvolchk -g oradb  
pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR CTGID = 1]

 

Display example for TrueCopy: 

# pairvolchk -g oradb  
pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR fence = DATA  

MINAP = 2

 ] 

Display example for TrueCopy Sync CTG:  

# pairvolchk -g oradb  
pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR fence = DATA 

CTGID = 2 MINAP 

= 2

 ]

 

Display example for TrueCopy Async:  

# pairvolchk -g oradb  
pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR fence = ASYNC 

CTGID = 2 MINAP 

= 2

 ]

 

MINAP displays the following two conditions (status) according to the pair status: 
PVOL: This shows the minimum in Active Paths on specified group in TrueCopy/TrueCopy Async
