PPRCOPY QUERY–querying status

Use the PPRCOPY QUERY command to query the PPRCOPY and path status of a volume. Query can be issued to either a primary or secondary PPRCOPY volume. For 2105, 2107, and 1750, the LSS number will be displayed when it is available.

A host system that is attached only to a primary volume cannot obtain the status of the secondary volume for that pair. In the same way, a host that is attached only to the secondary volume cannot obtain the status of the primary volume.

For all outputs generated by the QUERY command with or without PATHS, the values indicated for the Primary and Secondary volumes refer to the primary or secondary volume in the PPRC relationship. So, for example, if volume 'A' is the primary volume and volume 'B' is the secondary volume in a PPRC relationship and we query the primary volume 'A' then the primary values in the output refer to volume 'A' and the secondary values refer to volume 'B'. Likewise, if we query volume 'B' in the same relationship, the primary values still refer to volume 'A' the primary volume of the relationship, and the secondary values refer to volume 'B' the secondary volume of the relationship.

If the queried device is simplex, a PPRC primary or queried as a PPRC primary (as is done for Cascaded volumes) then the WWNN for the secondary volume of the PPRC relationship will not be presented but those for paths defined from the device will be presented. It can be displayed for the secondary volume of the PPRC relationship as well as for any paths that are defined from the device. Currently, display of those values are mutually exclusive. That is to say, if the WWNN for the secondary volume of the PPRC relationship is present then those for any paths defined from the device will not be, and vice versa. The rules for the display of the WWNN value(s) are:
