Use request type PESTPATH to establish PPRC paths. This invokes
ANTRQST ILK=PPRC REQUEST=PESTPATH.
- DEVN(devn)
- Specifies the hexadecimal device number to be used for I/O. This
device number must identify a CKD device defined to the host system
making the request. It is required.
- PLSS(plss)
- Specifies the hexadecimal logical subsystem number (LSS) within
the primary storage subsystem. PLSS is required for storage subsystems
with logical subsystems and is invalid for 3990 and other 3990-compatible
storage controls.
- PSERIAL(pserial)
- Specifies the EBCDIC serial number of the primary storage control.
It is required. Specifying this parameter indicates that PPRC LINKs
between the subsystems use ESCON communication
protocols. PSERIAL requires SSERIAL and is mutually exclusive with
PWWNN.
- PWWNN(pwwnn)
- Specifies the hexadecimal world wide node name (WWNN) of the primary
storage control. It is required. Specifying this parameter indicates
that PPRC LINKs between the subsystems use Fibre Channel Protocol
(FCP) communication protocols. PWWNN requires the SWWNN parameter
and is mutually exclusive with PSERIAL
- PSSID(pssid)
- Specifies the hexadecimal subsystem identifier (SSID) of the primary
storage control. It is required.
- SLSS(slss)
- Specifies the hexadecimal logical subsystem number (LSS) within
the secondary storage subsystem. SLSS is required for storage subsystems
with logical subsystems and is invalid for 3990 and other 3990-compatible
storage controls.
- SSERIAL(sserial)
- Specifies the EBCDIC serial number of the secondary storage control.
It is required. Specifying this parameter indicates that PPRC LINKs
between the subsystems use ESCON communication
protocols. SSERIAL requires the PSERIAL parameter and is mutually
exclusive with SWWNN
- SWWNN(swwnn)
- Specifies the hexadecimal world wide node name (WWNN) of the secondary
storage control. It is required. Specifying this parameter indicates
that PPRC LINKs between the subsystems use Fibre Channel Protocol
(FCP) communication protocols. SWWNN requires the PWWNN parameter
and is mutually exclusive with SSERIAL.
- SSSID(sssid)
- Specifies the hexadecimal subsystem identifier (SSID) of the secondary
storage control. It is required.
- LINKS(link1,link2,link3...)
- Specifies the hexadecimal path address from the application site
storage control to the recovery site storage control. You can specify
up to 4 hexadecimal path addresses, separated by commas, with each
LINKS keyword, and you can specify LINKS multiple times. For example,
you could specify the following for up to 8 path addresses per PESTPATH
command:
LINKS(11111111,22222222,33333333)
LINKS(44444444,55555555,66666666)
LINKS is mutually exclusive
with LINK1. LINKS or LINK1 are required.
- LINK1(link1)
- Specifies the hexadecimal path address from the application site
storage control to the recovery site storage control. LINK1 is mutually
exclusive with LINKS. You must specify either LINKS or LINK1.
- LINK2(link2)
- Specifies the hexadecimal path address from the application site
storage control to the recovery site storage control. LINK2 requires
the LINK1 parameter.
- LINK3(link3)
- Specifies the hexadecimal path address from the application site
storage control to the recovery site storage control. LINK3 requires
the LINK2 parameter.
- LINK4(link4)
- Specifies the hexadecimal path address from the application site
storage control to the recovery site storage control. LINK4 requires
the LINK3 parameter.
- CGROUP(NO | YES)
- Indicates a logical control unit subsystem should emulate 3990
Critical Volume mode for CGROUP automation.
- NO
- 3990 Critical Volume mode should not be emulated. This is the
default.
- YES
- 3990 Critical Volume mode should be emulated, permitting CGROUP
automation processing of PPRC pair errors
- RESETHP(NO | YES)
- Specifies whether to reset host path connections to the primary
subsystem before attempting to establish paths.
- NO
- Host path connections to the primary subsystem will not be reset.
The request will return an error indicating some or all paths failed.
This is the default
- YES
- Host paths to the primary subsystem on the specified link addresses
should be reset to permit the request to use the link addresses for
connections to the secondary subsystem.
- OPENDVCS(NO |
YES)
- Indicates if the request is for Open System (fixed block) devices.
- NO
- The device specified with DEVN, as well as the primary and secondary
devices, are CKD devices. This is the default.
- YES
- The values supplied for the primary and secondary devices (SSID,
Serial, LSS and LUN) apply to Open Systems devices and not to the
CKD DEVN device. The DEVN parameter identifies a CKD device used for
receiving the request.
- WAITTIME(waittime | 0)
- Specifies the number of seconds that SDM must wait for a request
to complete. A value of zero specifies that the request should not
be timed. Valid values are 0 through 65535.
The default is 0.
- SUBCHSET(subchset | 0)
- Specifies the subchannel set in which the command is to be issued.
The subchannel set where the I/O will be issued is the subchannel
set as defined in the Hardware Configuration Dialog (HCD). The valid
values are determined by what is supported by the host system's processor
and configured for the device.
If you omit the parameter, the command
is issued to the device that is logically in subchannel set 0. If
a swap has occurred, this could be the device that was defined in
an alternate subchannel set in the I/O configuration (IODF), with
HCD.
