mksession

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID

(Optional). Specifies the storage image ID, which includes manufacturer, type, and serial number. This parameter is required if you do not specify a fully qualified ID for the logical subsystem.

Example: IBM.1750-68FA120

-lss ID

(Required). Creates a Global Mirror session for this logical subsystem. Accepts a fully qualified LSS ID, which includes the storage image ID, or a shortened version without the storage image ID if the -dev parameter is specified. The LSS ID is a hexadecimal number in the range of 00 - 1F (1750 only).

Example of a fully qualified LSS ID: IBM.1750-68FA120/10

-volume volume_ID . . .

(Optional). Specifies an array of one or more volume IDs or a range of volume IDs to be included in the Global Mirror session. All volumes must share a common logical subsystem.

To specify a range of volume IDs, you must separate the volume IDs with a hyphen. To specify a combination of one or more volume IDs and a range of volume IDs, separate the volume IDs and ranges with commas.

Do not qualify the volume ID with the storage image ID. The volume ID is a 32 bit number that can be represented as 4 hexadecimal digits in the form of XYZZ where X is the address group (0 - 1), XY together is the logical subsystem number 00 - 1E (for 1750), and ZZ is the volume number (00 - FF).

Example of a volume ID: 0010

Example of a range of volume IDs: 0010-001F

Example of multiple volume IDs and ranges: 0100-010F,0180-018F,0120

Session_ID | -

(Required). Specifies the session ID for which Global Mirror processing is allowed. A session ID is a hexadecimal number in the range 01 - FF.

If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.

Example of a session ID: 01
