value. The default Continuous Access link timeout value is 5 minutes (300 seconds). A suggested value for HORCTIMEOUT is 360 seconds.

During package startup, the default startup timeout value of the package is set to NO_TIMEOUT in the package ASCII file. However, if there is a need to set a startup timeout value, then the package startup timeout value must be greater than the HORCTIMEOUT value, which is greater than the Continuous Access link timeout value:

 

Pkg Startup Timeout > HORCTIMEOUT >

 

Continuous Access link timeout value

 

For Continuous Access Journal mode package, journal

 

volumes in PVOL may contain a significant amount of journal

 

data to be transferred to SVOL. Also, the package startup

 

time may increase significantly when the package fails over

 

and waits for all of the journal data to be flushed. The

 

HORCTIMEOUT should be set long enough to accommodate

 

the outstanding data transfer from PVOL to SVOL.

MULTIPLE_PVOL_OR_SVOL_FRAME_FOR_PKG

(Default = 0)

 

This parameter must be set to 1 if a PVOL or an SVOL for

 

this package resides on more than P9000 or XP frames.

 

Currently, only a value of 0 is supported for this parameter.

 

 

 

NOTE: Future releases may allow a value of 1.

 

 

 

Values:

 

0—(Default) Single frame.

 

1—Multiple frames. If this parameter is set to 1, then the

 

device group must be created with the “data” fence level,

 

and the FENCE parameter must be set to “data” in this

 

script.

PKGDIR

If the package is a legacy package, then this variable

 

contains the full path name of the package directory. If the

 

package is a modular package, then this variable contains

 

the full path name of the directory where the Metrocluster

 

xpca environment file is located.

WAITTIME

Seconds to wait for each “pairevtwait” interval. (Note: do

 

not set this to less then 300 seconds because the disks have

 

some long final processing when the copy state reaches

 

100%).

The following table describes AUTO_* variables settings and the package’s startup behavior that are supported with Metrocluster with Continuous Access XP version A.05.00 or later on HP-UX 11.0 and 11i or later systems.
