2.38 define_lu_lu_password

The define_lu_lu_password command provides a password for session-level security verification between a local LU and a partner LU.

2.38.1 Supplied Parameters

Parameter name	Type	Length	Default
[define_lu_lu_password]
lu_name	character	8	(null string)
lu_alias	character	8	(null string)
fqplu_name	character	17
description	character	31	(null string)
password	hex array	8
verification_protocol	constant		EITHER

Supplied parameters are:

lu_name

LU name of the local LU. This name is a type-A character string. To indicate that the LU is defined by its LU alias instead of its LU name, do not specify this parameter.

lu_alias

LU alias of the local LU. This alias is a character string using any locally displayable characters. It is used only if lu_name is not specified.

If lu_name and lu_alias are not specified, the command is forwarded to the LU associated with the CP (the default LU).

fqplu_name

Fully qualified name of the partner LU. Specify 3–17 type-A characters that consist of a 1–8 character net- work name, followed by a period, followed by a 1–8 character partner LU name.

description

A text string describing the password. SNAplus2 uses this string for information only. It is stored in the node’s configuration file and returned on the query_lu_lu_password command.

password

Password. The password is an 8-byte hexadecimal string, which must not be set to all blanks or all zeros. The string must match the equivalent parameter configured for the partner LU on the remote system; however, the least significant bit of each byte is not used in session-level security verification and does not need to match.

When you type in this parameter on the command line, the value you type in is immediately replaced by the encrypted version of the password. Therefore, the value you supply for the password parameter is never displayed on the command line.

verification_protocol

Requested LU-LU verification protocol to use. Possible values are:

BASIC

Use basic LU-LU verification protocols.

ENHANCED

Use enhanced LU-LU verification protocols.
