Supplied parameters are:
lu_name
LU name of the local LU. This name is a
lu_alias
LU alias of the local LU. This parameter 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).
plu_alias
Partner LU alias. This parameter should be the alias of an LU on a remote node; using aping with a partner LU on the local node is not recommended.
To indicate that the LU is identified by its fully qualified name instead of its alias, do not specify this parameter, but specify the LU name in the fqplu_name parameter.
mode_name
Name of the mode used by the LU pair. This name is a
tp_name
Name of the invoked TP. This parameter is generally set to “APINGD.”
security
Specifies whether conversation security information is required to start the TP. Possible values are:
NONE
No security information is required.
SAME
Security information can be verified by the TP that invoked this TP on behalf of a third TP.
PGM
A password and user ID are required to start the TP. The password is sent unencrypted if password substitution is not supported on the session. If password substitution is supported on the session, the password is sent encrypted.
PGM_STRONG
A password and user ID are required to start the TP, but the password must not be sent in clear text. If password substitution is not supported on the session, the aping fails. Otherwise, the password is sent encrypted.
pwd
Password required to access the partner TP. This parameter is required only if the security parameter is set to PGM or PGM_STRONG. This password is a
user_id
45
