HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Job Command Reference (T3680-96090, October 2012)

Continue
A continue action or command resumes execution of a job instance that is paused, or waiting. See
Job status and states.
• You can use a GUI action or CLUI command. See Continuing jobs.
• When used for a waiting job instance, the wait is ended and execution continues at the next
step.
• When used for a paused job instance, execution typically continues at the next step.
However, if the job instance was paused on an interrupt-enabled wait command, the wait
condition is checked before continuing. If the wait condition has been detected, then the next
step is executed. Otherwise, the job instance waits for the condition to be detected before
starting the next step.
For example, if a job command specifies a 10-minute wait and the continue occurs after 20
minutes, the next step would be immediately executed. If the continue occurs after 5 minutes,
the job instance would wait 5 minutes before starting the next step.
Resource names and UNC formats
Resources in a SAN are identified in several ways, including UNC format. UNC (Universal or
Uniform Naming Convention) identifies a resource in terms of its hierarchical location in a network.
See the following for name and UNC formats: DR groups, Enabled hosts, Host volumes, Storage
systems, and Virtual disks (storage volumes).
Resource names in job commands
When you initially enter a command in a job, the command's resource arguments are displayed
as %variable% names, for example:
CreateDiskDevice ( %storvol_unc_name%, %host_name%, 0, READ_WRITE)
When selecting a specific resource from an Editing Task menu, the resource names are presented
in a UNC format, or other format, as appropriate for the resource. If you enter a resource name
from the keyboard, you must use the appropriate format.
IMPORTANT: UNC names in job commands are case sensitive.
After selection or entry of arguments, the command is displayed with resource names in quotes,
for example:
CreateDiskDevice ( "\\ArrayA2\Cats", "HostA6", 12, READ_WRITE )
Name formats and examples for resource types follow.
DR groups
ExampleName format (UNC)
\\ArrayA2\DrGrpPets
Identifies the DR group named DrGrpPets on the storage array named
ArrayA2
\\array name\path\DR group name
