Use the following procedure to set the virtualized external volumes in the primary and secondary storage systems as quorum disks. If you do not set a volume for the quorum disk, use the raidcom add quorum command to set the quorum disk. Do not specify the -ldev_id option. The same quorum disk ID must be set to the primary and secondary storage systems.

The serial number and model of the paired storage system is specified in the -quorum_enable option of the raidcom modify ldev command.

Note:

To specify serial numbers in CCI commands:

For VSP One Block 85, add "9" to the beginning of the serial number (6 digits in total). For example, enter 912345 to specify serial number 12345.
For VSP 5000 series, add "5" to the beginning of the serial number (6 digits in total). For example, enter 512345 to specify serial number 12345.

To specify storage system models in CCI commands:

For VSP One Block 85 storage systems, enter RH20ETP.
For VSP One Block 20 series models, enter M800.
For VSP 5000 series models, enter R900.
For VSP E series, VSP G130, G/F350, G/F370, G/F700, G/F900, VSP Gx00 models, or VSP Fx00 models, enter M800.

When viewing storage systems in CCI command output:

VSP One Block 85 models are displayed as RH20ETP in command output.
VSP One Block 20 series models are displayed as M8 in command output.
VSP 5000 series models are displayed as R9 in command output.
VSP E series, VSP G130, G/F350, G/F370, G/F700, G/F900, VSP Gx00 models, and VSP Fx00 models are displayed as M8 in command output.

Specify 0 to the quorum disk ID to set the volume (0x9999) in the primary storage system as a quorum disk. For the storage system to be paired with the primary storage system as a GAD pair, specify a storage system whose serial number is 822222 and model is VSP One B20 series.
Use the raidcom modify ldev or raidcom add quorum command. If you do not set a volume for the quorum disk, use the raidcom add quorum command.
```
raidcom modify ldev -ldev_id 0x9999 -quorum_enable 822222 M800 -quorum_id 0 -request_id auto -IH0
```

Confirm that asynchronous command processing has completed.

raidcom get command_status -IH0
HANDLE   SSB1    SSB2    ERR_CNT        Serial#     Description
00c3        -       -          0         811111     -

Specify 0 to the quorum disk ID to set the volume (0x8888) in the secondary storage system as a quorum disk. For the storage system to be paired with the secondary storage system as a GAD pair, specify a storage system whose serial number is 811111 and model is VSP One B20 series.
Use the raidcom modify ldev or raidcom add quorum command. If you do not set a volume for the quorum disk, use the raidcom add quorum command.
```
raidcom modify ldev -ldev_id 0x8888 -quorum_enable 811111 M800 -quorum_id 0 -request_id auto -IH1
```

Confirm that asynchronous command processing has completed.

raidcom get command_status -IH1
HANDLE   SSB1    SSB2    ERR_CNT        Serial#     Description
00c3        -       -          0         822222     -
