XP1024 Continue Access reverse copy fail

Hi,

We had 2 XP1024 configured with Continue Access(CA). Yesterday we performed a CA reverse copy but failed with below error messages,

---------------------------------------------
brdb-p02:/HORCM/log0/curlog/horcmlog_brdb-p02#pairresync -g c16nb

Who can provide some hint or who knows where I can find the manual for CA? Thanks.

It looks like the command device of one of your XPs cannot be reached from the RAID Manager instances.

I would definitely log a call at HP support!

You will find the manuals in question here:
CA XP:

Raid Manager:

The "command rejected" error is a catch-all error from the XP. I've seen it most commonly when I didn't have the proper software licenses installed inside the XP frames.

I agree that HP support is your best bet.
