4.21.2.2 Dual Hosts
In the following example, the paircreate command is unable to operate the paired volume
because the volume described on HostB is different than the SLPR of the command device.
Also, the raidscan -p CL3-A command (via both Hosts), will be unable to scan a port because
the specified port is different than the SLPR of the command device.

To operate SLPR#N, assign the command device. If HostB has a command device for
SLPR#N, the paircreate command will be permitted. However, the raidscan -p CL3-A
command via HostA will be unable to scan a port because the specified port is different than
the SLPR of the command device. In this case, raidscan -p CL3-A command must be
operated via HostB.
