text: Other configuration commands are permitted even though the systems are disconnected. The 
  state is reconciled automatically by MM/GM when the systems become connected again. 
  
  For any command (with one exception), a single system receives the command from the 
  administrator. This design is significant for defining the context for a CreateRelationship 
  **mkrcrelationship**or CreateConsistencyGroup**mkrcconsistgrp**command. In this case, the 
  system that is receiving the command is called the*local system*. 
  
  The exception is a command that sets systems into a MM/GM partnership. The 
  **mkfcpartnership**and**mkippartnership**commands must be issued on both the local and 
  remote systems. 
  
  The commands in this section are described as an abstract command set, and are 
  implemented by either of the following methods: 
  
  (cid:2) CLI can be used for scripting and automation. 
  (cid:2) GUI can be used for one-off tasks. 
  
  **11.7.2 Listing available system partners**
  
  Use the**lspartnershipcandidate**command to list the systems that are available for setting 
  up a two-system partnership. This command is a prerequisite for creating MM/GM 
  relationships. 
  
  **Note:**This command is not supported on IP partnerships. Use**mkippartnership**for 
  IP connections.
