Some suggessition from my side for creating new srdf group
Create dynamic rdf group
Build dynamic SRDF pairs
Perform the initial SRDF full establish
Change RDF mode
symrdf addgrp -label new-group-name -sid 123 -rdfg 01 -dir 9d,8d -remote_sid 345 -remote_dir 9d,8d -remote_rdfg 01
symrdf createpair -file pair.txt -type r1 -sid 123 -rdfg 01 -invalidate r2 -nop
symrdf -g new-group-name establish -full
symrdf -g new-group-name set mode sync
But I need steps for
How we can add and delete device pair when we use dynamic rdf group with SRDF/S mode
How we add and delete device pair when we use dynamic rdf group with SRDF/A mode

Is this steps is correct
Deleting Srdf/A Pair file
***********************
symrdf –g mySRDFAgroup disable -nop
symrdf -g mySRDFAgroup set mode acp_disk -nop
symrdf -rdfg 34 -sid 123 -file /var/tmp/pairfile.rdfg34 susp
symrdf -rdfg 34 -sid 123 -file /var/tmp/pairfile.rdfg34 deletepair -force

Hi All,
Sorry to pitch in so late,
How do is set up SRDF/A .Coule of steps i am aware however i am in confused in few steps
1)Create a device group and put the R1 device into that
2) make a file and put the device into that
3) do i need to establish the device in the createpair command only and then put into the Adaptive Copy mode and then set mode to Asyn.Can some one hlep me with the steps.
thanks

great .
i have read that we need to enable consistancy for SRDF/A...Does that follow the above mentioned steps or this is not necessary.
Suppose i need to add few more devices to the already exsiting SRDF/A replication device group .what are the steps that needs to be followed.

HI Ahmad,
If you wish to add deviced to an existing SRDF/A, you have two options:
1) either use the createpair command along with the ra group which is already in SRDFA
or
2) create a new ra group then do createpair and then use symrdf movepair command to move to an SRDF/A ra group.
things become little tricky when consistency is enabled for SRDF/A.

better to keep consistency enabled to keep the data at target consistent always. Disable is performed typically when new adding new devices to a group; with code 5874 there is a -cons_exempt option which can bypass the checking
