Set Dynamic SRDF between DMX 3000 and DMX 4 for A lun
Hi
Let me explain my situation:
I have two DMX boxes one of them is a DMX 3000 and the Second one a DMX 4, i need to replicate one Lun from the DMX 3000 to DMX 4, the Lun on the DMX 3000 is a meta head with 16 members and its configuracion is as follows
| Device Configuration : RAID-S (7+1) (Meta Head, |
--> 1009 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100A 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100C 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100B 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100D 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100E 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100F 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1010 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1011 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1012 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1013 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1014 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1015 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1016 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1017 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
1018 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
And the target lun on the DMX 4 is:
03C5 es a Meta Head with 16 Members
i want to replicate the Lun 1009 to 03C5, dont worry about the conections I have all conections and the Link is ready between boxes.
The problem Here is:
The lun 1009 is a production Lun, do i need to set the RDF1 to the Lun? wont it afect it? the third thing is if you see the members the sequence is wrong
1009 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100A 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100C 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100B 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
100D 8714 - - N/A - - N/A
if you see there are luns like 100A and the next is 100C and so on.
I dont know how the customer created this meta by using no sequential meta members.
Please could you tell me how can i replicate this lun from the box DMX 3000 to DMX 4 by using Solutions Enabler to a Sequential Lun on the DMX 4 Box
Please tell me the steps.
Best regards

Hi
Please can you check my script so that o can configure Dynamic SRDF.
Both Symmetrix are not Dynamic RDF capable i need to set the Flag
DymRDF548.txt
set Symmetrix dynamic_rdf=enable;
symconfigure -sid 548 -f DymRDF548.txt preview -v
symconfigure -sid 548 -f DymRDF548.txt prepare -v
symconfigure -sid 548 -f DymRDF548.txt commit -v
DymRDF540.txt
set Symmetrix dynamic_rdf=enable;
symconfigure -sid 540 -f DymRDF540.txt preview -v
symconfigure -sid 540 -f DymRDF540.txt prepare -v
symconfigure -sid 540 -f DymRDF540.txt commit -v
*************************************************
I need to create the Dynamic RDF Group
symrdf addgrp -label dyngrp4 -rdfg 4 -sid 548 -dir 08d -remote_rdfg 4 -remote_sid 540 -remote_dir 8d
Question: I have 2 RA ports how can i add the 09D?
Question: this command creates the RDFG 4 in both boxes or i need to create the RDFG 4 in the remote box?
Question: Can i use the same RA ports? Wont it affect my current static replication?
*************************************************
set source device to be R1
set device 1009 attribute=dyn_rdf1_only;
set device on DMX4 to R2
set device 03C5 attribute=dyn_rdf2_only;
*************************************************
Create a file that contains source in one column and target in another
Lunfile_1009.txt
1009 03C5
*************************************************
Check the RDF groups
symcfg -RA all list
symcfg -sid 548 list -rdfg all
Create the pair between boxes
symrdf createpair -file Lunfile_1009.txt -sid 548 -rdfg 4 -type rdf1 -invalidate r2
This step initiats the actual copy
symrdf –f Lunfile_1009.txt establish -sid 548 -rdfg 4
symrdf -f Lunfile_1009.txt set mode acp_disk -sid 548 -rdfg 4
Note:
548 local
540 remote
Thanks

Hi Guanabacoa,
Question: I have 2 RA ports how can i add the 09D?
Saurabh : You can add another RF port to your RA group using symrdf modifygrp command:
symrdf modifygrp <-add | -remove>
<-rdfg | -label >
-sid [-dir
[-noprompt] [-i ] [-c ] [-star]
Question: this command creates the RDFG 4 in both boxes or i need to create the RDFG 4 in the remote box?
Saurabh: Yes in both Symm. No need to create RDFG in remote Symm.
Question: Can i use the same RA ports? Wont it affect my current static replication?
Saurabh: RDF works on logical link (RDFG links), It can use the same port for static as well as for dynamic.
Rest all looks fine to me..if anyone wants to add or advise please do so..
Thanks,
Saurabh

1) symrdf addgrp -label dyngrp4 -rdfg 4 -sid 548 -dir 08d,09d -remote_rdfg 4 -remote_sid 540 -remote_dir 8d,09d
2) rdfg 4 will be created on both boxes.

Guanabacoa,
you srdf mode is acp_disk, what mode are you planing, sync or async. if so you need to set the mode, once both are in sync.

Hi
I used these commands to set both boxes Dynamic RDF capable and it worked fine
DymRDF548.txt
set Symmetrix dynamic_rdf=enable;
DymRDF540.txt
set Symmetrix dynamic_rdf=enable;
But when i tried to create the new Dynamic RDF group by using this command:
symrdf addgrp -label dyngrp4 -rdfg 4 -sid 548 -dir 08d,09d -remote_rdfg 4 -remote_sid 540 -remote_dir 8d,09d
But i got these error message:
The switched or dynamic RDF features are not properly enabled in the Symmetrix, or the Symmetrix are connected point to point
But the Dynamic RDF capable flag is already enable in both boxes.
how can i resolve this?
do i need to configure something else?
Do i need to set the properties to switched?
how can i do that?
if you have any workaround can i perform it on the fly without affect my current static replication, i mean, no split, no suspend, etc?
Best regards

hi
switched is not enable en both boxes, let me tell you i have point to point connection, i mean, DMX 3000 8d 9d to DMX 8d 9d back to back.
What happens if i enable switched en both boxes (how can i do that?) will it affect my current static replication(configuration) do i need to split my current static replication to do that? o can i do that on the fly?
Best Regards

HI,
You need to have a switch between these two Symm to configure Dynamic SRDF. Point to Point connetion is only for Static SRDF.
Thanks,
Saurabh
