are BCVs currently established ?

This county1 host is a HACMP cluster and is a mirror of county2 server and my colleague said HACMP is not active rightnow, And SRDF is running on county2 continuously like a loop process ..we have a script provided by the EMC for SRDF , so in the log file ( /var/symapi/log/ symapi-20071228.log ) I seen the processes of synchronize , split , establish , suspend , synchronize and split Are running like loop process and I run symmir command for county2 device group I found the state of devices is keep on changing like syncinprog, synchronize , split like that from time to time with in span of minutes so is this is a reason for emc_cfgmgr saying hdisks are in undetermined state on county1 ..I assume ¿

i would try to run emc_cfgmgr when BCVs are in Split state.

If you are attempting to mount the BCV's at the R2 side you should first of all stop your replication script after a complete cycle.

Dynamox is right you should run the cfg mgr when the BCV's are in a split state.

If the emc_cfgmgr is running during the middle of a cycle the device state will be changing, the BCV will become not ready when it is in sync in progress and will change to RW when it is split. This could be confusing for the emc_cfgmgr script if the replication process is running.

Before stopping your script you should also ensure you know how to restart it and what state everything needs to be in before kicking off.
