Symmetrix SRDF setup and Testing

Hi All,

I am setting up SRDF/A between Primary and DR Sites.  We would be creating dynamic RA groups. How do we set up zoning? Do we zone WWPN of local RA director port to WWPN of remote RA Director Port or do we zone to RA director WWN number instead of WWPN of port number.

Do we need to map R1/R2 devices to regular FA ports or RA director ports? If i map R1 and R2 devices to regular FA port and not RA Director ports, then how will the RA director talk to device.

Do we need to mask R1 to remote RA director port (or director itself) and R2 devices to remote RA director ports(or Director itself) also in addition to masking it to windows Host HBA at primary and DR sites?

Also, when working with dynamic RA groups, in case of DR, how can i run symrdf failover command on primary site? Can it be run on DR site as well using the same device group name that was created when using symrdf create file command.

Your help is appriciated. Thanks once again.
