Hello.

I am trying to split an SRDF group that I did not create.  When I do I get an error that one of the devices is a Meta Memeber.

symrdf -sid 2489 -f group_24.dev -rdfg 24 split

Execute an RDF 'Split' operation for device file
'group_24.dev' (y/ ) ? y

An RDF 'Split' operation execution is in progress for device
file 'group_24.dev'. Please wait...

Cannot operate on the device because it is a 'META MEMBER'

I am not sure how that can happen.  The device in question is in a consistent state but when I do a show dev on it it does indeeed say it is a Meta member.

/var/symapi/log/

01/25/2010 23:03:53.914  12116      1 EMC:SYMRDF                rdf_validate_devlist Local device: 1BD4 (SID: 000190102489) is a META member.

symrdf -sid 2489 -f group_24.dev -rdfg 24 query

N/A     1BD4 RW       0        0 RW 28F4 WD       0        0 A..   Consistent

symdev -sid 2489 show 1bd4

    Device Symmetrix Name    : 1BD4
    Device Serial ID         : N/A
    Symmetrix ID             : 000190102489

    Device Configuration     : RDF1+Mir        (Meta Member,
                                                Non-Exclusive Access)

So my question is how could this have been SRDF'd from the start since it is a meta member?  Like I said before I did not set this group up originally.

Thanks!
