Static RDF

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to break the relationship b/w two devices which were a Static RDF pair. The problem I'm having is the R2 frame has been removed without breaking this relationship..Though on the R1 side it shows me the R2 device it was once talking to, I'm not able to break the Rel'ship b/w these devices.

As this is a static pair I did try using

convert dev XXXX to 2-way-mir; and executed this file but this comes back with an error "Could not find any valid (online and connected) RA Director to use for remote call"

Any suggestions ??

Thanks
Sumanth

i believe you will need to contact EMC to change that flag in the bin file since that target frame is gone and this is static RDF.

unless anything changed in recent code i am afraid not. I was decommissioning an old DMX1000 and we forgot to delete a couple of old relationships on DMX2000. Once DMX1000 was gone and we decided to dissolve those SRDF relationships ..we had to call support to do it in the bin file.

Due to the fact that the device pair was static, you will need to contact EMC and request that your friendly EMC CE change the bin to remove the RDF relationship.

Hello Sumath,If the symcli version is 6.2 or above and 5671 microcode is there then you can reak the relationship using the following command :As your remote symm not longer present thats waht you have to brek the relationship using this commandsymrdf half_deletepair -sid xxx -file devicefile -rdfg xx Sanjeev Tanwar

I had the same issue DMX-3.EMC has to change the Bin file to fix it.
