SRDF help needed.

Hi All,

I am planning to move few devices from 1 srdf group to the other.Currently all devices are in async mode and in consistent state.

I tried to execute the below command after suspend the replication.(devices are in suspend status now)

symrdf -sid 305 -rdfg 10 -file rdf.txt movepair -new_rdfg 6

But I am getting the below error:

The requested operation cannot be performed while SRDF/A session is active

Any suggestion to resolve this issue.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello uppigoud,

The symrdf movepair command is failing with "The requested operation cannot be performed while SRDF/A session is active".

Article Content

Symptoms

As of Enginuity 5773, the -cons_exempt option was added to work around this restriction.

Trying to move RDF pairs into a group that is in async mode and it is failing.

Error msg: The requested operation cannot be performed while SRDF/A session is active

Cause

SRDF/A requires all pairs in the session to be acted upon together, so this is by design.

Resolution

Use the -cons_exempt option with the symrdf movepair command. This will allow you to add the new pairs without having to affect the existing pairs in the rdf group.

Just add the option -cons_exempt and you'll be good to go:

symrdf -sid 305 -rdfg 10 -file rdf.txt movepair -new_rdfg 6 -cons_exempt
