Symptoms

当 SRDF 设备设置为异步模式时，R2 设备将处于一致状态，因此 symclone 建立将失败，如下所示： 
  
symrdf -g test_dg que

The request is not allowed for SRDF/A-capable devices in async mode

Cause

当异步模式下的 R2 设备用作克隆源时，symclone establish 命令会失败
，因为“establish”会彼此之间执行“重新创建/激活”时刻。预拷贝绝不会有机会生效。

但是-precopy 或 -copy 可用于在创建克隆拷贝时维护 SRDF/A 一致性会话。

Resolution

要创建一致的克隆拷贝，请分开单独执行“重新创建/激活”命令，而不是将两个操作同时包含的单个建立命令。

下面的示例： 
  
symclone -g "test_dg" recreate -precopy -tgt
symclone -g "test_dg" activate -tgt -consistent

这将有效地取代 symclone establish。
