Add/remove supporting directors for an SRDF group

When adding a director to a dynamic group, that director for the local array must be online and a physical link to one online director in the remote array must exist.

NOTE:

Making physical cable changes within the SRDF environment may disable the ability to modify and delete dynamic group configurations.

NOTE:

Reassigning directors for SRDF dynamic groups requires that you understand the network fabric topology when choosing director endpoints.

The group label or group number is required for modify operations.

Example - Modify a group using HYPERMAX OS

Arrays running HYPERMAX OS support multiple ports per director. You must specify both the director ID and the port number when modifying the local and remote ports. To add port 12 on local director 3h to SRDF group 38:

symrdf modifygrp -add -rdfg 38 -dir 3h:12 -sid 000197100001 -nop

Example - Modify a group using Enginuity 5876

Arrays running Enginuity 5876 support a single port per director. Specify only the director ID when specifying the ports to add/remove to/from the SRDF group. For example:

symrdf modifygrp -add -rdfg 38 -dir 3h -sid 000195700001 -nop

Example - Modify a group in a mixed configuration

When one array in an SRDF configuration is running HYPERMAX OS, and one array is running Enginuity 5876, specify only the director ID on the array running 5876, and specify both the director ID and port number on the array running HYPERMAX OS. For example:

symrdf modifygrp -add -rdfg 38 -dir 3h:12 -remote_dir 5f -sid 000197100001 -remote_sid 000195700228 -nop

Example - Remove a director

To remove director 13a from the group dyngrp4 on the local array 6180:

symrdf modifygrp -sid 6180 -label dyngrp4 -remove -dir 13a
