Dell EMC Solutions Enabler 9.2 SRDF Family CLI User Guide

1. Create a text file containing two columns.
2. Add a separate line in the file for each device pair.

   All devices for one side of the SRDF pair must be in the first column, and all devices for the other side of the SRDF pair must be in the second column.

   It does not matter which side (R1 or R2) is in which column. The -type option of the symrdf createpair command defines the SRDF personality for column1.

   NOTE:

   All devices for an SRDF side must be in the same column. That is, all R1 devices must be in either the left or right column, and all R2 devices must be in the other column.

HYPERMAX OS

Solutions Enabler with HYPERMAX OS 5977 does not support meta-devices.

SRDF device pairs consisting of meta-devices on one side and non-meta-devices on the other side are valid if the meta-devices are on an array running Enginuity 5876.

Example

In the following example, the vi text editor creates the RDFG148 device file consisting of 7 SRDF pairs for the local and remote arrays.

When the symrdf createpair -file FileName command processes the device file, the -type option determines whether the devices in the left column are R1 or R2.
