Dell EMC Solutions Enabler 9.2 SRDF Family CLI User Guide

Creating a device group using a device file

1. Create a list of device pairings in a device file.
2. Use the createpair command to create the dynamic SRDF pairs,
3. Use the -g GroupName option to add the devices in the device file to a device group with the specified name.

   For example, to create dynamic devices as specified in file devicefile and add them to a group named Newgrp:

   symrdf createpair -sid 55 -rdfg 2 -file devicefile -type rdf1 -invalidate r2 -g NewGrp
   
   

   All SRDF commands for these dynamic pairs can now be executed within the context of the NewGrp device group.
4. Use the -g GroupName option to perform operations on all the dynamic SRDF pairs in the group.

   For example, establish the group:

   symrdf -g NewGrp establish
