Establish a concurrent SRDF relationship
Use the symrdf migrate -setup command to establish a concurrent relationship between the source device and two target devices.
In the preceding example:
- The R1 device becomes the concurrent R11 device writing to two R2devices.
- Data synchronization in adaptive copy disk mode begins between the device and the R2 device on Site C.
- No SRDF pairing exists between the devices on Site C and Site B.
NOTE: You may need to modify existing device group or composite group scripts to accommodate the new R11 configuration.
