Make R1 ready
The Ready state means the specified mirror is ready to the host. The mirror is enabled for both reads and writes.
ready r1 sets the source (R1) devices to ready for their local hosts.
This operation is particularly helpful when all SRDF links are lost and the devices are operating in domino mode.
Syntax
Use ready r1 for a device group, composite group, storage group, or device file:
symrdf -g DgName ready r1 symrdf -cg CgName ready r1 symrdf -sg SgName ready r1 symrdf -f[ile] FileName ready r1
Examples
To make the source (R1) device ready in all the SRDF pairs in device group prod:
symrdf -g prod ready r1
