Dell EMC Solutions Enabler 9.2 SRDF Family CLI User Guide

SRDF/Star operation categories

SRDF/Star operations can be broken into four categories.

Table 1. SRDF/Star operation categories
Operation Category Description
Normal operations Used to configure and setup SRDF/Star to achieve SRDF/Star protection.

Includes the actions required to isolate a site for testing or other required data processing.

Transient fault operations Used to recover from a temporary failure caused by loss of network connectivity or either target site.

Transient faults do not disrupt production at the workload site, so these operations can be executed at the workload site.

Switch operations
  • Planned:

    Used to move the production workload to a new site with a planned procedure.

    Planned switch operations are often used for maintenance purposes. They can also be used to return the workload to the original workload site after a disaster forced a move of production activity to one of the target sites.

  • Unplanned:

    Used to recover from faults caused by the loss of a workload site.

    The loss of a workload site requires an unplanned switch of the workload to one of the target sites.

Reconfigure operations
  • Planned:

    Transitions the SRDF/Star setup from concurrent SRDF to cascaded SRDF or vice versa as part of a planned event.

  • Unplanned:

    Transitions the SRDF/Star setup from concurrent SRDF to cascaded SRDF or vice versa after a failure.

Reconfigure operations can be used to resolve a transient fault or as part of a switch operation.
