Dell EMC Solutions Enabler 9.2 SRDF Family CLI User Guide

Use the -consistent option with the start action to:

• Consistently split all of the BCV pairs on the local array in a typical SRDF configuration
• Consistently split all of the BCV pairs on the Hop 1 remote array in a multi-hop configuration.

  Consistent split operations are automatically retried if the split fails to complete within the allotted window. If a consistent split operation fails due to the consistency timing window closing before the split can complete (SYMAPI_C_CONSISTENCY_WINDOW_CLOSED):

• The first-hop local BCV device pairs are automatically resynchronized, and
• The split operation is reattempted.

The consistent split error recovery operation is attempted the number of times specified in the SYMCLI_REPLICATE_CONS_SPLIT_RETRY file parameter, defined in the replicate options file.

If a value is not specified, then the recovery operation is attempted 3 times before terminating the symreplicate session.

Setting the symreplicate control parameters provides more information.
