SRDF Control Operations

Performing SRDF control operations


When SRDF control operations are initiated, the SRDF state of the device pair is first verified. If the device pair is not in a valid SRDF state to initiate the control operation, the action is blocked. For a list of control actions and the required SRDF pair states, refer to SRDF Pair State Reference on page 485. Table 7 lists the SRDF control operations explained in this chapter. For information on dynamic SRDF control operations, such as symrdf createpair and symrdf addgrp, see Dynamic SRDF Operations on page 83.

Activates or deactivates SRDF/A group-level write pacing.

Activates or deactivates SRDF/A device-level write pacing.

Activates or deactivates SRDF/A group-level and SRDF/A device-level write pacing at the same time. Initiates a cleanup operation to discard any incomplete SRDF/A data to maintain dependent write consistency. Enables or disables consistency protection for SRDF/A capable devices. Establishes remote mirroring and initiates a full data copy from the source (R1) device to the target (R2) device. Use this for: Initial synchronization of SRDF mirrors. Replacement of a failed drive on the R2 side.

Establish an SRDF pair (incremental) page 54

establish

Establishes remote mirroring and initiates an incremental data copy from the source (R1) device to the target (R2) device. Use this for resynchronization of SRDF mirrors after a split and if you can discard the target data.

Failback page 56

failback

Switches data processing from the target side (R2) back to the source (R1) side. Use this to return the source site from the target site after resolving the cause of a failure.

Failover page 59

failover

Switches data processing from the source (R1) side to the target (R2) side. Use this when a failure occurs on the source side.
