SRDF Control Operations

Table 7 SRDF control operations (page 3 of 3) Control operation Split an SRDF pair page 70 symrdf argument split Result Stops remote mirroring between the source (R1) device and the target (R2) device. The target device is made available for local host operations. Use this when both sides require independent access, such as for testing purposes. Suspend SRDF links page 72 Swap SRDF pairs page 73 Swap one-half of an SRDF pair page 73 Update R1 mirror page 74 suspend swap Suspends I/O traffic on the SRDF links for the remotely mirrored SRDF pairs in the group. Swaps the SRDF personality of the designated dynamic SRDF pair. Source R1 devices become target R2 devices and target R2 devices become source R1 devices. Swaps the SRDF personality of one half of the designated dynamic SRDF pair. Source R1 devices become target R2 devices or target R2 devices become source R1 devices. Updates the source (R1) side with the changes from the target (R2) side while the target (R2) side is still operational to its local hosts. Use this to synchronize the R1 side with the R2 side as much as possible before performing a failback, while the R2 side is still online to the host.

When used with list, the -all option shows all SRDF mirrors of the selected devices. Targets the specified BCV devices associated with a device or composite group and are configured as SRDF BCV devices. By default, only the SRDF standard devices are affected by the SRDF control operations. Targets the SRDF action at the specified remotely associated SRDF (Hop 2) BCV devices that can be paired with the remote mirrors of the local BCV devices. Targets the SRDF control operation at both sides of an SRDF link.
