Goals: Step by step SRDF configure will be done based on following information.

It is assumed that your Symmetrix already dynamic SRDF enabled and there is no
connectivity probem with Sorce (R1) and Remote (R2) Symmetrix

------------------------------------------
1. RA-Group
Check the existing RA-Group -> C:> symcfg list -ra all
Create RA-Group C:> symrdf addgrp -label RDFGROUP20 -rdfg 20 -sid <XXXX> -d
ir <XX>,<XX> -remote_rdfg 20 -remote_sid <XXXX> -remote_dir <XX>,<XX> -nop

Note: rdfg and remote-rdfg should be same to manage easier.

2.Create Dynamic SRDF Pair
Create Pair File
File Name: Virtual_OS.txt
100 150
101 151
102 151

Create Dynamic SRDF Pair with adaptive copy disk mode C:> symrdf -file Virt
ual_OS.txt -sid <XXXX> -rdfg 20 createpair -type R1 -invalidate R2 -rdf_mode ac
p_disk -nop
Check the pair creation C:> symrdf list -rdfg 20
3. Create Device Group
Check the existing DG C:> symdg list
Create Device Group C:> symdg create Virtual_OS -type rdf1
Add R1 members to the DG. C:> symld -g Virtual_OS add dev 100
C:> symld -g Virtual_OS add dev 101
C:> symld -g Virtual_OS add dev 102
or
C:> symld -g Virtual_OS addall -RANGE 100:102
4. Start full synchronization
Check the current status C:> symrdf -g Virtual_OS
Start full synchronization C:> symrdf -g Virtual_OS establish -nop

5. Change SRDF mode to Async
I. Check the invalid tracks on R2. C:> symrdf -g Virtual_OS query
Wait until "R2 Inv Tracks" < 3000 <OUTPUT>
Then, change the mode to Async with the next procedure.

Device Group (DG) Name : Virtual_OS
DG's Type : RDF1
DG's Symmetrix ID : XXXXXXXXX (Microcode Version: XXXX)

II. Change mode to async. C:> symrdf -g Virtual_OS set mode async -nop
III. Enable the consistency mode. C:> symrdf -g Virtual_OS enable -nop
