please consult with support #KB 679882323


EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility devices are configured in pairs. The mirrorin
g relationship between the pairs becomes operational as soon as the EMC Symmetri
x Remote Data Facility links are online. If you have dynamic SRDF available, you
have the capability to change relationships between R1 and R2 volumes in your d
evice pairings on the fly without requiring a BIN file configuration change.
The EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility device group can hold one of two types of
devices:
RDF1 source device, which acts as the primary
RDF2 target device, which acts as the secondary

Check the existing RA-Group


symcfg list -ra all
Create RA-Group
symrdf addgrp -label <label name> -rdfg <rdfg number> -sid <XXXX> -dir <XX>,<XX
> -remote_rdfg <rdfg number> -remote_sid <XXXX> -remote_dir <XX>,<XX> -nop
Note: rdfg and remote-rdfg should be same to manage easier.
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
symrdf -file Virtual_OS.txt -sid <XXXX> -rdfg <rdfg number> createpair -type R
1 -invalidate R2 -rdf_mode acp_disk -nop
Check the pair creation
symrdf list -rdfg <devicegroup number>

symdg list
Add your two devices to your device group using the symld command. Again use ( h)
for a synopsis of the command syntax.
On local host:
# symld g <devicegroupname> add dev ###

On remote host:
# symld

g <devicegroupname> add dev ###

On local host:
# symdg show <devicegroupname> |more
On remote host:
# symdg show <devicegroupname> | more
Check the current status
symrdf -g Virtual_OS
Start full synchronization
symrdf -g Virtual_OS establish -nop
Change mode to async.
symrdf -g Virtual_OS set mode async -nop
