This appendix provides an example walkthrough of the SRDF/Metro interface with Unisphere for PowerMax 9.0. The following operations are covered in the examples:
Identify SRDF/S Group between Source and Target arrays
For this example, we will be using an existing SRDF synchronous SRDF group (SyncRDFG) and associated storage group (SyncApp1). Choose Data Protection, Storage Groups, SRDF for the following display:
Identify subset of devices within SRDF/S Group to be Moved
Within the SyncApp1 storage group, identify one or more devices to be moved to the SRDF/Metro active group. The movepair operation will be accomplished in a later step; we are simply identifying candidate devices in this step.
Verify SRDF/Metro Group is currently Active
On the primary array (0130), choose Data Protection, Storage Groups, SRDF, to verify that the MetroApp1 storage group mode is active.
Perform a Movepair –Exempt operation to active SRDF/Metro Group
To move the previously identified devices to the SRDF/Metro active configuration, choose Data Protection, Storage Groups, double click on the SyncApp1 group, select the devices previously identified, then from the vertical dot dropdown, choose the Move option above to enter the appropriate wizard to add move devices between SRDF groups.
Display updated SRDF/Metro Group for Newly Added Devices
From Data Protection, SRDF Groups, double click on the MetroRDFG group to enter the device list for that group and verify that the moved devices are now present in the active SRDF/Metro group.
