REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL (RCSV) Network Attribute
The remote control subvolume (RCSV) is the name of the control subvolume used by the RDF
subsystem configured for the specified primary and backup systems. It is set by this RDFCOM
command.
SET NETWORK REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL subvolume-name
There is no default value.
PNETTXVOLUME Network Attribute
You only use this attribute when configuring the network master. On the master you must include
this attribute within every network configuration record (including the one for the master itself).
This attribute specifies the name of the volume on the particular primary system where the RDF
network master stores an audited network-synchronization file. The specified volume must be
a data volume protected by the RDF subsystem on the primary system and be configured to the
MAT. The PNETTXVOLUME volume is set by this RDFCOM command.
SET NETWORK PNETTXVOLUME volume-name
There is no default value.
Adding the Network Record
When you have finished setting the attributes of a network record for a given RDF subsystem,
you add that information to your current configuration file with this RDFCOM command.

RDF Network Synchronizer (RDFNET) Process
RDF/IMPX and RDF/ZLT include an RDF executable process, the RDFNET process, that can only
be configured within a network master RDF subsystem (and can therefore only be started on the
network master’s primary system).
This process provides a synchronization point within the image trails of all backup systems in
an RDF network. The process does that by updating an audited file named ZRDFNETX on the
primary system of each RDF subsystem in the RDF network. The overhead of this process should
be transparent because the RDFNET process only starts a single transaction every 15 seconds
and only executes a single update against the ZRDFNETX file on the primary system of each
RDF subsystem in the RDF network.
The fully-qualified name of the ZRDFNETX file for each system is:
$volume-name.subvolume-name.ZRDFNETX
where volume-name is the configured PNETTXVOLUME network attribute and
subvolume-nameis the configured REMOTECONTROLSUBVOLUME network attribute.
RDF Network Control Files
These control files exist in the Master Image Trail (MIT) subvolume of all RDF subsystems that
are configured for replication of network transactions: ZRDFLCMT, ZRDFLCM2, and
ZNETUNDO. Additionally, the network master has three more files: ZRDFNMTX, ZRDFNMT2,
ZRDFNMT3. These files contain internal information that RDF needs to execute takeover
operations involving an RDF network correctly. The files are empty until you actually initiate a
takeover operation on a backup system within an RDF network.
Normal RDF Processing Within a Network Environment
Each RDF subsystem within an RDF network conducts its processing individually, as though it
were not involved in an RDF network. That is, for a given RDF subsystem, the extractors read
