RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF 1.10)

After you enter your response, RDFCOM prompts you for your next command.
4. Having initiated the RDF TAKEOVER operation, you can then use a STATUS RDF command
to determine the status of the TAKEOVER operation. If the TAKEOVER operation is still in
progress when you enter the STATUS RDF command, the subsystem displays the current state
as “TAKEOVER IN PROGRESS.”
If the TAKEOVER is finished, RDF displays this message in response to the STATUS RDF
command:
STATUS RDF (\SANFRAN -> \TORONTO6) is NOT running
An RDF TAKEOVER has completed
Safe MAT position is SNO 1, RBA 87876660
MAT position for File Recovery: SNO 1, RBA 87876740
Check the log for 724 or 725 messages. Message 724 indicates that the takeover completed
successfully. Message 725 indicates that it did not, and you should reissue the TAKEOVER
command.
UNPINAUDIT
The UNPINAUDIT command unpins TMF audit trail files on the primary system.
UNPINAUDIT
Where Issued
Primary system only.
Security Restrictions
You can issue the UNPINAUDIT command if you are a member of the super ID group.
RDF State Requirement
You can only issue the UNPINAUDIT command while RDF is stopped.
Usage Guidelines
If the system at which you issue the UNPINAUDIT command is the primary system in more than
one RDF configuration, then you must open the RDF control subvolume and issue another
UNPINAUDIT command for each of the other RDF configurations as well. The TMF audit trail files
will not be unpinned until an UNPINAUDIT command has been executed for all RDF configurations
that use them.
If you cannot remember all of the RDF configurations that might have pinned audit trail files and
the pinned files are affecting TMF, then you must stop TMF. While audit files remain pinned even
when RDF is stopped, no files are pinned once TMF has been stopped and restarted.
If you unpin files, RDF cannot be restarted if the files required by the extractor cannot be made
available. When you unpin audit trail files, be sure that these files are dumped to disk or tape. If
they are not dumped and the TMP renames the file or files required by the extractor, you will have
to reinitialize RDF.
In response to the UNPINAUDIT command, RDFCOM issues a prompt asking you to confirm your
request.
If the files are unpinned successfully, RDFCOM issues an informational message to that effect.
If an error occurs while attempting to unpin the audit trail files, the command is ignored, and
RDFCOM issues a message indicating the error.
Example
To unpin TMF audit trail files on the primary system, enter:
