RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF Update 13)

NOTE: The RDF administrator must ensure that the data of the files included or excluded must be
consistent. The ALTER command will neither ensure data consistency of files being included or
excluded nor it will report or correct any data inconsistency that the execution of the ALTER
command. In an emergency, if RDF initialization is not possible, HP recommends that you use the
ALTER command to modify the INCLUDE/EXCLUDE clause while RDF is running. INCLUDE/EXCLUDE
and INCLUDEPURGE/EXCLUDEPURGE are performed best during RDF Initialization.
You can specify a maximum of 100 INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters for each volume, in any
combination.
Unlike the behavior of other SET parameters, successive INCLUDE/EXCLUDE parameters do not
supersede preceding ones in the RDF configuration memory table (they merely extend the include
and exclude lists for the particular data volume).
If you want to use the same INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists for each volume, you only have to use the
SET commands when configuring the first updater. After you ADD that updater, the same
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists are retained in memory, and you only need to configure the other updater
attributes. When you ADD the next updater, it inherits the same INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists.
If you want to specify different INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists for each volume, then you should use the
RESET VOLUME command after you ADD each updater. The RESET VOLUME command clears out
any INCLUDE/EXCLUDE lists you SET for the previous updater.
To view the current INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters in the RDF configuration memory table,
issue a SHOW VOLUME command.
To view the INCLUDE and EXCLUDE parameters for an updater that has already been added,
issue an INFO VOLUME or INFO $volume command.
Examples
Suppose that one of the volumes containing audited files on the primary system is named $DATA01
and you want to create an updater process named $U01 to maintain a copy of that volume, named
$DATA1, on the backup system.
To configure the updater process to run in CPUs 3 and 4 at the default priority of 160 using the
secondary image trail volume $SECIT1, issue these commands:
]SET VOLUME PROCESS $U01
]SET VOLUME CPUS 3:4
]SET VOLUME IMAGEVOLUME $SECIT1
]SET VOLUME UPDATEVOLUME $DATA1
]ADD VOLUME $DATA01
Suppose that another volume on the primary system is named $DATA02 and you want to create
an updater process named $U02 to replicate changes to only those tables and files on $DATA02
whose subvolume name begins with OEM2 or OEM5.
To configure the updater process to run in CPUs 5 and 6 at the default priority of 160 using
secondary image trail volume $SECIT2 and data volume $DATA2 on the backup system, issue
these commands:
]SET VOLUME PROCESS $U02
]SET VOLUME CPUS 5:6
]SET VOLUME IMAGEVOLUME $SECIT2
]SET VOLUME UPDATEVOLUME $DATA2
]SET VOLUME INCLUDE OEM2*.*
]SET VOLUME INCLUDE OEM5*.*
]ADD VOLUME $DATA02
