RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF Update 13)
Cause
You tried to add a volume to the RDF configuration and use the online database synchronization
feature, but RDF/IMP or IMPX is not installed.
Effect
The ADD command fails.
Recovery
If you want to perform online database synchronization, RDF/IMP or IMPX must be installed on
both the primary and backup systems.
Data from auxiliary audit trails is not allowed with lockstep
Cause
You tried to add an auxiliary extractor or receiver to an RDF environment that had previously
been configured for lockstep operations.
Effect
The ADD EXTRACTOR or ADD RECEIVER command fails.
Recovery
You cannot have both lockstep operation and protection for data configured to an auxiliary
audit trail in the same RDF subsystem. If you want lockstep protection, then your data must be
placed on TMF data volumes configured to the Master Audit Trail. If your data must remain on
TMF data volumes configured to auxiliary audit trails, then you must reconfigure your RDF
subsystem without lockstep protection.
You must rethink what data you want protected and whether or not it needs lockstep protection.
You might have to configure two separate RDF subsystems, protecting lockstep data with one
subsystem, and protecting the data associated with auxiliary audit trails with the other RDF
subsystem. You cannot have lockstep protection for data configured to auxiliary audit trails.
Do you still wish to start at this point? [Y/N]
Cause
In response to your INITIALIZE RDF command and your confirmation to proceed with that
command’s execution, RDFCOM has found the record with the specified TMF shutdown timestamp
in the MAT and RDF is ready to be initialized at that shutdown point. This message requests
your confirmation to proceed further.
Effect
If you respond YES or Y, RDF will be initialized at the shutdown point you specified; when RDF
starts, the extractor will begin reading audit at that point in the audit trail. If you respond NO
or N, however, the subsystem will not be initialized.
Recovery
This is an informational message; no recovery is required.
Do you wish to proceed? [Y/N]
Cause
You entered an INITIALIZE RDF command that attempted to initialize RDF at a specific TMF
shutdown timestamp, and received this message as a prompt for confirmation.
Effect
If you respond YES or Y, RDFCOM searches the MAT file for a TMF shutdown timestamp equal
to the one specified. If you respond NO or N, RDF is not initialized.
Recovery
This is an informational message; no recovery is required.
