RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF Update 13)
Use SET TRIGGER and ADD TRIGGER commands to configure the following trigger attributes:
• PROGRAM
• INFILE
• OUTFILE
• CPUS
• PRIORITY
• WAIT or NOWAIT
The PROGRAM parameter specifies the name of a Guardian object file that is executed once RDF
has reached a particular state, either after a STOP RDF, REVERSE, or TAKEOVER operation.
The INFILE attribute specifies the name of an edit file that will be passed as the IN file to the trigger
process when it is created.
The OUTFILE attribute specifies the name of a file or process that will be passed as the OUT file
to the trigger process when it is created.
The CPUS attribute specifies the number of the primary and alternate CPUs in which the trigger
process is to run.
The PRIORITY attribute specifies the priority at which the trigger process will run.
WAIT causes RDF to wait for the trigger process to terminate before shutting down. NOWAIT
specifies that once the trigger process is launched, RDF can immediately proceed to shut down.
For further details on how you might use these triggers, see the sections on switchover and takeover
in Chapter 6 (page 147).
Setting Network Configuration Record Attributes
Use SET NETWORK and ADD NETWORK commands to configure the following network
configuration record attributes:
• PRIMARYSYSTEM system-name
• BACKUPSYSTEM system-name
• REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL subvolume-name
• PNETTXVOLUME volume-name
If you are configuring the network master RDF subsystem, you must include a network configuration
record for every RDF subsystem in the RDF network (including the network master itself). Each of
those records must include the following parameters:
Name of the primary system.PRIMARYSYSTEM system-name
Name of the associated backup system.BACKUPSYSTEM system-name
Name of the primary system’s remote control subvolume.REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL subvolume-name
Name of the primary system volume on which the RDF subsystem
stores an audited network synchronization file.
PNETTXVOLUME volume-name
If you are configuring a non network master RDF subsystem, you must include a single network
configuration record containing the following attributes:
Name of the network master’s primary system.PRIMARYSYSTEM system-name
Name of the network master’s backup system.BACKUPSYSTEM system-name
Name of the network master’s remote control subvolume.REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL subvolume-name
