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

Thus, within its configuration file, the network master has all necessary information about every
system in the RDF network (whereas the other systems have only a pointer enabling them to obtain
information about other systems in the network).
PRIMARYSYSTEM Attribute
The PRIMARYSYSTEM attribute specifies the name of a primary system. There is no default value.
Each primary system within an RDF network must be unique within the network. An RDF network
cannot contain two or more RDF subsystems with the same primary system (that is, it cannot contain
RDF subsystems for \A to \B and \A to \C).
BACKUPSYSTEM Attribute
The BACKUPSYSTEM attribute specifies the name of the backup system associated with the specified
primary system. There is no default value.
REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL Attribute
The REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL attribute specifies the name of the control subvolume used by the
RDF subsystem configured for the specified primary and backup systems. There is no default value.
PNETTXVOLUME Attribute
The PNETTXVOLUME 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.
You only use this attribute when configuring the network master. On the master you must include
this parameter within every network configuration record (including the one for the master itself).
Setting Individual Process Attributes
Having set the global attributes, you are now ready to set the parameters that apply to individual
RDF processes: the RDFNET, monitor, extractor, receiver, purger, and updater processes.
RDFNET Process
Use SET RDFNET and ADD RDFNET commands to configure the following RDFNET attributes:
• CPUS primary-CPU : backup-CPU
• PRIORITY
• PROCESS
The CPUS attribute specifies the processors in the primary system in which the RDFNET process
will run.
The PRIORITY attribute specifies the priority at which the RDFNET process will run. You should set
the RDFNET process’ priority slightly lower than that of the RDF monitor process.
The PROCESS attribute supplies a name for the RDFNET process. You should specify a meaningful
mnemonic such as $RNET. The process name can be any unique valid process name up to six
characters, including the $ symbol. However, you cannot specify HP reserved process names that
are of the form $X*, $Y*, or $Z*, in which * is any alphanumeric string.
Monitor Process
Use SET MONITOR and ADD MONITOR commands to configure the following monitor parameters:
• CPUS primary-CPU : backup-CPU
• PRIORITY
• PROCESS
