RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)
Performing Routine Operational Tasks
Through RDFCOM and RDFSCAN, you can perform many different RDF functions. Among
these are the routine operational tasks that system operators do from day-to-day. These routine
tasks include:
• Displaying current configuration parameters and operating statistics
• Changing configuration parameters
• Reading RDF messages
Other specialized tasks are described throughout the manual.
Displaying Current Configuration Parameters and Operating Statistics
While RDF is running, you can obtain current configuration information and operating statistics
for the RDF environment by using ASAP (Appendix E (page 439)) or by using the RDFCOM
utility. To display this information using the RDFCOM utility, enter the STATUS RDF command:
]STATUS RDF
In response, RDF displays:
RDFCOM - T0346A07 - 05JUL05

STATUS RDF Display
In the STATUS RDF display, the first line gives the name of the primary system (\RDF04 in this
example), the name of the backup system (\RDF05 in this example), and the timestamp that
shows when the STATUS RDF command was issued. The second line specifies the fully-qualified
name of the control subvolume. The third line specifies the current state of the subsystem; any
of the following entries are possible:
• Normal
• Normal - Update Stopped
• Start Update Pending
• Stop Update Pending
• Stop Update, Timestamp Pending
• * STOP RDF In Progress *
• * TMF STOP In Progress *
• * TAKEOVER In Progress *
• WRONG PROGRAM VERSION
• NSA Stop Update Pending
• Update NSA Stopped
