RDF System Management Manual for H-Series RVUs (RDF 1.8)

affected updater processes restart, the databases are probably still synchronized with one another.
In that case, the asterisks are cleared from subsequent STATUS RDF displays.
For more information on critical errors, you can scan the EMS collectors on the primary and
backup systems:
• The EMS collector on the primary system contains log messages for the extractor and monitor
processes.
• The EMS collector on the backup system contains log messages for the receiver, purger, and
all updater processes.
Special Messages
If you issue the STATUS RDF command while an RDF TAKEOVER operation is in progress,
RDF displays the current state as “TAKEOVER IN PROGRESS.”
If you issue the STATUS RDF command after an RDF TAKEOVER operation has completed,
RDFCOM displays this message instead of the usual status display:
STATUS RDF (\RDF04 -> \RDF06) is NOT running
An RDF TAKEOVER has completed
Safe MAT position is SNO 1, RBA 87876660
MAT position for File Recovery: SNO 1, RBA 87876740
Examples
To display current RDF configuration information and operational statistics once, enter this
command:
]STATUS RDF
To display that information 10 times, once every minute, enter:
]STATUS RDF, PERIOD 60, COUNT 10
To display current information and statistics for all configured extractor processes once, enter
this command:
]STATUS EXTRACTOR
To display current information and statistics for only those processes (the extractors or any
updater) that have fallen behind the configured RTD threshold (rtd-time), enter this command:
]STATUS RTDWARNING
STOP LOCKSTEP
The STOP LOCKSTEP command stops any extractors that might still be running on the standby
node. When the command has finished, you can then reissue the LOCKSTEP command.
STOP LOCKSTEP control-subvol, REMOTESYS standby-node
control-subvol
specifies the name of the RDF control subvolume on the backup system where the LOCKSTEP
command was issued.
standby-node
specifies the name of the standby system where the audit-trail mirror has been brought online.
Where Issued
Backup system only.
Security Restrictions
You can issue the STOP LOCKSTEP command only if you are a member of the super-user group.
