RDF System Management Manual for J-series and H-series RVUs (RDF 1.10)

INFO NETWORK Command
To display the current RDF network configuration parameters, enter the following command:
]INFO NETWORK
RDF displays the following:
NETWORK PRIMARYSYSTEM \RDF04
NETWORK BACKUPSYSTEM \RDF06
NETWORK RCSV RDF04
NETWORK PNETTXVOLUME $DATA07
INITIALIZE RDF
The INITIALIZE RDF command creates the RDF configuration and context files for establishment of
a new RDF configuration.
NOTE: If you plan to initialize more than one RDF subsystem on your primary system, then you
must open each new control subvolume before you initialize and configure your new RDF
environment. This means that after you have initialized one RDF subsystem, you must enter an
OPEN command, specifying the next control subvolume. You can then enter the INITIALIZE
command. If a configuration file is not already in the specified control subvolume when the open
command is issued, RDFCOM issues a warning indicating that a configuration record was not
found. This is expected behavior.
There must be no files in the control subvolume on either the primary or backup systems when you
issue this command, otherwise the command will fail. If you are issuing the INITIALIZE RDF command
within an existing RDF configuration, you must first delete all the files from the RDF control subvolume
on both the primary and backup systems. Alternatively, you can use the "#" option at the end of
the command and it will purge all files in the control subvolume on the primary and backup system.

backup-system-name
specifies the backup system. The system name begins with a backslash (\) followed by 1 to 7
letters or digits; the first character following the backslash must be a letter. There is no default
system name.
suffix-character
is an alphanumeric character to be appended to the primary system name to form the RDF
control subvolume name. If you omit the SUFFIX parameter, the default control subvolume name
is the name of the primary system with no suffix character.
TIMESTAMP<day><mon><year><hour>:<min>
causes RDF to initialize at the specified time, which must correspond exactly to the time of a
TMF shutdown.
NOTE: There is no space between day, month, and year. The seconds must not be included
in the timestamp.
day
is a number from 1 to 31.
month
is the first three letters of the month, such as JAN, FEB, MAR.
year
is a four-digit number greater than 1996.
