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

NETWORKMASTER Attribute
This attribute, located in the RDF configuration record, specifies whether or not the particular system
is the master of the RDF network. Each RDF network has one, and only one, network master.
To set this attribute, use this RDFCOM command:
SET RDF NETWORKMASTER {ON | OFF}
When this attribute is set to OFF (the default value), the particular system is not the network master.
When this attribute is set to ON, the particular system is the network master of the RDF network.
If this attribute is set to ON, the NETWORK attribute must also be set to ON.
Network Configuration Record
This configuration record contains some or all of these network 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 these attributes:
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 these 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
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 Network Attribute
This is the name of a primary system. It is set by this RDFCOM command:
SET NETWORK PRIMARYSYSTEM system-name
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 Network Attribute
This is the name of the backup system associated with the specified primary system. It is set by this
RDFCOM command:
SET NETWORK BACKUPSYSTEM system-name
There is no default value.
