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

Setting Network Configuration Record Attributes
Use SET NETWORK and ADD NETWORK commands to configure the following network
configuration record 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 the following parameters:
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 the following 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 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).
