Creating a Configuration Command File
You can issue ADD VOLUME commands only when RDF is stopped.
You must configure all updaters to use secondary image trails, thereby leaving the
RDFVOLUME (master image trail) exclusively for use by the master receiver (at index
0).
Creating a Configuration Command File
You can use the INFO * command with the OBEYFORM parameter to create a
configuration command file quickly and easily from an existing RDF configuration:
1. Redirect the output of the RDFCOM session from your terminal to the configuration
command file by issuing an appropriate OUT command. For example, to direct
subsequent session output to the configuration command file named RDF.INIT,
enter the following command:
]OUT RDF.INIT
2. Issue an INFO * command with the OBEYFORM parameter:
]INFO *,OBEYFORM
RDFCOM lists the current parameters in the RDF configuration file to RDF.INIT in
OBEY command file format.
3. Issue another OUT command to redirect subsequent session output back to your
terminal:
]OUT
For further information about configuration command files, see the example file in
Appendix B.
Configuration File Compatability
Before running certain commands, RDFCOM compares its own version against the
version of the RDF configuration file to ensure that the configuration file is compatible
with the current version of the RDF software. If RDFCOM detects a difference, it prints
the following message to the home terminal and aborts the command:
If that happens, you should make sure you are using the correct RDFCOM. If you are
using the correct version and you get this message, then you must reinitialize RDF.
RDFCOM version (version1) does not match the config file
version (version2)
