NETWORKMASTER Attribute
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 the following 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. Note that 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 the following 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 the following attributes:
If you are configuring a non network master RDF subsystem, you must include a single
network configuration record containing the following attributes:
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 system-name Name of the primary system.
BACKUPSYSTEM system-name Name of the associated backup system.
REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL
subvolume-name
Name of the primary system’s remote control
subvolume.
PNETTXVOLUME volume-name Name of the primary system volume on which
the RDF subsystem stores an audited network
synchronization file.
PRIMARYSYSTEM system-name Name of the network master’s primary system.
BACKUPSYSTEM system-name Name of the network master’s backup system.
REMOTECONTROLSUBVOL
subvolume-name
Name of the network master’s remote control
subvolume.
