Configuring RDF
Updater Processes
Use SET VOLUME and ADD VOLUME commands to configure the following updater 
parameters:
•
ATINDEX
•
CPUS primary-CPU : backup-CPU
•
EXCLUDE
•
IMAGEVOLUME
•
INCLUDE
•
PRIORITY
•
PROCESS
•
UPDATEVOLUME
You must configure an updater process for each primary system volume to be 
protected by RDF.
The CPUS option value specifies the processors in the backup system in which the 
updater will run.
The IMAGEVOLUME option value associates this updater process with a specific 
image trail you have previously added to the RDF configuration. You cannot add this 
updater process, associating it to an image volume, unless you have already added 
the image trail with the ADD IMAGETRAIL command. Also, the ATINDEX of this 
updater must match the ATINDEX of the associated image trail.
The PRIORITY option value specifies the priority at which the updater will run. You 
should set the updater’s priority higher than that of any application’s process but less 
than the priority of the RDF receiver process.
The PROCESS option value supplies a name for the updater process. You should 
specify a meaningful mnemonic such as $UP01. The process name can be any unique 
valid process name up to 5 characters, including the $ symbol. However, you cannot 
specify HP reserved process names that are of the form $X*, $Y*, or $Z*, in which * 
is any alphanumeric string.
The UPDATEVOLUME option value specifies the name of the disk volume on the 
backup system that corresponds to a particular volume on the primary system. This 
parameter enables you to use different volume names on the backup system than are 
being used on the primary system, if you so desire.
