members can STOP RDF, START UPDATE, and STOP UPDATE.
RDF State Requirement
You can issue the INITIALIZE RDF command only when RDF is stopped and no files
exist in the RDF control subvolumes on either the primary and backup systems.
Usage Guidelines
If your RDF subsystem is running and you do not include the TIMESTAMP, INITTIME,
or SYNCHDBTIME options in the INITIALIZE RDF command, then you must stop,
delete, and reconfigure TMF before entering the INITIALIZE RDF command.
Before issuing the INITIALIZE RDF command within an existing RDF configuration,
you must first purge all files from the control subvolume on both the primary and
backup systems.
TMF must be started on the primary system, but transaction processing need not be
enabled, when you enter the INITIALIZE RDF command either with or without the
TIMESTAMP, INITTIME, or SYNCHDBTIME options.
The INITIALIZE RDF command creates the configuration and context files for
establishment of a new RDF configuration. After issuing the INITIALIZE RDF
command, you must build the new configuration by entering the appropriate SET and
