Entering RDFCOM Commands

Command Overview
OPEN
The OPEN command identifies the RDF control subvolume to which subsequent
RDFCOM commands in this session apply.
On the primary and backup systems, the RDF configuration and context files are
stored in the RDF control subvolume on $SYSTEM. On the backup system, the image
trail files for each trail are stored in the RDF control subvolume on the associated
image trail volume.
control-subvol
is the name of the RDF control subvolume on both primary and backup systems.
The control subvolume name is comprised of the primary system name of the RDF
configuration (without the backslash) plus the optional character suffix if you
included one in the INITIALIZE RDF command.
Where Issued
Primary or backup system.
Security Restrictions
None; anyone can enter the OPEN command.
RDF State Requirement
Before you can enter the OPEN command, RDF must have been initialized.
Usage Guidelines
Issue an OPEN command to select the RDF control subvolume to which any
subsequent RDFCOM commands (except another OPEN command) will apply.
Using the OPEN command is the same as specifying a control subvolume in the
RDFCOM command that begins a session. For example, the following two command
sequences both accomplish the same thing—identifying DENVER3 as the RDF control
subvolume and then obtaining current status information for that system:
•
Sequence A:
>RDFCOM
]OPEN DENVER3
]STATUS RDF
