Sun Cluster System Administration Guide for Solaris OS

Example: Configuring an SRDF Replication Group for Sun Cluster

This example completes the Sun Cluster specific steps necessary to set up SRDF replication in your cluster. The example assumes that you have already performed the following tasks:

This example involves a four-node cluster where two nodes are connected to one symmetrix and the other two nodes are connected to the second symmetrix. The SRDF device group is called dg1.


Example 5–15 Creating Replica Pairs

Run the following command on all nodes.


# symcfg discover
! This operation might take up to a few minutes.
# symdev list pd

Symmetrix ID: 000187990182
