Looking for the right syntax of adding new DIRs to an existing RA group
I need the following:
I have an RA group "2" which resides on DIRs 4D, 7D, 10D and 13D. I need to move the RA group to 8D and 9D.
I'd like to add DIRs 8D and 9D first, so RA 2 is now on 6 DIRs and after that I'd like to remove the 4D, 7D, 10D and 13D from that RA 2.
The SRDF course book doesn't help much and the lab guide only a bit. I can't fool around too much, since both DMXs are in production and an error from my side simply may not result in downtime whatsoever.
So I'm looking for 2 commands:
1) add 2 new DIRs to existing RA group #2
2) remove the 4 old DIRs from RA group #2
I've found this:
symrdf addgrp -label srdfa_2 -rdfg 2 -sid -dir 8D,9D -remote_sid -remote_dir 8D,9D -remote_rdfg 2
but I can't see whether this creates a new group or only adds new DIRs to the group.

the zoning and symrdf changes.
I'll let you know when it's all working.
Are you planning to move group 2 to new processors only on one side or are you going to change also the other side of the link ??
Please remember that "symrdf modifygrp" will fail if the environment is in an incorrect state, preserving your replica .. But giving symrdf the right environment BEFORE running the command may help in avoiding PITAs

Tomorrow we will send the data accross the same eth link (FCIP) and in a month or so we will separate the 2 data streams.

What do you mean by incorrect state ? Replication is suspended at the moment if that's what you mean, or do you mean that zoning must be in place before we start messing around with the symrdf commands ? We will do the zoning first

I'll close this topic, however I'm not able to tell you yet whether your solutions worked.
