What is the meaning of SA / RA /LNK status in the output of Symrdf commands
Hi...
When I run command "symrdf -list", I notice there is a column about "status" which there are 3 sub columns inside this column that is SA, RA and LNK. I would like to know what is the meaning and difference of each status.
Thank you in advance.

source device 23
target device 23
device type is R2 (target)
RDF Group 2
RW = read/write enabled SA
RW = read write enabled RA
NR = not ready on link
S = Synchronous mode
RW = read/write enabled local dev
RW = read/write enabled remote dev
Split = the rdf devices are currently in the split state no data is transmitting and both sides are available to hosts
sorry forgot there are 0 tracks owed on either side.

RA = Remote Adapter (RDF processors if you prefer)

And in support of their thought process, as far as most operating systems are concerned, an FA is just a fancy SA anyway. The same way most OSes think that SAN attached disk provided through an HBA and FC fabric is just locally attached SCSI disk.

One way to look at srdf is that you are creating an additional mirror to your source device it just happens that this mirror is in a different array. This additional mirror is independent and can be operated on by the user depending on its mode.
Normal SRDF operation
Source devices are set to read/write which gives the local host full device access
Target devices are set to write disabled to its local hosts (read only mode)
SRDF relationship SPLIT
Source devices are set to read/write which gives the local host full device access
target devices are set to read/write which gives the local host full device access
