Cannot discover remote arrays through rdf link.
Hello there,
I feel like i'm missing something here, we have 2 arrays, a DMX3-24 (Eng : 5773 / sid : 2803)and a 1000S-M2 (DMX1 ? : 5671 / sid : 1550).
I'm trying to setup a rdf link between these two arrays.
The second array is already ok since it has 2 functionnal rdf links with another array :
# symcfg -RA all -sid 1550 list
Remote Local Remote
Ident Symb Num Slot Type Attr SymmID RA Grp RA Grp Status
RF-4D 04D 52 4 RDF-R2 - 1167 1 (00) 1 (00) Online
- 0352 2 (01) 2 (01)
- 0352 10 (09) 10 (09)
RF-13D 13D 61 13 RDF-R2 - 1167 1 (00) 1 (00) Online
- 0352 2 (01) 2 (01)
- 0352 10 (09) 10 (09)
The first array (DMX3) was setup recently to have 2 RA's online.
# symcfg -RA all -sid 2803 list
Remote Local Remote
Ident Symb Num Slot Type Attr SymmID RA Grp RA Grp Status
RF-8D 08D 56 8 RDF-BI-DIR - - - - Online
RF-9D 09D 57 9 RDF-BI-DIR - - - - Online
The steps i followed :
1. cabling the fiber between array 2803 and the brocades
2. zoning (4d <> 9d / 13d <> 8d)
3. through ecc console, Discover connectivity
4. through hosts, symcfg discover
From host A :
# symcfg list
Mcode Cache Num Phys Num Symm
SymmID Attachment Model Version Size (MB) Devices Devices
2803 Local DMX3-24 5773 49152 2033 2302
From host B :
# symcfg list
Mcode Cache Num Phys Num Symm
SymmID Attachment Model Version Size (MB) Devices Devices
1550 Local 1000S-M2 5671 32768 1482 876
0352 Remote DMX3-6 5773 32768 0 667
I don't find any errors on symapi logs / storapid logs. Any ideas ?
Thanks for your help.

To create a group when there isnt a relationship you have to use the full serial number of the remote array with the leading zeros.
ADD SRDF GROUP
symrdf addgrp -label label -rdfg X -sid 1234 -dir 8d -remote_rdfg X -remote_sid 000123456789 -remote_dir 8d

so you zoned your RA ports but did you actualy create RDF group between the two arrays ?

Can You try symrdf ping -sid xxxx on both symms. Please post the O/p of both

You first need to create a RA group to be able to see the details.

The symrdf addgrp, though remote symmetrix in not known yet, worked.
I'm now able to see the remote symmetrix, from both sides.
Thank you

Hello,
Actually yes.
I didnt know we were able to create rdfg with unknown remote array.

# symrdf ping -sid 1550
The specified Symmetrix ID is unknown.
Same thing on the other side.
