2.Create an RDF1 type device group. For example, the group name AsynDG.

On R1 side:

#symdg create AsynDG -type RDF1

On R2 side:

#symdg create AsynDG -type RDF2

3.All devices from the RDF (RA) group configuration are added to the device group for SRDF/Asynchronous operation. For example, if the RDF group displayed in the symrdf list display is group number 5, then all devices in this RDF group must be managed together within one device group for SRDF/Asynchronous operation.

#symld -g AsynDG addall -rdfg 5

4.Repeat the steps 1-3 on each host that need to run Serviceguard packages.

5.Query the device group to display the R1-to-R2 setup and the state of the SRDF/Asynchronous device pairs.

#symld -g AsynDG query -rdfa

6.Set the device group to Asynchronous mode:

#symrdf -g AsynDG set mode async

7.Consistency protection must be enabled to ensure the data consistency on R2 side for the SRDF/Asynchronous devices in the device group.

#symrdf -g AsynDG enable

8.If the SRDF pairs are not in a Consistent state at this point, initiate an establish command to synchronize the data on the R2 side from the R1 side. The device state will be SyncInProg until the Consistent status is reached.

#symrdf -g AsynDG establish
