can I view an rdf group

I'm attempting to determine how my rdf groups were defined. I see they can be created via
symcfg addgrp -rdfg n (of course there are directors in here)
There is also a modifygrp, and removegrp but no listgrp nor showgrp. I can figure what they must be by running symrdf -v -sid -rdfg n and keep incrementing n but is there a direct way to do it?
I'm running symcli 6.4.3 and microcode 5671 if it matters.

    symcfg -sid xxx -rdfg all list

    This command should give you an output similar to:

    I guess that is my point, you can get info about devices but nothing really says director a on symm x is connected to director b on symm y, although that mapping must exist somewhere.

    Ok, one other command for you which I think will show what you're looking for:

    symcfg -sid XXX -ra all list

    You can also use " symrdf -sid **** list " This would give you all the devices involved in the RDF groups ( or pairs ) of a Symm. However this would not give you any info if there are RDF connections b/w two Symm but no pairs defined b/w them.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks guys, the hints got me looking around some more. I have a symm that will be doing srdf to 2 other symms. It is configured to do so but due to some internal documentation errors I was confused about what ra locally was connected to what ra remotly so.
    symcfg -v -sid xxx -ra all list
    will give you the mapping but the remote ra is given as director number, which I had never seen before. However using
    symcfg -sdi xxx -dir all list
    shows the relation to the more familar
    RE-xx and the numeric value like 55.

    Bruce if you received good answers, don't forget to mark best/better ones with appropriate "Correct"/"Helpful" flag thus helping other in finding what solved your issues (and hopefully their too).

    It turns out what I was looking for is
    symcfg -sid xxx -v -ra all
    This spells out the rdfg, the symm, the ra even the ip address.
    Thanks everyone.
