Do you see the DGs on the DR site? Have you enabled the mirroring and enabled GNS daemon from option file?

Saurabh

restart the GNS daemon at both sites and check the storgnsd logs.

Hi Anoop,

Hi

Running the Prod Device group query from DR management server will work only when GNS deamon is running and DR management host is local to any of the symmetrix boxes,which are  locally accessed by Prod management host.. I believe.. Correct me If I am wrong..  Thank you.

HI Chandu,

In case of RDF DGs and mirroring is enabled on RDF1 site. GNS daemons mirrors the RDF1 DGs to R2 site as RDF2 type DGs. The condition is the local Symm on R1 site should be visible as Remote on the R2.
