How to enable RA directors RDF bi-directional ?

Hello there,

How do you enable RA direcotors RDF bi-directional ?

My Source and Remote SRDF direcotors showing as  RDF-R1.

Thanks and Regards,

Siva

    Hi,

    Whe you say RA directors, you mean RF directors and RA groups (aka RDF group) right?

    Fibre Channel by default is full duplex and so inherently bi-directional.

    When you create an RDF group it will show up as 'bi-directional', but the state changes when create RDF pairs are done onto the RA group.

    When the devices are all R1 devices, the RDF state on the RA group will change to RDF-R1, or RDF-R2 if they were all R2. If there is a mix of R1 and R2, the RA group will show a state of bi-directional again.

    Regardless of the state of the RA group, it's always bi-directional with Fibre Channel protocol.
