Larry, I noticed no one has answered your question, so I contacted our EMC SRDF guru and this is his response. Hope this helps.
<quote> There is no 'Group Level' for specific volumes or using the VOL command per se - But there is an easy way to accomplish this operation. First, the direction is set in the stc EMCRDF in the DD RDFPARM DSN=HLQ.SRDF550.SAMPLIB(RDFCFG0) Right now you're set and limited to R1>R2. On a typical installation, you set “SYNCH_DIRECTION_ALLOWED=R1<>R2” You may read up on SYNCH_DIRECTION_INIT after this change. Default is none. Be sure to give the stc EMCRDF a bounce to pick up the configuration change. Then you can use the SC RDFGRP commands to control the direction of the RA Groups Example: >SC RDFGRP,08,0001,SYNCH_DIRECTION,R1>R2, Where "08" is the RA Group number "0001" is an MVS volume number - just about any will do, it's used as a gatekeeper. Use something that's on that box, preferably one that's not in another RA group. Once this is set, be sure to check the direction of your other RA groups as well. <end quote> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
