Usually Async session when you split the status is failed over.you souldn't worry much as both the R1 and R2 are RW . The status is shown as split in case of sync replication. You should be good with failed over status as your applications can run both on R1 and R2 ,   I directly copy paste the text from my screen.
All:  We have the following setup:     VMAX                 DMX              SRDF/A    R1s   ------------>   R2s   ->   GBCV  The SRDF/A runs continuously.  All of our R2 devices would be "Consistent".  When we do a D/R test we split the GBCVs and mount them on D/R servers at the D/R site and run our D/R test.  Then when the D/R is over, we unmount the GBCVs, synch the R2s -> GBCVs and we're back to normal (by the way is the BCV sync full or incremental?).  Now our managers want to test running the D/R test on the R2s.  So, I have mapped and masked the R2s to the D/R servers (HP-UX 11.23).  So, what will the steps be:  1.  Split the the R2s with symrdf -g rdfgXX split.  This should bring the R2s to "Ready" status.      o    Do I need to "suspend" the rdfgXX first?      o    I don't want changes to "back up" in cache and fill up my cache and cause problems on the source VMAX. 2.  Mount and run the D/R test on the R2s. 3.  Three days later, we unmount the R2s. 4.  Resync the R1s -> R2s.  symrdf -g rdfgXX est      o    Is this the right command?      o    Is this an incremental establish or a full establish.  I don't want to do a "failover" or a "failback" I want Production to continue to run on the R1s undisturbed.  Then I want to get back to normal as quickly and easily as I can with minimal impact to production and to the R2s (and GBCVs).       Stuart
How do I do a D/R test on my R2s (SRDF/A)?
