Consistency on the SRDF/A group is not disabled when new devices are added with movepair (-cons_exempt). The same applies when suspending a device. The ENABLE you have seen may just be there for safety. I just tested the movepair to an SRDF/A group that was enabled and it stayed. The new device inherited the consistency enabled state. With movepair, just do the MOVEPAIR from the temp group to the SRDF/A group and then RESUME. It does not need to be in SRDF/A mode before the movepair. This allows the temp group to contain any number of devices and you can move just a subset to your SRDF/A group.
Hi,  I would like to know if the consistency for an SRDF/A group is disabled if: 1. we move to our group a device pair from another rdf group 2. use suspend for one ore more device pairs in our group  Because is an SRDF/A group, -cons_exempt is used in both cases but I've seen examples where the last command is: "symrdf ....... enable " after we have added new volumes to the SRDF/A group and resume the link.  so it appears that after a move or a suspend operation we need to re-enable the consistency  Also regarding movepair: I would like to move a dev pair from a TEM rdf group to a SRDF/A group on TEMP rdf group,  I have adaptive copy mode for dev pair  Do I have to change mode to ASYNC before I use movepair or it doesn't matter, I can leave adaptive copy an the dev pair will inherit the ASYNC mode from the new rdf group ?  Thanks
