 In a SRDF/Metro deployment in a clustered host configuration, when the RDF link state is partitioned and the R1 side has full read/write capability to the application, the R2 device also has full read/write capability to the application. With SRDF/Metro, both R1 and R2 devices may then appear as a single virtual device across the two SRDF paired arrays for host presentation. With both the R1 and R2 devices being accessible, the host or hosts (in the case of a cluster) can read and write to both R1 and R2 devices with SRDF/Metro ensuring that each copy remains current, consistent, and addressing any write conflicts which may occur between the paired SRDF devices23. References: Dell EMC PowerMax and VMAX All Flash: SRDF/Metro Overview and Best Practices, Deploying Dell EMC SRDF/Metro Smart DR with Microsoft SQL Server for Physical and Virtual Environments

Unisphere for PowerMax and Solutions Enabler have different ways of managing user permissions. Unisphere has a more explicit authentication mechanism for users, where each user must have a username and password to log in to the Unisphere interface. Unisphere also supports role-based access control (RBAC), where each user can be assigned one or more roles that define their level of access to the storage system resources and operations. Unisphere maintains the user and role information in a symauth database, which can be shared with Solutions Enabler. Solutions Enabler, on the other hand, uses the operating system user credentials to authenticate users. Solutions Enabler does not require users to have a username and password to run commands, but it checks the symauth database to verify if the user has the appropriate role to perform the requested operation. Solutions Enabler also supports RBAC, where each user can be assigned up to four roles that define their level of access to the storage system resources and operations.

 The symrdf split command is used to suspend SRDF/A replication and make both R1 and R2 devices read/write enabled. This is useful for testing purposes or for creating point-in-time copies of data on both sides. The symrdf establish command can be used to resume SRDF/A replication after a split operation. The exhibit shows that both R1 and R2 devices are read/write enabled and have a Split status, which indicates that a symrdf split command was issued next2
