Recommended values for the SRDFStar agent attributes

SyncSite

If the sync target site is down, set the SyncSite to "". Set the attribute to "" at the async site because no sync target site exists.

AsyncSite

If the async target site is down, you can set AsyncSite to "".

UseMostRecentData

If the most recent data is to be used at the time of VCS failover, set UseMostRecentData to 1. If UseMostRecentData is set to 1, then the SRDF agent ignores the values of the KeepDataFrom and KeepDataOn.

KeepDataOn

Set this attribute to SWITCH if UseMostRecentData is set to 0.

KeepDataFrom

Set this attribute to the name of the site whose data is to be used at the time of symstar switch and symstar connect. Set this attribute only if UseMostRecentData is set to 0.

OnlineOnState

Set this attribute to star_protected if the applications should be brought only if STAR is in protected state. The OnlineOnState attribute should be set to PROTECTED if the applications can be brought up even if STAR is not protected. This attribute is irrelevant at async site. This is because STAR cannot be enabled at async site.

ForceOnline

Set this attribute to 1 only if the target sites or STAR cannot attain the PROTECTED state. Otherwise, set this attribute to 0. If ForceOnline is set to 1, then the value of the OnlineOnState attribute is ignored by the agent. The ForceOnline attribute value is checked by the agent either at the time of VCS failover after switching the workload site or at the time of brining the SRDFStar resource online on the current workload site.

TripTakeover

Set this attribute to 1 only if the local site has to be converted to workload site and STAR is in the TRIPPED state. Otherwise, set this attribute to 0. Its value is checked by the SRDFStar agent before switching the workload site at the time of VCS failover.

HaltOnOffline

Set this attribute to 1 if the data from the current workload site has to be flushed to the target sites at the time of offlining the SRDFStar resource or at the time of VCS failover. Otherwise, it should be set to 0.

Set HaltOnOffline to 1 at the async site.
