Problem adding an additional device as a clone device to a group
hi,
I have an R1, R2 and a Clone hanging off the R2.
This deviceGroup currently exists and I wish to add a device to it.
Once I had successfully got the RDF group re-configured with new disks and set to consistent state, i started to work on the remote clone as detailed below..
symclone -file filename -sid xxx create -precopy -differential
Where filename is in format, correct
#New R2 Device New Clone Device
xxx xxx
Once copied 100% you can add the device to the file and do the recreate on the whole group.
symclone -g test1 query
Device Group (DG) Name: test1
DG's Type : RDF2
DG's Symmetrix ID : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Source Device Target Device State Copy

symld -sid xxxx -g test1 add dev 0576 CLONE002
Cannot add the device to the device group because it is a BCV device

1) version of S.E. in use
2) configuration of the device (0576)
I strongly suggest to upgrade to S.E. 6.4 since it introduces the new "clone target" type of device. You can now add devices and decide (when you add them) their role in the clone sessions.. You can add "standard" devices (symld add dev) or specify that the devices will be "clone target" devices (symld add dev -tgt).
