# View SRDF protected storage group pair properties

Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) facilitates the data replication from one storage system to another through a storage area network or Internet Protocol (IP) network.

## Steps

1. Select the storage system.
2. Click Data Protection to view the Protection dashboard and select SRDF from the Protection section of the summary panel.
3. Select a storage group and click to open the storage group list view.
4. Click the number next to SRDF pairs to open the SRDF pair list view.
5. Select a pair and click to open the SRDF pair list properties panel.

   A graphic displaying the replication configuration is displayed. It shows the following items:

   - Containers representing the R1 and R2 volumes. The color of the container indicates the status of the container:
     - Read write enabled
     - Write disabled
     - Connectivity lost
   - An arrow indicating the direction of I/O
   - A central icon and label indicating the state of the replication pair.
     - Synchronized, Consistent, ActiveActive, ActiveBias
     - Synchronization in progress
     - Suspended, Split, Failed Over
     - Unknown
     - Partitioned, Transmit Idle
