According to a quick google on "ARF" it could be:

Animal Rescue Foundation (www.arf.com)  
ASEAN Regional Forum (www.dfat.gov.au/arf)  
Animal Reinforcement Forum (www.scs.unt.edu/orca/)  
Advertising Research Foundation (www.thearf.org)

and about 951.000 other hits including presumably the one or other gazillion of societies, organizations, structures, ... , using the acronym "ARF".

PMS! (please more specifications ;-)) )

sorry !  
ARF is: 'application roll-over facility"  
ARF supervise the servers for mistake or failure, and overbalance the application on the running server.  
it's a supplementary module for Aix, like mirrorview

thank you

GIYF

type "application roll-over facility AIX" into your google and the first page to come up is "[www.bull.de/download/AIX/AIX52\_whitepaper.pdf](http://www.bull.de/download/AIX/AIX52_whitepaper.pdf)".

Following this link you get a PDF document, which you can search for "ARF" to find:

> [@](#):
>
> Application Roll-over Facility, a solution developed by Bull, permits system administrators to move an application and its environment from a system to another system easily, in order to manage system workload issues, for maintenance purposes or in the event of hardware failures. Application Roll-over Facility provides low cost and easy to install application availability for the entire Escala range.

Do you need instructions on how to read a PDF?
