there is no symcli simulator but there are certain commands that can be run in "offline" mode. Search this forum ..i know there were a couple of threads on that.

Hello Ashwi,
Try this...
You can use Solutions Enabler locally on your machine to simulate symcli commands if you copy the symapi_db.bin file to your machine in the path below and set the following variables:
set SYMCLI_DB_FILE = C:\Program Files\EMC\SYMAPI\db\symapi_db.bin
set SYMCLI_OFFLINE=1
I also found a bunch of Forum threads on the "Offline Mode" subject, here is the link that I found the above info in:

you need to copy it from one of your active symcli configurations. This file gets created once you install SE and run "symcfg discover" on a host that's attached to a Symm.

Try this Solution, it shows you the location of the symapi file.
Does this help or answer your question?

Thats a good point Dynamox makes...run your symcfg discover command just before pulling your symapi_db.bin to insure you get the latest configuration on the array.

I am having issue using symcli at offline mode, the error msg shows that:
" the gatekeeper devices (while using the Base Daemon) has an error.."
i digged into the log file here is the actual error msg:
"iFindandOpenGate Failed to open pooled Gatekeeper: The specified array id is not known(xxxxxxxxxx)"
any idea?

Not every SYMCLI command is available in offline mode. The message you are getting is what is issues when the data is not in the symapi_db.bin and it's trying to get to the array. So the command you entered is not available in offline mode.

Hi Sam,
of course this tool is not a simulator. Sorry that i didn't mention it.
Of coursse you can perform a reasonable amount of commands but not all the symcli commands.
i mentioned that tool if it will hepl Ashwi.
