Are you referring to the management for it?  Typically EMC will setup (or partners) a SMC server to manage the symmetrix.  There is also a Service Processor which normally is setup for EMC engineers only but sometimes they enable SMC on the Service Processor as well.

Hi,

In most of the cases SYMM's Service Processor will be connected to your ESRS GW which normally should stay in DMZ area.So there is definitely an IP in your SYMM's service processor to login and dial out through ESRS GW.But you cant ping it from inside Network as ping is normally disabled to the Service Processor.But you can check with the below commands if you are lucky--

root@chslyp10-/usr/symcli/bin> symcfg -sid 3889 -connection list

unless SP is dual homed, this is not the IP address that gets assigned for ESRS connectivity. On my VMAX ip listed is 0.0.0.1 even though SP has a public IP address on my network.

NOTE: The IP address and Subnet Mask provided by the customer cannot be in the 192.168.176.XXX or 192.168.177.XXX range.  This will conflict with the internal IP network of the Symmetrix
