Unable to make configuration changes; data device creation failed; Error Msg :: 0x40002515: RDF group 00 is assigned to a director. Static RDF group assignments to directors is not supported.
Good Day Every one!
Guys, I am doing some labs to learn VMAX and stuck up at the initial state of creating the data devices. I request the members to help me to go forward.
Below is what I am trying to do.
create data dev.txt
create dev count=8 size=55242 config=Raid-5 disk_group=2 emulation=fba data_member_count=3 attribute=datadev;
C:\Users\Administrator\Naveen>symconfigure -sid 53 -f "create data dev.txt" -nop preview -v

Is it mandatory to have the Gate Keeper devices to perform any config changes?

Firstly, welcome to the forums, and above all, thank you for being an EMC customer.
Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.
You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for and select: "Symmetrix Support Forum".

Naveen, there should be no need to define gatekeepers the storapid daemon process maintains a list of gatekeepers visible to the server automatically. The error you are receiving doesn't sound like you're being restricted because of GKs.
Sounds like a config issue in the array at the moment. Is this a lab box?, you may want to have the bin file checked, seems like something is not quite right with the RDF configuration. Need to get someone to dial in and have a look to see what's going on.

Thank you Paul As this is a EMC lab box, I have posted the lab admins too, to have look on the issue.
But the storapid log is continuously being updated with the gatekeeper errors below
Also could you please spare a few minute to clarify me on the below concern
when i am trying to check the wwn of the local host, it is showing me the name instead of the wwn number. would this be a rename ? if yes, how could i know the real wwn number?

Guys, I believe something is wrong with the directors, the issue is occurring in case of device creation (both data dev,tdev and bcv+tdev) and mapping. Could you please check and help letting me know if any flags to be set for the directors so that it allows to perform the below operations. Thanks in advance

Naveen,
you are getting an error "SID 000195901053: 0x40002515: RDF group 00 is assigned to a director. Static RDF group assignments to directors is not supported."
If you can run
symcfg list -dir all -sid 1053
symrdf list -rdfg all -sid 1053
might give me a clue as to what is going on, to me there is a config issue in the array right now, but I'd need a grab or EMC reports to check. If this is causing you an issue, please open an SR with support we'd be happy to look at this in detail.

Hi Paul,
Here is the output for the symcfg and symrdf commands. As this is lab equipment, I am not able to create the SR.

mmm.. Ok, the config changes are complaining about RDFG 0 which is the only one you have configured. Your RDFG is of type static according to the output. Based on the director numbering here I'm assuming you are using VMAX10K. According to the SRDF guide Static SRDF groups are only supported in SRDF for VMAX 40K, VMAX 20K/VMAX,
DMX solutions. So Static SRDF groups are not supported for your config.
So I guess the restriction you have run into is based on this incompatibility. To correct I would suggest your CE assist with loading a new VALID binfile,
You may be able to create a new RDFG which will be dynamic and do a movepair operation, to the new group in this instance you could then try to delete group 0 yourself which should result in a valid bin. -- If this doesn't work your CE will definitely need to intervene here.
Not sure how you could have got to this state, perhaps restrictions changed since initial bin file was loaded and now Software checks prevent the change. Would need an SR for this.
Hope this help.

Thanks Paul. I appreciate your help and time to explain me. My lab session got completed and I wasn't able to further. Thanks again
