A Copy session has not been created for the specified device(s)
I did a query on the file
H:\>symclone -sid 65 -f "H:\Useful Docs\Symmetrix\symcli files\Clone pair.txt" query
The Source device and the Target device do not form a Copy session
Device file 'H:\Useful Docs\Symmetrix\symcli files\Clone pair.txt' does not have any devices that are Clone source devices
Here is the show dev

Solution Enable on ESX and VM are different.

Maybe the session is TF/Mirror Emulation (symmir) and not TF/Clone (symclone)? Issue "symclone list" and "symmir list" and see if either of those show the session.

You are right. Session is under symmir list.
And when i do symmir -g DG split i am getting below error
The SYMAPI database file is already locked by another process
I checked there is no locks on the devices.

yes, knowledgebase - it's available at support.emc.com.
the discover is also likely hanging due to the lock on the SYMAPI database file. the discover tries to update the database, but will fail due to another process already having a lock on it.

The devices are not locked. As the error message states, there is a lock on the SYMAPI database. This is usually a result of a process not exiting cleanly and leaving a semaphore lock on the database. Run a search on the error message in the knowledgebase and you'll see multiple solutions for working around this or correcting it.

That would be expected. The SYMCLI_WAIT_ON_DB variable tells the command to keep running, waiting for the other process to release the lock before executing and taking the lock itself. Given that the process that left the lock on the DB file is probably something that exited abmormally, the lock is not going to get released unless it is done manually.
Take a look at KB article 13263 (support.emc.com/kb/13263). It shows you how you can tell what process is holding the lock/handle on the database file so you can try to see if it's a process that can be terminated.

I tried using SYMCLI_WAIT_ON_DB=1 its still not working. It's hanging there from long time.

Do you have a TF/Mirror license? Depending on the version of SE/microcode the license would either be on the :
host (under 5875 code) - to check these licenses run symlmf list -type se
array (5875+) - to check these licenses run symlmf list -type emclm -sid 75

Is this on a DMX? On a DMX, the Timefinder licence needs to be applied via symlmf to each Solutions Enabler instance where the symmir commands will run.
