Customer could use Symmetrix Management Console (SMC).
Enginuity 5875 enhances the customer options by adding the ability to perform a Health Check and a Disk Replacement. After launching SMC, the customer can right click on the Symmetrix, select Symmetrix Admin, then select Service.
When Perform Health Check is selected, SMC does not supply the same level of detail PSE lab sees when a Health Check is run remotely.

Hi Lavakumar,
Welcome to EMC Community
The symmetrix healthcheck ( to be run by customers) functionality was first introduced in SMC7.2.
It is still available in all Unisphere for VMAX editions so if you are running unisphere for VMAX 1,x
To run healthcheck: ArraySID > System > Health and Maintenance > Health Check then click Run in the bottom
If you found any errors like in my case here then please open a service request with support team to dial in the box and further check the issue.

there are no specific commands for HC however you can run these common ones for an overview .
symdisk -sid xxx list -failed
symevent -sid xxx list -error -start mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss -end mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
symcfg -sid xxx list -fa all
symcfg -sid xxx list -da all
symcfg -sid 1234 list -lockn all - lists all locks
symcfg -sid 1234 list -memory
Note : these commands only list the details , they do not perform any tests .
similarly you can check a lot more if these tasks aren't automated .
