Command to find unused tdevs in vmax2 & vmax3

Hi There

I was looking for the right command to list all the unused tdevs  in vmax2 /3 which can be reclaimed

tdevs which are not part of any storage group .

i could find "symdev -sid list -tdev -noport -bound "  in some posts. Is this the right one or is there anything else  ??

Appreciate your quick response in this regard

Thanks

if device is not part of a storage group it's also not part of a masking which means it's not mapped. So this command would display them

symdev list -sid 1234 -noport

there are legitimate use cases where devices are part of storage group but not part of a masking view,  SRDF R2 for example. So you will need to look around your environment to determine what is considered reclaim-able and what is not.
