Quickest way to find Initiators not logged into any FA and delete them
I'm having issues with the amount of configuration noise on some of our 20 and 40K's. I'm looking for a way to list all logins, parse out "Not logged in" (to any FA) and delete those inits safely. Currently, I'm looking at each FA, doing nodefind on the fabric, etc. It's clumsy. Thoughts? IDK if it's Unisphere or CLI but appreciate the help.

Easiest way if you have Unisphere for VMAX is choose your Symmetrix and navigate to Hosts > Initiators. Sort by the 'logged in' column.
If you don't see what you expect, you may need to hit the "Refresh Symm's" button on the upper-right-hand corner of the screen.
Hope this helps.

I see this and used it but it does not necessarily tell me if it's not logged into ALL FA's that it's mapped to. For example, I can find 6 instances of a WWN not logged in, then much further down the sort list, 2 instances where it was logged in. I guess I can still clean these up. I'm really looking for a methodical way (or script) to locate WWN's with no active login on any FA.

I would grep for ''NO NO' and then proceed.
ex: symaccess -sid xxx list logins|grep 'No No'
