VMAX create new device copying existing device

Hey guys,

Does anyone have a command example of this?

How to copy an existing device in Vmax 5875

Solutions enabler document says:

You can configure available disk space into a set of new devices by copying the

attributes of an existing device.

To configure available disk space, use the following form:

 

Configuring a device by copying a similar device:

     configure [ [MB | GB] | devices]
          copying dev
          [mapping to dir :
          [masking hba [awwn= | wwn= |
                        iscsi= |
                        aiscsi= ]
                        [host_lun= |
                         dynamic_lun]]]
          [overriding
                   [size= [MB | GB | CYL]]
                   [emulation= ]
                   [config= ]
                   [data_member_count= ]
                   [mvs_ssid= ]
                   [disk_group= | name: ]];

Has anyone tried this or has a working example?

I run symconfigure -sid xxxx -f copy.txt

Complains about syntax error in the file

Thanks

Example:

symconfigure -sid 33 -cmd "CONFIGURE 1 DEVICES COPYING DEV 49D7 OVERRIDING CONFIG=vdev;" preview -nop -v

symconfigure -sid 33-cmd "CONFIGURE 1 DEVICES COPYING DEV 49D7 OVERRIDING CONFIG=vdev;" commit -nop –v
