Syntax for using Open Replicator for Sym

Question

We have purchased Open Replicator for Symmetrix. I've added the lic. key and such.

I need to migrate data from one sym to another (Testing right now with a single lun). I'm creating the txt file as described in the documentation, but I am getting a few different errors.

1. When I put the full SymID and WWN I get this error.

The same Symmetrix ID cannot be used in the source and target devices

Here is the content of my txt file.

symdev=000190103762:061 wwn=60060480000190103762533030303631 symdev=000187430985:0ca wwn=6006048000018743098553594D303441

Please note this is all on one line, seperated only with a space.

061 is a hyper and 0ca is a 2 member meta.

If anyone has a file I could look at to compare with, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Is it possible to do it like this, or is it not recommended?

anilinlondon,I use Open Rep for dozens of migrations and your format is what I always use. Note, however, that a dmx, whether control or remote device, must be discovered by symcli before you can use the 'symdev=' format. If both symmids do not appear in 'symcfg list', then you'll have to use the 'wwn=' format for the sym that's not visible to symcli.
