UNSOLVED
Error on Gatekeeper
Guys,
I am having problem running symcli commands from a Symcli server ( server where the Soln. Enabler is installed).
When I am trying to run any symcli command this is the error that is being displayed:
" The gatekeeper device (while using the Base Daemon) has an error (Please see the
Log file) "
I have checked the log file and It does'nt show any helpful information....Any ideas on this.
Thanks a lot for the help!!!

Have you tried re-running Symcfg Discover? That might help.634

Check out Primus Solution emc139533 for a good start into troubleshooting this error. It usually has something to do with the storapid deamon. You can try restarting this daemon and see if it clears up the error634

What the error message means is that it is not able to communicate with the symmetrix. even with out any gate keepers masked to the host you should be able to Run symcfg dis and if it gives the same error message it could be a issue with your zoning or cabling.
by zoning I mean zones between your symcli host and the Symmetrix.634

What does this command return?
/usr/symcli/bin/stordaemon action storapid -cmd show_gk_stats634

This thread is better hosted in Host Software/Solution Enabler area of our forums. Moving it at final location within a few seconds... Count down from 100 .. 99 .. 98 ..634

Summi, if there is an issue with the storapi daemon you should see a message in /var/symapi/log/sorapid.log0
These messages are usually kinda cryptic, I would say to kick off an EMC grab if you haven't done so already and open an SR with EMC support to look into the issue.634

I have observed that after moving to V6.5-872/storwatchd from V6.0-629 (1.0)
storapid/base daemon getting restarted more often. So any symcommands happens to run while storapid was getting restarted may end up failing.
Any one know of any fix for this?634

Hey guys,
I've been experiencing this issue on most HP-UX servers running Solution Enabler.
No matter what version I upgraded the SE, it would do the same errors you described.
The manual solution is running '/usr/symcli/bin/stordaemon shutdown all -immediate'
and running 'symcfg discover'.
The fix for this is actually, believe it or not, is upgrading the PowerPath.# powermt version EMC powermt for PowerPath (c) Version 5.1 HF 04 (build 1) # symcli Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI) Version V6.5.2.0 (Edit Level: 891) built with SYMAPI Version V6.5.2.0 (Edit Level: 891)
Works like a charm.

How many GK devices are presented to the host?
Any other EMC applications installed on the host that are using GKs, like ECC agents?
