SymDevMaskAccessGet failed with code 195

Question

I am writing a program using symapi.h of version 'V7.1-1009' to get the VMAX disk array details like the number of logical devices, raid groups, pots information etc.. I am trying to get the HBA WWN information using the api SymDevMaskAccessGet.                               SymDevMaskAccessGet(m_Handle,                                                                         0,                                                             (LPSTR)(LPCSTR)m_szSymId,                                                             NULL,                                                             SYMAPI_MASK_IDENT_NA,                                                             NULL,                                                             SYMAPI_C_ALL,                                                             SYMAPI_C_ALL,                                                             0,                                                             NULL,                                                             SYMAPI_MASK_ACC_FLGS_NONE,                                                             SYMAPI_MASK_SRC_FROM_SYMMETRIX,                                                             NULL,                                                             &acc_db,                                                             NULL); But it is retuning an error code 195 as below: 195 [SYMAPI_C_FEATURE_NOT_AVAILABLE] (The requested feature is not supported for this microcode or SYMAPI version) Please reply me if I am doing wrong or any other alternative to this call.

I got the answer for my post. We need to use SymDevMaskViewGet insted of SymDevMaskAccessGet. This API is not supported for V-MAX.
