you could use -exact ..then they will be paired the way they are listed in DG. I suspect if you do not specify anything it will emulate -opt by default ?

I knew these 2, but I'm not sure whether or not you first need to establish each source device with a clone. I mean: suppose you have 4 source devices in your DG, how do you know which target (clone) is connected to each source dev ?

I was only wondering.... Now you mention it, it sure seems familiar what you're saying.... -opt by default sure sounds good...

Who knows for sure ?

But you don't need to establish first ? And after that the create and activate ?

get a dmx4-950 ..$ to euro ratio ..should be cheap

I want a Symm for myself to play around with

actually if you run establish it will do both ..create and activate in one step. It implies the -copy and -diff options.

i hear you, my wife complains about my hp workstation reVVing up and down..i can imagine what she would say if i brought a little 8830 home

Business wise I would say you're right, but just for me, at home ? An old Symm with a relatively recent Enginuity code on it.... ebay ? No.... even there, they're too expensive.

Tell me the truth, guys .. you do miss someone that have spare time to play with customer boxes .. don't you ??

Don't worry ..I'll be back soon with my boxes .. (ooops they aren't really mine .. but let's say we can use them safetly) ..

if your customers only knew what you were doing with their hardware

Thanks for your reply dynamox

What i wondering about is i didn't find the "-tgt" option anywhere in Solutions Enabler Docs.(Even in Command reference doc also)
My requirement for asking this question is i want to assign dedicated gatekeepers
for a device group.But i'm not aware how to create/activate a session for the complete DG with a single command.
I think i can proceed my activity of assigning dedicated gatekeepers to DG.

Is it right??

you will not have to pay heater bills

But still..... I'd love to have a Symm @ home to be able to play around and test several commands. I have no clue what the impact is on my energy bill, but I guess that if it's really bad, I can talk to my boss about it and place it @ work..... But first I need to get one

I'm not talking about a 128 disk machine (or 1000 or whatever).... just a small one with a minimum number of disks and a somewhat recent Enginuity would be enough. It's just for testing....
