Mapping the symmetrix devices to FA

sorry, don't have any scripts to share with you but have you looked at using "starting target= and lun=" options with symconfigure, you could also mask at the same.

Bhat,

I can help you with this as I have extensive toolset to help do migration planning between DMX using dynamic SRDF. contact me at alok.jain@interscapetech.com if you need help.

I found a helpful page on the web:

Hi, here is the script template I always use for mapping. Of course you may have to change some parameters so match your environment. Please take the time to understand them properly before hitting Enter. Provided as an exemple only...

The script is located on the root of the D:\ drive of the server where Solution Enabler is installed. It is executed in the Solution Enabler shell with the command:

symconfigure -sid 1141 -f d:\map.txt commit

The map.txt file contains lines like these:

map dev 14C to dir 1d:0,target=0,lun=3A;
map dev 14C to dir 16d:0,target=0,lun=3A;

map dev 14D to dir 1d:0,target=0,lun=3B;
map dev 14D to dir 16d:0,target=0,lun=3B;

For masking, I simply run batch files on the server where Solution Enabler is installed. Batch files contain:

symmask -sid 1141 -wwn 210000e08b84b2bc -dir 01d -p 0 add devs 14C,14D
symmask -sid 1141 -wwn 210000e08b8425bc -dir 16d -p 0 add devs 14C,14D
symmask -sid 1141 refresh

Hope it helps

Thanks Nicoroy123 , I Have all this stuff, but it is an uphill task to get the details for device list n all, so was thinking if some is using some sort of cheat sheet.
Thanks anyways, really appreciate the time from your side.

Please write a simple ksh script. along with the devices..as map.txt.in a seperate file and also the host names with FA numbers which you want to map & mask. if you can give the email id here will send you the whole script which might be helpful to you.



good luck.
