symcli command to list write disabled devices

Question

Hi experts,
I´ve got the following error from symevent command in a DMX2000:

Detection time Dir Src Category Severity Error Num
------------------------ ------ ---- ------------ ------------ ----------
Mon Mar 09 05:29:20 2009 DF-2A Symm Disk Error 0x0078
A Symmetrix device has a member or a mirror that is Write Disabled

I remember someone asked me to look for an specific device that it was in a write disabled status.

Does somebody know a symcli command to list all write disabled devices from a specific disk adapter and/or mapped to a specific director port front-end?.

Best regards.

what about 'symdev list -sid 123', there is a Sts column showing device status ? You could use grep or perl equivalent to get the disk/FA you are interested in ?

just to extend Dynamox posting. In Windows you can use "find" which is equivalent of grep:
C:\>symdev -sid 16 list | find "WD"
0000 \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE19 06A:0 01D:D4 2-Way Mir N/Grp'd VCM WD 45
01DC Not Visible ???:? 15B:D2 RDF2+Mir N/Grp'd WD 3
01DD Not Visible ???:? 16C:D2 RDF2+Mir N/Grp'd WD 3

Hi dynamox, thank´s a lot for your reply. I already know that command and i know it´s a good stuff using grep in unix host, but the problem is that the custom gave me access only to a windows server with solution enabler installed, so now i think that the real question is, is there any symcli command to perform this action in only one line with optional parameters?
