FA port available addresses difference

Cable,

Not sure if this will help...but if Run SYMCLI command "symcfg list -FA ALL" you will get a list of all the FA ports connected to the directors.

Perhaps this will help figure out where it is not syncing up?

Hope this helps.

don't grep and look at the output. Remember that CPU can handel a total of 4096 devices (port 0 and port 1)

Got the answer from EMC

When running the available addresses command with the -p option, solutions Enabler only looks at the mappings on this port without cross-referencing the devices mapped to the other port on the FA, so the display is only accurate from that port's point of view.

In theory it is possible to map all 4096 addresses on a single port, there-by not allowing you to map devices to the other port of the FA since the overall limit for the FA processor is 4096.

Additionally, if the same device is mapped to both ports of the same FA, it should count as 1 single mapped device, But if using the -p option, it can lead to inaccurate results since the output does not cross reference the mapping of the other port

We always request/recommend our customers to use the available addresses command without the -p option to get an accurate handle on available addresses and mapped devices. KB 69414 has also mentioned this.
