question about symmask command by using the replace action

Hi team

I have a question about symmask

I replaced and HBA due to i got a HBA failure:

I run the followings commands:

symmask list logins
symmask list hba
symmask ¿sid 3875 ¿wwn 2100001b32151f47 replace 2100001b328364f4
symmask discover hba -rename
./symmask -sid 3875 refresh
symmask -sid 3875 delete -wwn 2100001b32151f47 -dir all

My server is working good, but I got this output by running

symmaskdb -sid 3875 -dir 8a -p 1 list database

Director Identification : FA-8A
Director Port : 1

User-generated
Identifier Type Node Name Port Name Devices
---------------- ----- --------------------------------- ---------
2100001b32151f47 Fibre 2100001b32151f47 2100001b32151f47 071D 0745

is it correct to have the new wwn as identifier and the old wwn as node and port name?

Best regards

    i would expect 1f47 to be replaced with 64f4 in vcmdb. Can you run

    symmaskdb -sid 3855 list devs -wwn 2100001b32151f47

    does it come back with anything ?

    Hi,

    Did you edit the zone?
    Also, I would do like this

    # symmask -sid xxx -wwn 2100001b32151f47 -dir 8a -p 1 remove devs 81c,21A,
    #symmask -sid xxx-wwn 2100001b328364f4 -dir 8a -p 1 add devs 81C,21A
    #symmask -sid xxx refresh
    #symmaskdb -sid xxx -wwn 2100001b328364f4 list database

    If run this command I got this output


    # ./symmask -sid 3875 rename 2100001b32151f47 2100001b328364f4/2100001b328364f4

    Invalid number of keywords.


    For this command let me tell you that is a Windows server.

    symmask -sid 3875 -wwn 2100001b328364f4 rename SolarisBox/hba1

    I'll appreciate your help on this

    Best regards

    can you try this:

    symmask -sid 3875 -wwn 2100001b32151f47 rename 2100001b328364f4/2100001b328364f4

    if it does not take that long WWN you can give it a meaningful name instead of a WWN:

    symmask -sid 3875 -wwn 2100001b328364f4 rename SolarisBox/hba1

    pretty much the same thing you get when you run symmask discover hba -rename on the host itself ..but doing it this way you can rename it from your management host.

    it's inconsistent with current config. You remember it now ..but if you look at it 6 months from now ..you are going to scratch you head and go "what ?!?!?" :D
