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

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 database951

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 regards951

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.951

No device masking database records could be found for the specified input parameters
and de the new one
# ./symmaskdb -sid 3875 list devs -wwn 2100001b328364f4

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 ?!?!?"951
