are you running this on the host where 00B0 is presented to ?

Yes I am running the commands from the server that the Gatekeepers were assigned to it is a Solaris server. I did have to rename the WWN for the HBA as it was not seen on the symmask list login command.

Would a reboot help this Solaris server?? I did run symcfg discover but still getting the same error. Just not sure why this server is not seeing the devices I have masked. Am I missing a step after masking the devices??

Thank you!!

what version of Solaris? What HBAs and drivers are you using ? If you are using Emulex cards with Emulex drivers ..did you configure sd.conf and lpfc.conf ?

Can you please post output of both "syminq" and "symcfg list" commands ??

Are you sure he is running Solaris ??

Can you verify that your gatekeeper device is actually masked to a host? It may be mapped to the FA but it needs to be masked to the host.

I got the same issue:

Devices mapped and masked to server. Server able to see the devices (on inq and ioscan's outputs), but got the same error again and again.

After issuing a symcfg discover, I was able to define devices as gk without problems.
