Setting a Director Status
Hi,
I have tried to run a symconfigure command (listed below) and get the following error message about Director Status:
# symconfigure -sid 113 -f 1.113.SPC2_ENABLE prepare
Execute a symconfigure operation for symmetrix '000290300113' (y/ ) ? y
A Configuration Change operation is in progress. Please wait...
Establishing a configuration change session...............Established.
Error occurred while Defining change number 1:
The operation cannot be completed; the port status is online
Terminating the configuration change session..............Done.
The configuration change session has failed.
There is nothing connected to this FA at the moment so I have no problem setting it offline.
PROBLEM: What is the command to set a Director offline?
Regards

Dynamox - Thanks that seems to have worked.
However when I double checked the Director Status it was still registering as online even though the command had worked to set it to offline. I ran a symcfg disco and still said "online".
It has allowed me to update the SPC2 flag though but just weird it never changed the status. I was testing this on a new development DMX but need to do it in production (against another unused set of FAs) and I am a bit nerved by the fact that there seemed to be no difference.colinwilson

No I can see that difference now:
WHEN in an "ONLINE" state it says:
[ON,ON,N/A,N/A]
WHEN in an "OFFLINE" state it says:
[ON,OFF,N/A,N/A]
What do these different settings relate to is something like the port number i.e. 0,1,2.3?
