Solved!
Go to SolutionRPM & SCSI
I want to select dev from disk which have capacity 146 and RPM 15K. Command symdev -sid xxx show xxxx will give you the disk capacity how abt RPM?
I also want to check the SCSI bit on the range of dev.
what currents I do on dos
for %d in (123,122) do symdev -sid xxx show %d|find /i "SCSI"
this is very time consuming if you have 40-50 devs

Do you have access to SMC? I have noticed that the most recent version of SMC actually reports on disk speed in the GUI (I'm running v7). I'm not sure when this was introduced, but I'm sure the last version v6.x) didn't do this.
If you don't have SMC, I'm not sure how to get this short of a physical check of your array, and possibly asking for a report from your friendly EMC CE.Allen Ward

I guess that isn't going to work so well then. You should really look into SMC (as a side note). We have ControlCenter, SE, and SMC. At first we tried to do management of our Symms exclusively through ControlCenter. That was too slow, so we switched to command line (SE). Since we started using SMC, we use it most of the time now. The speed of SE with the ease (almost) of ControlCenter. The only thing we don't do in SMC is masking (ControlCenter) and some SRDF & TimeFinder configuration (easier for us on a Command Line).
Not trying to do a sales job or anything, but it really is worth checking out. Of course none of that answers your original questions right now. Hopefully someone else will have some insight into how to do this with SE.- symdev is usually targetted to "logical devices". You need a physical view. symdisk may better answer your question.
You can try guessing RPM from physical drive model.
Or simply ask your CE a list of existing Disk Groups and corresponding RPM speed/drive capacity. You can easily find needed devices filtering symdev "by disk group"symdev -sid xxx -disk_grouplist - Hi Hulk .. I don't have answers for your second question right now ... PER flag puzzles me every time I have to form a meta... I usually forget clearing PER on unused devices and when form new metavolumes I always receive complains from symconfigure since I have a mix of PER-enabled and PER-disabled devices... :-/
- i tried searching online for drive model, part number ..etc. I could not figure out disk speed. For example disk "FR300LP", i know it's 300G FUJITSU drive but what else ?
Vendor ID : FUJITSU

we don't have a license for SMC...
You dont need a license for SMC; if you have a Symemtrix its free, there are plug-ins that have costs associated but the base is free. You should be able to download the installer via powerlink.

AFAIK FR300LP (and FR146LP) are "low power" version (thus running at 10K).
But I don't have a comprehensive map of all drives available in DMX3/VMAX.
I guess the best option here is asking your CE and obtain a "map" of disk group and corresponding drive type (size/speed).
