Solved!
Go to Solutiongatekeeper error when run symcfg on linux server
./symcfg -sid 1234 list -v
The gatekeeper device (while using the Base Daemon) has an error (Please see the Log file)
It's DMX4 FRAME
Could you please share with me what could be the cause of the error, and how to fix it?
Thank you!
It seems to me I don't have any gatekeepers. Now does that mean I no longer have the access to gatekeepers? is this due to zoning issue, or provisioning issue? any commands I can use to list all gatekeepers from the frame? Thank you!

stordaemon action storapid –cmd show –gk_pdevs –sid xxx
stordaemon action storapid –cmd show -gk_stats –sid xxx
If you don's see any GKs, you'd better to config zoning, mapping, masking for the GKs in your array through another SE host. Refer KB https://support.emc.com/kb/74113
I got the following. What did that indicate?
# ./stordaemon action storapid -cmd show -gk_pdevs -sid 1234
storapid [ Operation not supported by daemon ]
# ./stordaemon action storapid -cmd show -gk_stats -sid 1234
storapid [ Operation not supported by daemon ]
don't worry about deamons ..if syminq does not show any symmetrix device you can't manage the array. You need to validate your zoning first, make sure you are at least zoned to an FA that has VCM device on it. Once that is done you will be able to create or provision at least 4 dedicated gatekeepers.
symdev list -sid 123 | grep -i vcm
or on windows
symdev list -sid 123 | findstr /I vcm
then run symdev show -sid 123 #VCM
and look for what FA it's mapped to. Now obviuosly you need to run these commands from a host that has connectivity to DMX4. Typically VCM is mapped to all FAs in the box unless somenone specificially unmapped them.
Gateways are regular (2-way mirror) devices that are 3 cylinder in size, you can create them yourself.
symconfigure -sid 123 -cmd "create dev count=1,size=3,emulation=FBA,config=2-Way-Mir,disk_group=0" commit
Hi there,
It seems nothing is easy here. I got nothing as the result of running the following command, although I can see lots of disks. this is a VMAX-1. What could I do next? Thanks!
symdev list -sid 123 | grep -i vcm
on the other Window server attaching to a DMX, I got the following:
>symdev list -sid 789 | findstr /I vcm

1) remove gatekeeper devices from host A
symaccess -sid 123 -name sg_name -type storage remove devs #,#,#,# -unmap
2) add gatekeepers to host B
symaccess -sid 123 -name sg_name -type storage add devs #,#,#,#
Once you discover devices in host B (should be visible in output of syminq), define them
symgate define pd
for example on a windows box you would run this command:
symgate define pd \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE8
