Go to SolutionRemoving a device from storage group
Hi,
in the process of removing a device from storage group, I have applied the command as follow below:
symaccess -sid 37 -type storage -name FRDGRHD38_PRA_A01_A02_shared_SG remove devs 0114 -unmap
I then had an output screen with this message: "Symmetrix access control denied request"
Can you please assist or let me know if I did wrong somewhere?

If you have SYMACLs enabled and dont have the host in a group with Masking access, you will not be able to issue any symaccess or symmask commands. ACLs for masking are all or nothing, they arent applied for sg, view etc. It will either allow you to perform any and all masking operations or none. I would make sure you host has that permission.
Check the SYMAPI log to see if there is a more detailed error.
Hi Guys,
As promised, I processed to check as you requested and I found that the host
where I was running the commands from didn't have any permission to the device I was working on.
I applied the command from a different host that did have and that worked
Thanks for your assistance

That's a SYMACL (access controls) error. Make sure your host has permissions to the devices you're working on.
Some commands that may help:
symacl -sid 37 list -acl (lists the ACLs with their pools and types)
symacl -sid 37 list
symacl -sid 37 list -v
symacl -sid 37 list -accpool
symacl -sid 37 list -accgroup
If you have a specific group or pool you want to see, run these commands:
symacl -sid 37 show accgroup
symacl -sid 37 show accpool
The EMC Solutions Enabler Symmetrix Array Management CLI Product Guide has a chapter on SYMACL, called "Host-Based Access Control" if you need it. You should be able to search for it on the support site and download the document for your SE version.
Hope this helps.
