Screenshot of only remote array

Ran syminq and verified arrays have gatekeepers configured.

Found that the array had both symacl and symauth enabled.

Cause

Symacl access permission issue

Resolution

See article Solutions Enabler: Symcli commands fail with error "Symmetrix access control denied the request" for resolution of symacl access permission issue.

Once symacl issue is resolved, we can discover local arrays on the Unisphere UI.
