Options

• If Symmetrix ID (-sid)is not specified at the start of the session, the log file is written to local disk using the default SYMAPI log directory. This is not restartable from another node.
• If a user log file name (-log LogFilename) is specified when a session is started, the -log option must be specified for all other commands in the session sequence.
• If only the group name (-g , -cg) is specified when a session is started:
  • The log file is given the same name as the group,
  • Specify only the -g or -cg option for all other commands in the session sequence.
