PPME_OR error(7143)

Hi, all,
I'm using PowerPath Migration Enabler (PPME) with Open Replicator to perform online migrations on Solaris hosts. I have 14 pairs to migrate, from 3 DMX arrays down to 1 DMX4. The "powermig setup" command completed fine for the first 13 pairs but failed with the following message for the last pair.

root@hostname # /etc/emc/bin/powermig setup -tt OR -source emcpower9c -target emcpower19c -noprompt

PPME_OR error(7143): The gatekeeper device (while using the Base Daemon) has an error (Please see the Log file)

I've tried giving the host 8 GK's on the new array and it still didn't work. This attempt DID work on another Solaris host that encountered the same error, however.

Any ideas?

Hello. What is the output of "symgate list"? Are the GKs assigned to the Solaris host in question? Thanks, Brion

after adding the gatekeepers you may need to shutdown and restart the SYMAPI base daemon (storapid). run the following

stordaemon shutdown storapid -immediate

stordaemon start storapid

symcfg discover

then you can try the powermig commands again

root@hostname # /usr/symcli/bin/symgate list

Symmetrix ID: 000187870320

No GateKeeper devices were found.

Looks like even though GK's are mapped and masked, they didn't get added to the symapi db?

Hi. A colleague suggested the following::

"after adding the gatekeepers you may need to shutdown and restart the SYMAPI base daemon (storapid). run the following

stordaemon shutdown storapid -immediate

stordaemon start storapid

symcfg discover"

Did you try this too?

Thanks, Brion

Thanks for all the recommendations but I was unable to find a way to correct this without rebooting the host. After a reboot, powermig commands worked again.

storapid should have helped lookig at the errors. what is the PP version ?

Did u notice if the time stamp of the storapid? Did that restart automatically?. Were you able to issue sym commands like "symdg list" during the problem?
