Removing Masking information with no host
Hi
We have removed a host from the SAN but did not remove the Masking / Disks from the Host Director first.
Although it is easy for me to remove the Disks from the Host Directory how can I remove the masking information if I have no HBA from which to remove the "Grants"
Many thanks
Ben

If the host is not attached you might be able to do the work through a deallocation task (if you have the ARM license). Set up a policy that will just perform the tasks you want and activate the task against the devices you need unmasked. I don't have the environment to test this right now, but it might work for you.
If the host IS still attached to the physical fabric you should be able to find the HBA WWNs under unidentified ports and do the unmasking directly from the WWNs.

If you have not cleaned-up the zoning (assuming you use SAN Manager) you can also find the zone (assuming your zone has your host name in it) and do the unmasking from there as well.

You can delete (in the database) the set of devices associated to a
host adapter by using the symmask delete action with the following
syntax:
symmask -sid SymmID delete -wwn wwn|-awwn awwn|\
-iscsi iscsi|-aiscsi aiscsi
For this database record deletion, you can restrict the action to just
devices on a specific Symmetrix director and port with the following
option:
[-dir #|all -p #|all]
In addition, you can use the -login option to delete the entry from
the login history table.
