Config Grabs (Symmetrix/VMAX)

don't know about the config but you can run some healthcheck task using the SMC.

There is no single command or SMC function that will provide you with an output like the SPCollects for Clariion or VNX.

You can script a selection of Solutions Enabler commands together to approximate some of it.

You would need to select outputs from the following commands

Symaccess for masking on a VMax

Symmask and symmaskdb for masking on a DMX

Symcfg for FA/DA configuration, flags, environmental information

Symdev and sympd for devices

Symdisk for spindles

Symacl and Symauth for security information

Symrdf for SRDF information

Symclone, symsnap and symmir for Timefinder information

Symaudit for an audit of activity on the Array

Symfast for Fast functionality

Symmigrate for any migrations

Symoptmz for any optimizer actions

Symqos for quality of Service settings

Symrcopy for any remote copy sessions

Symsan for San connections

Symstar for any STAR configurations

Symstat for statistics concerning directors, device groups, devices or disks

Symstp for performance information

You would need to have appropriate licenses for some of these to work on the host you are running the commands from.

The ways of outputting the information are many depending on the switches and can be output in text or xml.

what specifically you are looking for ? There are symdisk, symcfg, symaccess commands that will list different parts of the config.

Is there any method to grab the configurations of array through CLI or SMC ? Thanks in advance.

There are so many different options that display the output in so many different ways I could not even begin to give you a list of commands.

It depends exactly what it is you want and how you want it displayed.

Your best reference is the CLI manuals.

Hi Sam,

Do you have syntax for this (correct CLI - pl take symm id as "APMxx").

I have SolutionEnabler CLI guide; but various options for this command.

Pl let me know. Thanks in advance.

Symaccess ->
Symmask ->

Symdev ->

sympd ->

Symstp->

There is another option. If you execute an EMCReports or EMCGrab on a host which has Solutions Enabler then there is included in the resulting zip file many solutions enabler outputs that would also pertain to the general state of the Array.
