Just want to be clear that if your question is "what can YOU do with SymmWin" or "What can an EMC CE do with SymmWin"?
As Vipin V.K. pointed out, this is a tool for EMC to use to manage and maintain the array. There isn't anything that you need to do with SymmWin directly as a customer/end-user.
Symmetrix logical volumes are defined by using the service processor and SymmWin interface. The Symmetrix IMPL configuration file consists of SymmWin is binary data stored in a proprietary EMC format.
SymmWin provides a logically ordered series of configuration windows to guide the user through the configuration building process. These windows begin by setting generic configuration flags, assigning directors, disks and volumes, and finally through a series of advanced configuration processes. Users are advised to adhere to the provided configuration sequence.
Configuration changes can also be performed online after a basic configuration has been installed. To do this, use the EMC ControlCenter Configuration Manager and Solutions Enabler Command Line Interface and Symmetrix Management Console.
