symmaskdb list database not listing output for V-Max
All:
I'm not used to working on V-Max. The following command works fine for DMX-4, but only shows "warning message" for V-Max. what is wrong?
# symmaskdb -sid 1668 list database -dir 5g -p 0
The record for Server1 contains more than one initiator.

Dynamox:
thanks. That helps a lot.
Eventually I want to do everything I do right now with 'symmaskdb list databse' and "symmask list".
1. right now I want to see a list of devices that are masked on Director 5g:0 and to where are they masked.
I can see that I'm going to have to read a manual, For right now s there a "companion" command to "symaccess" like "symmask/symmaskdb" that I should look up?

It says at least you have two Host Initiator records on a given server1. I would recommend using two separate views with thier own initiator(ig) and port(pg) , but you may keep the same storage(sg)

Hi
symmaskdb will not work for vmax
you can use below two cmds together to get equivalent of symmaskdb list database
./symaccess -sid xxx list view -deatil | grep -i 5g:0 -->view the devices
./symaccess -sid xxx list assignment -dev -->where it is masked
Thanks

symaccess -sid XXXX list -type port -dirport 5g:0 -detail -v
This will show you all the masking views that see that port.
