Gatekeeper devices not found
Hi,
I tried to execute the command in my vmax array, but no devices found, does it mean that there are no GK devices created for the array ?
#symgate list
No gatekeeper devices found
1. Is this mandatory to have the gatekeeper device ?
2. Are the gatekeepers created and mapped only for the management hosts where SE is installed ?
No Events found!

gatekeepers need to be created and defined.
to create gatekeeper devices (recommended 6 dedicated gatekeepers per host that will be talking to the array, symcli, Unisphere for VMAX ..etc)
symconfigure -sid 123 -cmd "create gatekeeper count=6, emulation=FBA;" commit
There is no reason to present gatekeeprs to a host unless it's interracting with array in some way.

GK devices needs to be presented to the host where you will issue commands ( preferably MGMT host).
Other host does not require it

Hi Dynamox
Thanks for your answers
So we need to present gate keeper devices only to the management host (SE/symcli/unisphere installed), not required to create GK devices for the standard host where the storage is provisioned from VMAX, am i right ?
