You may need to discover the Symmetrix arrays the SymAPI server can see by running the

following command:

/opt/emc/SYMCLI/V5.5.0/bin/symcfg discover

IMPORTANT:

If error 214 is present in the discovery log and/or cimom.log during discovery, this

means the SymAPI server is not licensed for remote connections. The end-user will have to acquire

and install the license before discovery can occur.

Required Licenses
If you want to use all of the features of the management server, such as provisioning, with an EMC

Symmetrix storage system, you must have licenses for the following products:

BASE

DeltaMark

SERVER

DevMasking

Config Manager

Mapping (SOLUTION_4)

Limit the Management Server to One Subnet

If your management server is on two or more subnets, discovering a storage array through Solutions

Enabler 5.1 may not work. Limiting the management server to a single subnet allows Solutions

Enabler to respond correctly.

Excluding EMC Symmetrix Storage Systems from Discovery

When multiple EMC Symmetrix storage systems are managed through a single Solutions Enabler,

specific storage systems may be excluded from discovery by using system properties.
To exclude one or more Symmetrix storage systems from discovery, you must modify the
cimom.symmetrix.exclude property. Set the property cimom.symmetrix.exclude to a

comma separated list of serial numbers of the storage systems you want excluded, as shown in the

following example:

cimom.symmetrix.exclude=000183500570,000183610580

The management server excludes the storage systems with one of the following serial numbers:

000183500570 and 000183610580.
