    Hi Julian, to find out the Symm disks that are not assigned to a port on the
    Symmetrix use the command "symdev -noport list" this will give you the
    devices that are not assigned to a port (FA or SA), so they are not in use.

    Subject: [HPADM] Understanding output form Symmetrix syscfg command
     

     Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what the following lines mean at the bottom of the output
    from the symcfg command:

    Number of Configured (Sym) Devices : 24
    Number of Visible (Host) Devices : 40
    Number of Configured Actual Devices : 10

    I am trying to find out if I have any real disks in the Symmetrix disk
    subsystem that are not currently used.

    thanks

    Julian
