Symcli on Linux

Having problems making symcli work in a Server/Client (remote server) model ?

Try the following:

1. Do a clean reinstall: rpm -ef symcli-data-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-master-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-symcli-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-thincore-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-64bit-V7.5.0-0.x86_64 symcli-cert-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-base-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-symrecover-V7.5.0-0.i386 symcli-master-V7.5.0-0.i386
2. Resinstall: #> tar xvzf se7500-Linux-i386-ni.tar.gz
3. Then you have to use the supplied install script: #> ./se7500_install.sh
4. Make sure /usr/emc/API/symapi/config/netcnfg is properly configured
5. Make sure the connection name defined in the above file is exported as an environment variable on your shell: #> export SYMCLI_CONNECT=SYMAPI_SERVER (in that case "SYMCLI_CONNECT" is the name of the first field in the netcfg file.
6. Restart the daemon: #> stordaemon shutdown storsrvd && stordaemon start storsrvd
7. Make sure it's running: #>  /opt/emc/SYMCLI/bin/symcfg list -service
8. Check that the logs are clean:  #> /opt/emc/SYMCLI/bin/stordaemon showlog storsrvd
9. Check the currentlly running deamons: #> /opt/emc/SYMCLI/bin/stordaemon list (storapid, storwatchd and stordrvd should be running)
10. Export your path: #>export PATH=$PATH:/opt/emc/SYMCLI
11. Test your config: #> symcfg list
12. In last resort, read the following file found on powerlink (when all else fail read the instructions): "Solution Enabler 7.X installation guide)

Good luck !
