It is possible with little scripting skills, but you can understand the health of your array by running the below commands.  #symdisk -sid <###> list -failed  ==> To list the failed disks #symcfg -sid <###> list -env_data -service_state notnormal -v ==> To list the environmental failures #symcfg -sid <###> list -dir all | grep -vi Online ==> To list the directors that are not Online #symevent -sid <###> list -fatal -start MM/DD ==> To list the fatal events recorded in your array
Hi everybody!  I am looking for a way to display/check hardware failures using symcli commands for VMAX/DMX arrays? Is that possible?  - Why? - Because I am working as a resident on a customer that do not want to implement any other "call home" method than analogic phone/modem line to report hardware failure, but due to a recent moving of his Datacenter customer is not able to do so yet (there is not any analogic line available from the housing provider) so I am wondering if there is a way to realize hardware failures using SYMCLI to make a simple script for reporting, from a UNIX host using crontab feature, and send the output to my email address in order to avoid constantly check the health state of these arrays using, for example, Control Center (unfortunately it was unconfigured during some activities related with the movement mentioned before).  Thanks in advance for your answers/suggestions/ideas.
