without -unmap, device will no longer be masked but they will remain mapped to FAs. I think we both agree on that [IMAGE]
We are cleaning up old "instances".  I destroy the old Masking Views and Storage Groups and I find to my surprise that SOME (not all) of the devices are still mapped to FA Ports, even though the device is now NOT in a Storage Group.  My guess is that somebody mapped the device to an FA Port with "symconfigure" and then later added it to a Storage Group and a Masking View.  So, I have to "manually" unmap them with "symconfigure".  So i want to go through my entire VMAX, device by device, and determine if I have any more of these.  Has anybody had this problem?  Do you have a script to do this?  Is there some way to tell that a "mapping relationship" has been created by "symconfigure" and NOT by a Masking View; i.e. - are they different in some way?       Stuart
I have devices that are NOT in Storage Groups, but ARE Mapped to FA Ports!
