VCM management is performed via syscalls on VMAX. The device does not need to be physically mapped to the FA in order to carry out VCM tasks. Therefore normal provisioning exercises will continue without the VCM being mapped. I seem to recall a time when backing up the VCM required it to be mapped (could be wrong here), but I believe all symaccess commands are successful now without the VCM being mapped.
Hello,  Not sure how and why one Gatekeeper device is visible on a Solaris server, the server is not an ECC or SYMCLI server. this device is throwing SCSI error on the server they are not able to disable or label it from server end.  the device is Write Disabled on the array and cant be changed as this device is a VCM Database.   our customer don't want to see the errors on the server. Is there any way server can get rid of the issue    Thanks in advance.
