HBA access via Store Command Line
Some times you get some new HBA cards that you cannot see via the ECC console, due to the card being a newer HBA or if your patch level on the ECC being behind revision. The good news is granting volume access to HBAs via command line can be done as follows:
1. Login to the ECC store NT box.
2. Open the command prompt and type :
symmaskdb list database more
3. Verify that the devices you are pathing are free on the list.
4. Grant access to the devices in question with the following command:
symmask -sid "Symm-Serial Number" -wwn "WWN Number of HBA" -dir "FA" -p "FA Port Number" add devs "Device range"
example:
symmask -sid #### -wwn 10000000c9fake -dir 9c -p 0 add devs 62a:78F
5. Verify that the access has been granted:
symmaskdb list database more
