1.    check the fabric logi (flogi)
        Switchshow | grep “wwpn” or “aliname”

2.    Providing logical connectivity (zoning)
      
3.    Validating whether the zoning is done correctly or not through check plogi on storage
        Symmask list logins –sid xxx –dir xxx –p xxx

4.    To display available free space 
        Symconfigure –sid xxx list –freespace –unit MB

5.    To display the available devices
        Symdev list –sid xxx –noport

6.    To create hypers or devices
        Open vi editor or text file
        Create dev count=xxxx, size=xxxx, Config=RAID5,emulation=FBA
        Save
        Then RUN the text file using
        Symconfigure  -sid xxx –f filename preview(confirm the command syntax is correct)
        Prepare(confirm the command syntax is correct and fisibilty checking, and device locked)
        Commit(commit the changes to the database)

7.    To check available channeladdress for FA Ports
        Symcfg list –sid xxx –dir xxx –p xxx –addr –avail

8.    Mapping the devices to the FS Ports
        Open vi editor file
        Map dev xxx to dir xxx p xxx target=0 lun=xxx;
        Save
        Then run the text file using
        Symconfigure –sid xxx –f filename Preview

9.    To update the configuration
        Symcfg discover

10.    Masking the hypers to the Host
         Symmask –sid xxx –wwn wwpn –dir xxx –p xxx add dev xxx

11.    To update the masking database
         Symmask refresh –sid xxx

12.    To know how many hosts are accessing a hyper
         Symmaskdb list –sid xxx assignments –dev xxx

13.    To know how many devices are assigned to a host
         Symmaskdb –sid xxx  list devs –wwn wwpn

14.    To display all disk groups in a symmetrix
         Symdev list –sid xxx –bg disk_group

15. To check storage allocated to host
       symmaskdb -sid xx list capacity -host hostname
