Configuring the remote SYMAPI server for EMC Symmetrix array discovery
The Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) supports the discovery of EMC Symmetrix arrays with a remote SYMAPI server mechanism. This discovery method does not require in-band array connectivity to the host from which the EMC Symmetrix array is discovered.
For the IMS to discover EMC Symmetrix arrays using a remote SYMAPI server, you need to configure the SYMAPI server. To configure the remote SYMAPI server in your environment, you need to perform two tasks:
Ensure that the remote SYMAPI server daemon is running on the server where the EMC Solutions Enabler is installed. See the following procedure:
Ensure that the EMC Solutions Enabler on the discovery host can communicate with the remote SYMAPI server. See the following procedure:
To ensure that the EMC Solutions Enabler can communicate with the remote SYMAPI server
To ensure that the remote SYMAPI server daemon is running on the server where the EMC Solutions Enabler is installed
- Log on with the administrative credentials to the host that you want to use as the remote SYMAPI server and which has in-band connectivity to the EMC Symmetrix array.
- Type the following command on the host:
stordaemon list
An example of the daemon list appears.
Available Daemons ('[*]': Currently Running): [*] storapid EMC Solutions Enabler Base Daemon storgnsd EMC Solutions Enabler GNS Daemeon storrdfd EMC Solutions Enabler RDF Daemon storevntd EMC Solutions Enabler Event Daemon [*] storwatchd EMC Solutions Enabler Watchdog Daemon storsrmd EMC Solutions Enabler SRM Daemon storstpd EMC Solutions Enabler STP Daemon storsrvd EMC Solutions Enabler SYMAPI Server Daemon [*] storsrvdInst >>> Running Instance of storsrvd <<<
The name for the remote SYMAPI server daemon is storsrvd. If you see a [*] for storsrvd, that means the remote SYMAPI server daemon is already running on the host. If the daemon is running, proceed to the next procedure.
To ensure that the EMC Solutions Enabler can communicate with the remote SYMAPI server
- Type the following commands to start the storsrvd daemon:
stordaemon start storsrvd
Waiting for daemon to start. This may take several seconds.

- Perform steps 1 and 2 on each host in which you want to configure the remote SYMAPI server.
To ensure that the EMC Solutions Enabler can communicate with the remote SYMAPI server
- Install EMC Solutions Enabler on the Discovery Host.
- Change to the SYMAPI configuration directory. By default, the directory is:
Linux - /var/symapi/config
Windows - %PROGRAMFILES%\EMC\SYMAPI\config
- Modify the file "netcnfg" in the SYMAPI configuration directory of the host where the EMC Solutions Enabler is installed. Append the entry for the configured SYMAPI server(s) to the end of the file. The following is an example of adding entries for two SYMAPI servers:
#SYMAPI_SERVER - TCPIP node001 WWW.XXX.YYY.ZZZ 2707 -
DC1_SERVER - TCPIP ctrlhost_1 10.200.15.155 2707 -
DC2_SERVER - TCPIP ctrlhost_2 10.249.100.155 2707 -
