i'd like suggest use "symevent list" for checking any abnormal events in the box

Hi, using SMC (Symmetrix Mgmt Console) covers all the day-2-day needs with automatic alerting and visuals and drill-down on "what's going on", additonially SPA (Symmetrix Performance Analyzer) provides similar functionality for performance-related items. Both are usually bundled in with each VMAX.

The nice thing it it also gives you point'n'click actions to resolve issues from alerts generated.

Well, as Alasdair said SMC/SPA does everything these days, all you need to do is to configure alerts in SMC and thresholds in SPA.

If you need it as an operational checklist for SAN then script it . We use a small script that collects all this information from the symapi host and send it as an email attachement to us.

hi,

Its a simple batch file with all the commands which collects the output in a text file and look for keywords like failed, down etc...we have added it to taskscheduler to run it in every 8 hours.
