create a new MV using existing SG with devices tagged RecoverPoint
Hello,
I tried to create a new MV using existing SG with devices tagged RecoverPoint and I have an error. Of course, right?:)
What should be the approach to go around this limitation?
The purpose is to add new FAs to the devices by creating new MV with new PG using existing IG and SG.

And how should I check the replication status from the symm part (symcli). I do not have access to RP Console.
Is it enough: symrcopy -sid xxx list -detail (to check the RecoverPoint sessions)??
Not too sure about SymmCmds as i used to use provider to manage VMAX (so familiar with provider programming API). Give it a try with ESI 3.5 Recover point PowerShell Cmdlets (https://support.emc.com/search/?text=ESI%203.5). They may have what you are looking for.
Regards.

[Not actual answer, as i am interested in finding the correct answer]
i had similar problem. And I have worked around it by (if i can recall correctly) un-tagged the device, added to storage group and re-tagged it.
Its clearly won't have any side affect if a consistency group, replication sets, production copies and replication copies all are new - as replication won't start until the replication has been enabled. Not sure in other cases regarding side affects.
Regards.
