Many thanks to all who replied.

My model is an 3330 which has, I think, a capacity of 32. I have 10 disks
installed so there are lots of free slots.

There were some versions of commands that I could not use because I was at
an older version.

e.g. "symdev -noport list" will give you the devices that are not assigned
to a port (FA or SA), so they are not in use. from Don Winsor (or Winsor
Don) and Richard Goodwin.

There was also "symdisk list" whichI could not use for the same reason
from George Bodnar.

As an example I have included a mail from Stuart Abramson.

 
Do a "symcfg list -v". Here is mine below. See "<===" arrows.
 
I have an 8430 with 86 disks. The max capacity of the 8430 is 96 disks. I
can buy 10 disks.
 
You have a 3330 (old). I don't know what the max disk capacity of the 3330
is (see attached). You'll have to ask the list or go to www.emc.com

Original question:

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the following lines mean at the bottom of the
output

from the symcfg command:

Number of Configured (Sym) Devices : 24
Number of Visible (Host) Devices : 40
Number of Configured Actual Devices : 10

I am trying to find out if I have any real disks in the Symmetrix disk
subsystem that are not currently used.

thanks

Julian
