All I could add would be the DellEMC Built in migration tools guide: https://www.emc.com/collateral/TechnicalDocument/docu65074.pdf Specifically starting page 37 about running cleanup on failed migrations. Thank you for this.

Comment on Using SYMCLI in offline mode or SYMCLI simulator by AK

In reply to hari.

Might be with the server from which you have copied / downloaded the symapi_db.bin file.

For SE versions 8.x (VMAX 100k/200K/400K/ AllFlash and above), before you copy the current (running) version of symapi_db.bin file, do the below:
symcfg discover
symcfg sync -local

Note that some commands like *symconfigure* will NOT work with the offline mode on older SE versions (anything less than 8.x), essentially VMAX1/SE / 10K/20K/40K models.

Once the above is done, copy that file (or use “mv” on Unix hosts) and complete the remainder of trials using the instructions by Vipin here.

In reply to qsef007x.

Thanks, qsef007x. Glad to know this post helped you. Let me try to answer your questions.

1. The NDMP credentials are the ones set on the Celerra/VNX DM. If the same is not existing already, you can create a new user using server_user command.

2. The issue is with 32 bit Unix applications only.

3. You don’t have to do any additional steps in setting up the connectivity as long as the source and destination ports are on the same network. You just have to ensure the ports are able to communicate each other for the data being transferred using the NDMP protocol.
