Veritas Operations Manager 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 Veritas Operations Manager 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.
Ensure that the EMC Solutions Enabler on the discovery host 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

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.
