Answer» Low-level I/O COMMANDS EXECUTED USING SYMCLI are ROUTED to the Symmetrix array by a Symmetrix storage device that is specified as a gatekeeper. The gatekeeper device allows SYMCLI commands to retrieve configuration and status information from the Symmetrix array without interfering with normal Symmetrix operations. The gatekeeper MUST be accessible from the host where the commands are being executed.
