    A lock is placed by engenuity before a configuration change occurs. So before releasing any lock make sure that there are no configurations queued up. Forcefully releasing a lock while a configuration is occurring may have disastrous and unpredictable consequences. To check if there are any configurations happening, use the following command :

    #symconfigure -SID XXXX query

    If there are no outstanding configurations then you can safely release the lock.

    rule of 17 = a pair of FA port number should equal to 17 for redundancy . It is no longer applicable to the newer generation of symmetrix.
