Device does not have any BCV pairing relationship while ESTABLISHing
I had created a STD and a BCV device and associated them, Now when I try to ESTABLISH them, I get an error saying -
The following procedure was followed:
Create a DG:
symdeg create SCCL202PDT -type REGULAR
Added a std device to disk group:
symld -g SCCL202PDT add dev 1EBD -sid xxx
Associate the BCV :
symbcv -g SCCL202PDT associate 1EC4 -sid xxx
What is that I am missing that is causing not to establish ?
Thanks!

the correct SID is xxx
C:\>SYMMIR -G SCCL202PDT establish
Execute 'Incremental Establish' operation for device group
'SCCL202PDT' (y/) ? y
'Incremental Establish' operation execution is in progress for
device group 'SCCL202PDT'. Please wait...
Cannot proceed because the device does not have any BCV pairing relationship

BCV pairing relationship
When you issue "symmir establish" it will default to an incremental establish. But an incremental establish requires a previous full establish. The default behaviour of S.E. is to report an issue (the one you are experiencing).
You can either
1) issue a "symmir -full establish"
2) change "options" file and enable automatic full establish when no previous one exists

It offers a lot of tweaks on Solution Enabler behaviour.
One of the tweaks is the following:
