Either no storage array is locally attached to the host or could not find remote storage attached to local storage. Do you want to continue?
I have a setup, where SRDF CE is installed on Win 2008 SP2 on HP blade. Two node cluster
node1--->site 1 R2
node2---->site 2 R1
The problem is, node2 can see only locally attached vmax, can't see R2 vmax in symcfg list
symcfg discover only discovers local array.
The node1 is able to see both vmaxes, local and remote in symcfg list
GK's are added, there's no issue with SRDF link, both hosts SRDF devices are synchronized state.
Devices are also added to ACL pools.
ACL Keys are registered on both arrays.
Any advise ?

You may have a entry in the symavoid file to prevent discovery of the remote array? Typically the symavoid file is here:
C:\program files\emc\symapi\config\symavoid

Thanks for response Jansonc !
Well, there was no entry for remote array in symavoid file.
So then, I asked OS admin to deinstall and resinstall solutions enabler.
Generate new ACL key
Destroyed ACL group, ACC pool,
Created group, and pool again, and added new ACC ID.
Then asked to run symcfg disco
Then symcfg list -- was successful !
Shown entry of both arrays this time, Local and remote.

using SymACL in combination with SRDF/CE may be tricky as the Cluster software may (or not) change the binding order of the MAC addresses of the NIC's. This binding order is used as "seed" for the ACL key, and therefore may (or not) introduce issues down the line.
The solution is to use "SYMAPI_ALTERNATE_ACCESS_ID"
This is described in https://support.emc.com/kb/10882
Unfortunately the content may not be available for you. Please open a Service Request, and reference that KB article number.
Using the alternative method of SymACL key will result in a more stable experience.
HTH,
