How can I do this in Windows Solutions Enabler? en1mp5t@essbkup5:/home/en1mp5t/cr-CIM>cat dev-cimcc01.txt | while read x > do > sudo symdev -sid 507 show $x | grep -i wwn > done

Thank you you a great bunch. It worked!

So this is what I get. can I have it in a way that it just runs and doesnt repeat the line "C:\Users\kboadi>symdev -sid 45 show 26A8   | findstr /I wwn"  for each content in  the file it reads. 

C:\Users\kboadi>for /f "tokens=1" %i in (ddd.txt) do symdev -sid 45 show %i | fi

ndstr /I wwn

for /f "tokens=1" %i in (dev-cimcc01.txt) do symdev -sid 507 show %i | findstr /I wwn

And if I want to pipe it to uniq , how does windows do that also? Like

sudo symdev -sid 507 show $x | grep -i wwn |uniq

Why not just add the -wwn flag onto syminq or symdev show surely this is the easiest way  if the devices are already in a group then you can add -sg flag as shown above.

Thanks that works too. But I still wanna know how to pass to unique in windows. I need it for other scenarios.

not sure what tools you have installed on your windows box but if I was to do this with cywin, I would use

symdev -sid xxx -sg sgname list -wwn | grep -i tdev | awk '{print $1, $4}'  this will give you both the symdev name and wwn stripped off, you could just display $4 to get only the wwn, the WWN will be unique on this output and what is presented to the host.  On the dymdev show you will get back the internal and external WWN, this is for SRDF Metro and NDM usage,  the symdev show will always show you the external identity .

ok thanks
