EVA Array Configuration to text file

TJ the SAN MAN — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 01:45:49 GMT

What is the easiest and least risky way to dump simple configuration/asset data to a text file for a number of EVA arrays?

I'm looking for things like number of controllers, amount of cache, number and size of disks, RAID group info, etc.

Thanks!

The Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU) allows you to get this information in simple text form or in XML format, e.g.:

- list all disks
EVA1> ls disk
- list all disks with details
EVA1> ls disk full
- list all disks with details in XML format
EVA1> ls disk full XML

And don't forget the "CAPTURE CONFIGURATION" command which creates an SSSU script which allows you to rebuild or clone an EVA configuration.

Uwe - thanks!

How about cache on the controllers?

I assume LS CONTROLLER FULL?
