I'm looking for some sort of super-utility to manage multiple EVAs in CommandView.

I have 120+ hosts; when I got the first EVA, and I had to create all of the host entries in CV I was :)

Then I got a second EVA and had to create all of the host entries and I was :|

I just got a 3rd EVA and now I'm :(

I have a 4th EVA on the way and I will be >:[

There has to be a better way to do this.

why don't you use SSSU

it is the scripting utility of CV EVA. You can capture the config from first Eva and just apply the add host lines to the second, third or forth EVA

Hello Thom,

Yes, using SSSU, you can script this.

location
"C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Sanworks\Element Manager for StorageWorks HSV\sssu.exe"

Manager: localhost
Username: Administrator
password: your-password

ls system ( or ls sys for short, list all evas)

select sys eva-name ( from the ls system cmd)

ls host

you can script all the above like this
1) create a batch file
gethost.bat
SSSUV8 "File gethost.txt" > allhosts.txt

your gethost.txt ( is like this. Change your EVA_1 with your eva-name)
SELECT MANAGER localhost username=administrator password=hpinvent
SELECT SYSTEM "EVA_1"
ls host

now run gethost.bat

you can now edit the allhosts.txt and make changes.

refer to HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility reference

this has all the commands

As above said, SSSU is the only easiest way of doing this.
