Hi @kerrplunk77 ,

Thank you for choosing HPE.

You may refer to the "Backup Commands" section in the HPE SimpliVity reference Guide depending on the version of the OVC in case you haven't.

For 3.7.10: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00088848en_us&docLocale=en_US

For 4.0.0: https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=a00094458en_us&docLocale=en_US

For 4.0.1: https://psnow.ext.hpe.com/doc/a00098253en_us

Please let us know in case you need any additional information.

Regards,

Abhishek

Thanks for replying Abhishek but svt-backup-show doesn't give me what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for a CLi single command that gives me a cumalitive cluster capacity breakdown, one output for all logical VM data, local backups and remote backups used; a CLi equivilant of the SimpliVify Cluster Capacity view in the GUI.

dsv-balance cmd output gets me close but I don't think this command reports the breakdown between VM data and backup (local and remote) data in the cluster.

I have this requirement for an old Dell OmniCube cluster deployment that's stuck on SVT 3.7.5, no flash vCentre client now and no prospect of upgrading but need a breakdown of the logical and physical usage in the cluster.

Any other ideas, anyone?

Hi,

We do not have one single command for this purpose. We gather the GUI information from a range of different CLI commands and Database queries. However, below commands may help:

dsv-capacity-monitor --> will give a breakdown of free space, intended for support not end user facing.

dsv-backup-show --> Run without arguements for a breakdown of all backups.

dsv-balance-manual --q --> will give you a breakdown of VM size & associated backups.

If you are looking for more in depth than this, then a support ticket would be helpful where we can provide some SQL queries and support-only scripts which would be outside of scope on this forum.

Hope this helps!
