Show unallocated space on MSA1000?

[Sarah Nordstrom]

How do I show how much space is unallocated on an MSA1000, from the serial CLI? 'show disks' shows the installed physical disks, and 'show units' shows the configured units, but I can't seem to find a way to show how much space is left (short of calculating it by hand). Any help much appreciated.

Hi,
the CLI seem not having such a command and therefore there is another option accessible also on Linux platform... ACU (Array command utility) GUI

Hi Sarah,
Did verify the complete commandset. Seems like there isn't an option available. ACU is the only way to go.

OK, thanks. Any suggestions on what might make the MSA not show up in hpacucli then? I have >10 machines connected to 2 MSAs (one on active/passive firmware, one active/active), and none are able to see the MSA controller in 'ctrl all show status'.

Sarah,

The next release of MSA FW, 5.30/7.10, includes a command that will show free space on an Array Group.

It should be available soon.

Still can't find the 5.30 firmware available for download anywhere, when is it supposed to be released?
