Information about snapshot sizes
Our EVA8000 has a lot of snapshots.
We would like to receive each day a report on the actual size of the snapshots so we can precent overcommit when the total space on the san is too low.
I know it maybe possible with SSSU but I can't find any examples of this.
Isn't there an easy GUI which can collect, store and present this information?
thanks in advance for a response

Re: Information about snapshot sizes
...except if you are willing to invest some time ($) on your own. I gave some hints how to process SSSU's XML output with Microsoft's LogParser program and generate some easy reports or even graphics:

Re: Information about snapshot sizes
Using vms snaps against a eva8,000. In the end we created a dcl script called an sssu script and by using the dcl define sys$output we were able to then interigate the sssu with a dcl search command, see see for the 2 scripts involved, 1st is the DCL, 2nd is the SSSU script.
ty show_space.com
$ SSSU :== $SSSU_VMS_ALPHA
$ DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT EVA_SPACE.LIS
$ SSSU "FILE SHOW_SPACE.SSSU"
$ DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT
$ SEAR EVA_SPACE.LIS SPACE
$ DELETE/NOLOG/NOCONF EVA_SPACE.LIS;*
$ EXIT
ty show_space.sssu
select manager YOUR_SERVER_NAME username=YOUR_PASSWORD password=YOUR_PASSWORD
set options nocommand_delay
ls system YOUR_EVA_NAME xml
exit
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Niall.

Re: Information about snapshot sizes
or:
Is there really no tutorial for this?
How should querry this for example every nigth?
How should I collect and store these XML?
How should I use the data for grafics so I can mail the growth of snapshots to the end user automaticly?
I think SSSU could be a very powerfull tool, but with this amount of examples, it will not work!
thanks for any help!

Re: Information about snapshot sizes
Last year I had to track some 'lost' space in a CA environment and it was no fun at all to deal with L2"read the manuals"--me"I've read the manuals-the information is not there!" via the L1 call-center agent.
XML is a great idea - parsing the older ever-changing SSSU "SHOW" output was not fun and I've collected a number of unit-tests during those times. The problem comes when you want to process the data and do not know: is it blocks? bytes? degrees celsius? ...?
