Drive Report - Custom Report

[ServerParrott]

Hi, 

I have found the inbuilt reports on OneView and the Global Dashboard to be sufficient enough so far, however, due to orders beyond my control, it's become necessary to create a report of what models of drives we have in all of our servers. Now obviously I don't want to click on each server in OneView and go to the hardware view, or even worse, go to every single iLO. 

Is it possible to create a custom report with the drive model/part number information?

If so, how?

Any specific powershell modules to install? 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

@ChrisLynchHPE Sorry to tag you directly, any thoughts on this?

There are two requirements:

1. You need to have HPE OneView 4.20 installed.
2. Only Gen10 servers can report their drive inventory today.
3. You can use any REST API client, including PowerShell to get server objects.

The Get-HPOVServer Cmdlet will return the server objects.  However, the returned object will not contain the local storage details.  So, if you have Gen10's, you can do something like:

(Get-HPOVServer | ? model -match 'Gen10' | select -fir 1 | % { sr -uri ($_.uri + '/localStorage' )
 }).Data

Which then returns something similar to:

AdapterType                                   : SmartArray
BackupPowerSourceStatus                       : Present

                                                Location=1I:1:1; Model=EH0146FCBVL; SerialNumber=SGH101X2RN; Status=},
                                                @{BlockSizeBytes=512; CapacityLogicalBlocks=286677120;
                                                CapacityMiB=139264; EncryptedDrive=False; FirmwareVersion=;
                                                Location=1I:1:2; Model=EH0146FCBVL; SerialNumber=SGH102X2RN; Status=}}
SerialNumber                                  : 0PR0X0E9T0
Status                                        : @{Health=Warning; State=Enabled}

The PhysicalDrives property will contain the drives for that server.  The inventory view is only as current as the last time the server was powered on.

I cannot talk about product futures, but you might keep a lookout for features in Global Dashboard in the very near future.

Hi Chris! Thanks for the reply! We do have a few G10's knocking around so this is helpful!

Thanks!

Sounds intriguing Bruce! Will do. Thanks.
