Enclosure capacity
Hi
We are moving to new data centers. Currently we have 29 c7000 enclosures and the amount is rapidly growing. We have HP SIM with vcem. Now i urgently need a tool to get a report on free bays on all enclosures. All + free. Is this possible, perhaps another SIM plug-in?

Re: Enclosure capacity
HP SIM doesn't really "know" which bays are free; that is, there is no database object for a free bay. You would need to work directly from the database tables (the schema is documented in online help and in the Technical Reference Guide from http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim --> Information Library) and count up the bays with things in them and then infer which bays are free. It'll be a little tricky if you have a mixture of FH and HH bays, as well as any bays with things like SB40c storage blades or tape blades...

Re: Enclosure capacity
Just the report I'm being asked for on a weekly basis. Someone has been working on getting a schema report but it relies on everything SIM can talk to - talking ok.
We were thinking of getting the server name off the iLO and if it was blank then regarding that as a free bay. But the iLO name is not always updated correctly on all OS unless we get all the latest agents/drivers on.
Next thing I want our DBA to look at is querying the VCEM database and looking for unused slots and then asking the ilO what is in the slot.
David, great idea for a feature improvement in SIM.

Re: Enclosure capacity
That would definitely be a handy feature to use. I have 20 c7000 enclosures and the only way I could keep track was to create a spreadsheet "master IP doc" that has all the enclosures listed down along with the preset IP address for ILO. I simply put "spare" or "empty" in the blade enclosure location and run a total at top of spreadsheet. Ya its manual which bites but it's all I have so far but I keep on top of it.
i.e. here is formula for empty slots
=COUNTIF(B283:B1801,"empty")
Good luck.
