[EVA 5000/8000] Possible to query EVA configuration?

[NK_forumuser]

I might be interested in an overview of information of hosts.

I want to present the xml-file to (custom)-html.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/tools/logparser/lpexamples.mspx

I want the twice example.

Need I the code, xls:, to make the custom-HTML-reports?

I've found that when using LogParser.exe to parse SSSU's XML output, I had to run LogParser with the '-fMode Tree' option to get the report output displayed correctly.

Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles upon this thread.

Uwe,

Can you explain what you mean with:

However, after some minor modifications of SSSU's XML, you can use Microsoft's LogParser.
The trick is to enclose the "object" tags, e.g.:





Cause I can't get your scripts working, and i guess it's because of this..

[Herfkens]

That wasn't to hard just an at the top of the file and a at the end.

But know the following:

LogParser.exe -i:XML -rtp:-1 -stats:OFF "SELECT DISTINCT objectname,portwwn FROM host.xml"

-rtp isn't an option anymore it seems in logparser?

Dang Uwe, you rock man! Old article but only just found it - exactly what I needed.

Thanks!

All,

these solutions looks like the thing i'm searching for...
However I have still a question

how do you produce the XML files you use

FROM disks.xml
FROM vdisks.xml
FROM vdisk.xml, host.xml


an other question is if anyone has experience with collection real snapshot sizes into an XML file?

[susanta_dutta]

These are output of "ls xx full xml" command out, where xx is Vdisk, Disk & Host

Ex:
EVA> ls vdisk full xml > vdisk.xml

[Van Kerckhove Piet]

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!

Van Kerckhove Piet,

There are many undocumented ways those of us managing EVA's have found that are useful that HP *could* decide to help us with, but does not want to (we agree their support is stretched already). XML use of SSSU, too few RSM templates and EVAPERF are but a few examples.

[Herfkens]

Indeed there are no good examples from HP.

But with some Google searches on LogParsers and the SSSU command reference, I've created a scripts that dumps the vdisk, disk and host information every night in some csv files. :)

Great for administration.
