SSSU Commands to remove many luns on a server

[Sue Leikam]

We are running an EVA8000 and would like to use SSSU to delete luns off a server. What commands should I use?

P.S. This thread has been moved from  Disk Array to HP Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU). -HP Forum Moderator

A series of "DELETE VDISK " commands should do the trick.

We are on an older version of CVS, to be upgraded this Saturday.
But, here is how we have been doing it -

/sbin/sssu "FILE $YOUR_FILE_NAME"

Typical YOUR_FILE_NAME -

SET OPTIONS NOCOMMAND_DELAY ON_ERROR=EXIT_ON_ERROR
select manager sma1.corp.gottschalks.com username=administrator password=secret
select cell SAN01
delete lun "\Hosts\HP-UX\Your Host name\50"
delete storage "\Virtual Disks\The host name\lun name\ACTIVE"
exit

He/She said delete LUN's, not storage.

Please disregard the "delete storage" command, as that will completely delete the data from the EVA.

If you simply want to unpresent, use "delete lun \Hosts\hostname\lun"

Thanks,

Doing that manually can be a bit of work...
For that case I take the output of the "SHOW LUN" command, store it in a file (show_lun.txt) and run it though a script (one line):

$ sed -e 's/ \\Hosts/delete lun \\Hosts/g' show_lun.txt | grep "^delete" > delete_luns.txt


In case you want to present them later again, do a "CAPTURE CONFIGURATION" before you start working with the EVA and store it in 'config.txt'. Then you can easily extract the mapping commands:

$ grep "^ADD LUN " config.txt > present_vdisks.txt
