CX storage subsystem - Managment reporting. Help please......
Hi,
This is my first post in the forum so I hope I'm in the correct category as this is not a very technical question. I have been tasked with producing SAN metrics report to include (at a minimum) total available disk, type of disk, amount allocated, and amount used for all of our CX storage systems (cx3-20s, cx300, cx600 & cx700). My question is has anyone developed any kind of reporting scripts or programs that would produce some nice management-style reports to role up the chain of command? I'm don't script, but am aware that navicli could be my friend here in collecting data. I also do not have any SRM tools. The only thing available to me is navicli and navisphere manager.
My storage subsystems are located around the world and I would like to compile reports for each CX system individually, but them possibly rolling all report data into a global report also.
Any help on this is very much appreciated. I can also be reached at jprofaizer@rgare.com.
Thanks,
.Joe

Welcome to the forums. You are in the right spot for this question. The answer will depend on what version of FLARE your arrays are running.
If you are on Release 24 or later for all of your arrays (except for the Cx600, you are stuck on FLARE 19 for the Cx600) then the reporting features introduced in FLARE 24 give you a lot of data that can be manipulated in a spreadsheet. Take a look at the Physical Disk Details and RAID Group reports for starters. The data is displayed in a table format that can be copied into a spreadsheet and sorted and filtered. You can display free disks on the array, available storage within RAID Groups, etc.
For the Cx600 there is no easy way to get the data in a format that is easily manipulated for reporting. You can display array configuration through the cli and there are some folks that have found out how to manipulate it. Search the forums, I think there was a post on this earlier this year.

I think for produce some nice management-style reports you can use tool like CAP2. The Report very user-friendly and you can save it to excel.
