Navicli command to find the orphan Luns

There is no CLI command that will list the LUNs that are not assigned to a host.  You can use the "storagroup -list" command - that will list each LUN that is in a storage group. But this will not tell you if a LUN is free (not assigned to a host) or Private (reserver LUNs, metaLUN component LUNs).

You may be able to get this from the GUI reports, but have not tried that.

Thanks Kelleg ,

Is there any other way to generate unmasked Luns , using some script ot Navisphere manager ?

I found this in the NaviCLI Command Line Reference guide..

naviseccli -h

206.229.9263

Thanks Richard,

could you pls provide the complete comand with syntax ?

I thought I included that in the previous email…

A full complete command with login data would be…

Naviseccli –user getunusedluns

I’ve never used the command, I just found it in the CLI guide.

I missed that completely - it works - from my lab array

naciseccli -h IP_address_SPA getunusedlungs

RAID GROUP: 1
LUN 1

RAID GROUP: 0
LUN 3

PS - learn something new every day 

yes, you can create an admin password file ...that's encrypted, take a look navisecli admin guide.

Thanks Once again Richard ,

The commands works fine for me but the issue is the user id & password, Is there a way to encrypt the userid & Password so that no one could see the actual password .Security is a major concern here , I tried to Google on the same without any luck .

Thanks Richard ,

I've one more issue with the command , it gives you the Lun Name not the Lun id , what I'm looking here to find the unused Lun and its  capacity .

Yep, the detail on creating a security file is on page 37 of the Navisphere CLI Reference for version 7.30.

This sounds like a scripting project to me.  This would be a terribly-easy Perl script to get the LUN ID of all unused LUNs, dump into a temporary array, then get the LUN capacity with another NaviSecCLI command.  If you want a real challenge, write the same thing in PowerShell.

this is what I wrote

for($i=1; $i-le $count41; $i++)

        {

            $str=$UnusedLuns41[$i]
            $str1=$str.trimstart("LUN ")
            $WriteTofile = naviseccli -h $cxip getlun $str1 -name -capacity
            Add-Content C:\Govind-Storage\psscripts\FreeLun.log  $WriteTofile

but the thing is that I am getting the Capacity in two types. Block and MB. Is there any way we can get the capacity in MB or block alone.

hi,

thanks lot. I have got the output what i expected. I currently get this report in poweshell and then populate the Free lus for the Next Free Lun.

Again thanks

Thanks  Gouda ,

It was a great help.

Cheers
