Map volume to 1000 SDC clients

Hi,

I have a requirement to map a scaleio volume to 1000 odd SDCs. In such a scenario, I do not think using "scli --map_volume_to_sdc..." would be the preferable way - which will attract running the command 1000 times.

Is there an easier way, to e.g auto-map the volume to all registered SDCs, during the volume creation time itself ? So, that when the 1000 SDCs come up, register themselves to the scaleio MDM, can automatically see the volume ? Or any other way ?

Regards,

Sravan.

scli is the way to go for such task. You just run a "loop" which your "scli --map_volume_to_sdc...". First, you need to create a text file with a list of all of your 1000 SDC clients's sdc_id, sdc_name, sdc_guid, or sdc_ip (depend on which one you prefer). Let say you want to use sdc_ip, create the file with IP addresses of your 1000 SDC clients, one per line, call it SDC.Clients.IP.txt. Now you're ready to do this:

for i in `cat SDC.Clients.IP.txt`; do

scli --map_volume_to_sdc (--volume_id 
     | --volume_name 
     ) --sdc_ip $i --allow_multi_map
     
    
done

That should do it.
