Hello,
You can create a basic query to achieve what you require (which you can then refine later) using the StorageScope's Query Builder.
1. Start by luanching the Query Builder via the following StorageScope menu item:
Analysis > Queries > Query Builder
2. Click the "Create" button at the bottom of the screen to start the Query Builder Wizard which has 5 steps:
Column Name = LUNs.LUN Type,
Operator = contains ignore case, and
Value = bcv
(you may later like to add filters to obtain results for specific single arrays only, but test the basic query first)
3. Finally, click "Save" to the query which will then enalbe you to click the "Run Now" button to get your results You can now also find your saved query in the list of the main Query Builder home page (which can be modified as required).
Please let us know if you have any further questions about this functionality.
Also, if I've answered your question sufficiently, please select the “Correct Answer” button to confirm.
Thanks and Regards, Louie

Hi Louie, Thanks and I followed your steps. The query ran but it didn't contain any data.
Any more suggestions ?
Regards

Hello,
I've successfully tested this procedure in my lab environment. So perhaps the data you require is not present in the StorageScope database.
To confirm this, you could widen your queries in the manner I suggested previously, and then gradually narrow down.
However, if there is missing data then troubleshooting this kind of issue will be very inefficient over online forums (there are many factors to consider).
Therefore, I recommend that you raise this issue formally with EMC Technical Support to get to the bottom of this. If possible, please also share the results with us on this thread once resolved.
Thanks and Regards, Louie

If you are using TimeFinder clones made with standard rather than "real" BCVs then they don't show as BCVs in this type of query.
Unless it has changed fairly reecently there was no means of reporting local copy information about clones without first marking them with a user defined field and selecting based on that.
Are the devices you are looking for type BCV or clones?
