StorageScope Reporting - Report or query to give me what is available for use
I am having a heck of a time trying to get a report that tells me what i have left in my VMAX that i can mask to a host.
I have tried query builder but i am not getting what i want.
Out VMAX has about 14 Disk_groups. most of these disk groups have devices pre-carved out, ie, unmapped devices already created. Some of the disk groups have a little free space left, but not enough to create any new devices.
so i want to know how i can get a pretty little report that shows me the devices that are masked to hosts, their total, the devices that are available to be put into a storage group (Ie unmasked devices) and their total.
I want it to include standard FBA devices, data devices if any, actual storage not thin devices or anything like that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Or that!
A symcli script would be simple...especially with perl.. check out my blog http://blog.virtualstoragezone.com for an example of meta reporting... could easily be expanded..

In my experience, StorageScope is not that great with these types of things... You have three options that I can think of. 1) Write your own Custom report 2) Pay EMC/Someone to write said report 3) Perl script or something else similar using symcli

I don't have StorageScope installed anymore, but in ControlCenter can't you just expand Storage -> VMAX -> Unmapped Devices?
Then drag them to properties and add them up?

Unmapped may show me what i want, but i need that in a report form. there is also a chance that there are still mapped but not masked devices which will skew the results too...
