Is there a command line interface for Unisphere?

does it need to be command line, how about scheduling export of upv or ttp files ?

The REST Api is the only way to communicate with the Uni database.  But I would also take a look at why it would be necessary to maintain a separate database outside of Uni?  The Uni DB can hold 15 months of historical data so its very long term.  You can easily have any report / chart you create exported as a CSV file.  In Uni V8, you can schedule this to be run and emailed to you automatically. So if you simply want some basic metrics like array IOPPS, MBS, etc...go this route.

OK, thanks for the confirmation. I am looking into the rest API.

The reason for the separate database is that we need collect data from multiple storage array types, across multiple vendors and the Unisphere data is only a part of it.

Each of the Unisphere sections that can be monitored or configured using the REST API are separated into different resources and detailed in the REST API documents. The documents are available here:  https://UNIVMAX_IP:UNIVMAX_PORT/univmax/restapi/docs , Where, UNIVMAX_IP is the IP address and UNIVMAX_PORT is the port, of the host running Unisphere for VMAX. Once the Zip file has been downloaded, extract the zip file contents and open “index.html”. All URLs, Required parameters and returned results for each resource are detailed in full within these navigable REST API documents. The subsequent WADL file is also available from this location.

Thanks Rich. That's what I've been doing. I have downloaded the zip files and am going through the API documentation. It looks like I have everything I need.
