Documentation tool.

You can use USM to open SPCollects

Does USM do what the CAP tool used to? I also have some VMax arrays, do you know if there is a tool for that?

Thanks.

Never used CAP as it was for EMC/Partners only. For VMAX as a partner/EMC you could probably get a copy of the bin file, other than that look into Unisphere for VMAX ..see if there are any export options. EMC SRM ?

As a customer, the best tool for config documentation is the System Configuration Report tool in USM, imo.

Every detail, versioned, organized and easy to use.

Thank you Brett@S, yeah I think I'm going to stick whit USM for now it does the same thing as old CAP tool. I was avoiding it because the restrictions we have on the management servers, but thats something I have to workout whit our server guys.

@dynamox - Thank you.

You can use the below command to generate the file.

naviseccli -address X.X.X.X -user sysadmin -password sysadmin -scope 0 arrayconfig -capture -output C:\arrayconfig.xml

Just to build on that, if you plan to automate/script it, use powershell to stamp the processed date into the filename to assist with cataloging and organizing.

$configName = "SERIAL_" + $(date -f ddMMyyyy)+".xml" ; naviseccli -h arrayspaddress arrayconfig -capture -output c:\EMCFILES\Configs\$configName

Change SERIAL to the array serial number or hostname, arrayspaddress, and change the date format (above is in ENG/AU) and output location as required.

-- assuming you have a security file setup, otherwise add user/pass/scope to above

Output location will look like this;
