MDS 9513 - pwwn|connected to
hello all ,
I'm currently working on an upgrade from nx-os 5.2.2 to 5.2.8c . We have some internal formalities to be done before the upgrade .
I'm filling up an excel sheet for each mds 9513 (we have 4 , 2 in each fabric ) . Looking for these details
Port No || Port Status || Port Description || Connected device name || pwwn of the connected device .
fc 1/1 up vmax 8e0 ???? ????
fc 1/2 up vnx spa0 ???? ????
fc 1/3 up host tnt tnt ???
I should be filling the sheet with the details above for all 4 switches .
I got the port status and port description ( sh interface brief and sh interface description ) .
How can I get the connected device name and pwwn for each port ? I can get the connected device name through device manager ... I want to know how this is acheived through CLI this can make my life much easier ..
Device manager is boring .
AE .

we are , but not for all . 70 % of the connected hosts/arrays have aliases .

yeah flogi does display the alias . I wish it displays it in one line , could have been easier to sort in excel . lots of manual work to do now .
DCNM looks useless too .
I would like to learn some scripting , any place you could suggest for a newbie to start off ?
Only scripting sounds vauge I know , but based on your exp what do you think would help me the most in terms of storage .

i don't think there is one command to get all the information, it will be a combination of "sh flogi data", "sh int des" and maybe sh fcalias. I see a little (or big) scripting project ahead of you

I'm done with port status /description - this was easy .. Sorting Pwwn was tough .
Just left out with the connected device name . I can see the device names in device manager ,
Port No || Port Status || Port Description || Connected device name || pwwn of the connected device .
fc 1/1 up vmax 8e0
done
fc 1/2 up vnx spa0
fc 1/3 up host tnt
dont want to do it through device manger , will take ages ... cli will be great .

even a little scripting will help you greatly, things like awk, grep, sed and very useful. For scripting i started out with bash, then moved on to perl. You fill find tons of free tutorials online, just pick one and go for it.

sh flogi data will display device-alias right next to WWN. If you don't have device-alias you will need to take that WWN and look it up in fcalias database (if that's what you are using).
