CLI for 3.26

Question

We are a new shop to EMC with a CX3-40. We are trying to use the CLI for gathering some performance statistics. Using the CLI, on AIX 5.3, we can set the interval, start the analyzer, retrieve the archive. The catch is we are not able to format the nar file via the CLI. In the docs for the 3.24 version we find this task to be supported using .jar files that are not included in version 3.24. We are in possession of an EMC white paper that says the java command using the .jar files is to be replaced by new commands, but have failed to find what those commands are. Additionally, we are looking at the stats we did convert using the gui for the analyzer, but have no idea what some of the stats are. i.e. READ CACHE Misses/s. When an archive is created, is it essentially all the data collected since the last start command and is it updated or must a new archive be created each time you wish to have data to see? We can manage reporting through the gui, but need to automate the collection process via korn shell scripts with CLI. It would be much appreciated if someone could direct me to the new CLI pdf for version 3.26. Regards,-dl

Here is some general information on where you can find the docs and other relevant information. The basic command is naviseccli -h $SP analyzer, if you run that it will show you all the flags. Thanks.

Shearermd-Thanks. You obviously recognized my error in posting our version. We are at 6.26.5.The manuals you gave links to appear to be most appropriate. However, when I try to dump the file as noted in the manual, our aix machine core dumps.-naviseccli -h 10.0.1.65 -secfilepath /home/dlamar analyzer -archivedump -rel APM00080601903_SPA_2008-08-22_22-31-57-GMT_M08-00.nar -xmlAnd naviseccli -h 10.0.1.65 -secfilepath /home/dlamar analyzer -archivedump -config APM00080601903_SPA_2008-08-22_22-31-57-GMT_M08-00.nar -out dummy.csv -overwrite yAny ideas here?Regards,-dl

O.K. people here is the official response from support -
"Engineering has identified the bug and the patch will be release near the end of Sept / beginning for Oct."

This is for an issue regarding the archive dump process on aix 5.3.7 and navicli 6.26.5 in which a core dump is produced.

Please excuse the original note, I was mistaken, the problem is for AIX and not SolarisglenMessage was edited by: kelleg

O.K. People.We downloaded and installed new version is 6.26.9.0.51 for aix, just released and with a fix for the core dump issue. This resolved the core dump issue when attempting to -archivedump.However, the archivedump process is extremely cpu intensive, using as much as 50%.I have reported this back to support on the open case id.-dl
