documenting LUNs on DAEs

Question

I need to dump out info on what LUNs are on which DAEs. In Navisphere, I can see "disk summary" when I right-click on my CX3-40 tree. It displays very nicely, just like I would want to dump it out to a file (to load into a spreadsheet?). When I use the 'save' button on that display, it gets dumped to a text file in a totally different layout!

Is there any other way to dump out this information to a text file where I can control how the info is dumped or even to get it dumped out like the "disk summary" display? Supposedly the installation engineers left us this documentation but it seems to have disappeared.

Any help is appreciated.

If you are on FLARE 24 or above you can generate nice xml reports that can be imported into spreadsheets. If you are not on FLARE 24 or above it is a lot harder to get the data you want, it is pretty much a manual process for lower revs of FLARE.

If you have a good relation ship with your ASN rep you can ask him to do this for you, no matter FLARE level you are on. You will need to provide him with SPCollect files from the SPs which he can then turn into xml and excel spreadsheets using CAP2¿

I hope this helps

Okay, thanks for the suggestions. I'd like to get FLARE updated but need to get it approved and scheduled.

I'm a nice ASN and yes, I have access to the latest CAP2..... CAP2 is great for documenting a Clariion !

Its a SP collect analysis tool...CAP-Clariion array properties...used by emc tech support.The output of the tool gives you a very systematic description of the array storage/LUN config.ThanksSarbjit.

What is CAP2?

U need to open both the SPcollects using CAP and then save it as .xls formatCAP can be downloaded from ASN site> Clariion toolsThis is a beautiful tool which gives u the complete info.

But for those of us that are just end users of the arrays and don't have access to those tools, the FLARE 24 and above array reports and a spreadsheet are about the only feasible option.

Make an SPCollect and ask your friendly CE to run them through CAP2 for you and send you the output. He will do that for you; I'm pretty sure of that.

My homegrown design workbook template in Excel is prettier and has a different level of detail than the CAP2 excerts. Thanks for the suggestion though...
