SnapView CLI Question for Clones

Question

Short of looking at the event logs of a CLARiiON, does anyone know if there's a way to see either which clone in a clone group was most recently fractured or which clone had been fractured the furthest back in time?

I'm writing a script to determine this, I can do it with some parsing of the event logs, but I'd sure rather do it with a snapview command or some easier method if possible. I can't see how to determine this from the Navisphere Manager GUI either without looking at the logs.

If I do the following, I get no information about when the clone had been fractured:

naviseccli ¿address [IP of SP] snapview -listclone -name CloneGrp1

Example output:

Name: CloneGrp1
CloneGroupUid: 50:06:01:60:C1:E0:48:08:01:00:00:00:00:00:00:00

CloneID: 0200000000000000
CloneState: Consistent
CloneCondition: Administratively Fractured
AvailableForIO: Yes
CloneMediaFailure: No
IsDirty: No
IsFractured: Yes

No reply? I guess that means no one knows of an easier way to find this.

might have to add logging functionality to your clone/snap scripts.

Yeah, I have that now. I can look to see what the last one was that I fractured; I can also look at the CLARiiON event logs to see if anyone has fractured one manually since the last script run. I was just looking for an easier way to do it (via NaviCLI would be nice).

I do the same thing for Snapshots, but there I can just name the Session by date and time, so it's much easier.

do you destroy your clone groups after snapview operations ? I was wondering if you could do the same thing that you do with snaps ...when you create a clone group ..give it appropriate name ? But i have to agree ..naviseccli has ways to go to catch up with Solutions Enabler.
