Reload Uni Perf Data after Decom

Question

Hi Guys,

Hope to get a hand here.

I have a frame that has been Decommed but it still shows up on the cli. I have exported the perf data out of unisphere for it and uninstalled - Re-installed uni to 8.2 version. The issue is that i can't re-discover the Decommed frame in uni to run a restore of the perf data into unisphere.

Does anyone have any ideas on how one might go about doing this?

We need to be able to look back on the old perf data.

i am not sure if it's related but i wonder if you had a backup copy of symapi_db.bin file from when the array was still online. Put that in place and see if it re-discovers.

How did you export the perf data out of UNI? BTP or UPV?

You might be able to get EMC to look at it offline if your SE has knowledge/access of the tool. That is if you just want to load the data and look at the old data.

Hi Guys,

The Performance data was Backed up. Not exported. and the symapi_db.bin file currently can still see the decommed frame. So the backup file contains the SQL data but because Uni can not directly find the array i am trying to find a way of offlineing the uni discovery and only look at the symapi_db.bin file. once uni can see the array then the import should not be an issue.

The old array has been shipped back to EMC so presenting gk's just isn't going to happen.

so even though the symap_db.bin file is still here, that array is not displayed  in Unisphere ?

That is correct. The symapi_db.bin is there and it lists the decommed array, But uni will not find it. I even tried flicking on symaip offline in the daemon options file to stop uni from actually doing a discover and only read the aip_db. epic failure......
