SE VMAX Collect All Script

Question

Hi All,

I was wondering if somebody had a perl or shell script that collects all the configuration of the VMAX, IG's, SG's, Lun Information etc in either a text file or a html file for later reviewing. I am looking to track changes to our vmax and I find it hard to believe a script like this does not exist. I could write something, but if somebody already has something, that would be most appreciated.

I have asked Support and one does not seem to exist.

I would run the script on Linux using the cli.

Regards,

EMCgrab (and EMCreports for windows) does exactly that. You will get CLI outputs for what you are after, as well as a copy of the symapi_db.bin and a backup of the symacces database (latest version). Many CLI commands can also be run against these files if there is a CLI output you want but not in the grab output.

Download EMCgrab and EMC reports from support.emc.com/downloads

Can someone fast track me by providing a Windows Grab command example that only includes the options required to capture the Symmetrix configuration information.

Also can’t we upload this captured information up to EMC E-Lab Advisor and get a spreadsheet output of the configuration?

I really need to equivalent output of the Clariion ‘Audit’ report available in USM.

There is an option to skip the Symmetrix configuration in emcreport collection but not sure if there is a way to just collect the symm configuration. The emcreport when run without any flag, collects the symm config.

rgards,

There are no options to just collect the EMC array config, but you can minimise the other collections with: EMCRPTS_X64_V42.EXE /C:'EMCRPT.CMD -NFCINFO -NOERM -NOP -NNT -NMSD'
