Powershell Scripts for EMC Performance Statistics block/NAS (updated)

Question

This thread is going to be the home of the updated Powershell scripts for collecting stats from the Unified/VNX EMC arrays.  The focus over the past months on improvements has been aimed at newer EMC technology such as Pools and FASTCache with an eye towards VMware vCenter Operations.  We have stats for Pools, Pool Tiers (raid groups that make up Pools), Raid Groups, Disks, and traditional LUNs. The latest version includes some awesome new features mainly geared at providing richer, more standardized (modeled from Analyzer names), and more natively compatible with VMware vCOps (1.0.1 required for multiple arrays and relationships).  In addition it was mostly rewritten from a data calculation perspective, and gives the flexibility of choosing what level of granularity to collect on (whether purely SPs, or things like LUNs and disks). There is also a goodie included (ps_navi_correlate_datastore_uuid) that is useful for vCOps and non-vCOps environments which does a correlation between Unified/VNX block LUN names and their VMware counterpart names. # This command does a collection (NAS) and posts it to vCOps v5+ (UPDATED 05/29/12) .\get_unified_nas_perf.ps1 -username nasadmin -password abc -csip controlstationip -devicename VNX06 -resourcedescription VNX06 -vcopsip vcopsip -protocol https -vcopsuser username -vcopspass pass -post # This command does a collection (block) and posts it to vCOps v5+ (optional -eng engpass) .\get_unified_block_perf.ps1 -username sysadmin -password sysadmin -scope 0 -spaip spaip -spbip spbip -vcopsip vcopsip -protocol https -vcopsuser xxx -vcopspass xxx  -devicename 'CX4-1' -resourcedescription 'EMC CX' -showluns -showdisks -showrgs -showpooltiers  -showpooltierrgs -showpools -showarraysummary -post -timeout 120 # Run this for correlation information, requires that you specify -vcserver, -vcusername, -vcpassword, or have logged into VC through PowerCLI already .\ps_navi_correlate_datastore_uuid.ps1 -username sysadmin -password sysadmin -scope 0 -spip spip -devicename VNX01 # This command configures internal relationships between EMC resources, ie.

'The system cannot locate the resource specified.' This error seems to be caused by an invalid vCOps IP or a web service that isn't running on the vCOps server.

clintonskitson · Answer

The destination vCOps server specified with -vcopsip was not correct, or possibly the httpost adapter was not running.

Clinton,

Do you know if ps_navi_correlate_datastore_uuid.ps1 works with vSphere 5 and PPVE? When I was troubleshooting it looks like "[array]$arrMILuns = $configStorageSystem.StorageDeviceInfo.MultipathInfo.Lun" is an empty array.

Thanks,

Joe

Matt,I would be interested to see what it is returning since even looking at the MOB I don't have a result.Also see this text in vSphere SDK reference.http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc_50/vim.host.MultipathInfo.htmlStorage devices using the native multipathing storage plugin will have an entry in this data object. Storage devices provided by a different storage plugin will not appear in the inventory represented by this data object.

mattcowger1 · Answer

It works with my Lab with vSphere 5 and PP/VE.

EMC VNXe Support.

In your original post on setting this up you attached a ppt that stated that the VNXe was supported.

https://community.emc.com/thread/126637

I have been trying to get my VNXe to send metrics to my vCOps instance for 2 or 3 days now with no luck. From reading the scripts I only see the use of the navisphere cli, unless I missed something. What I understand about the VNXe system is that it does not support navi cli. Is there a tweak that I need to make to the powershell command to get this to work for me?

Help.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone tried using this script with the VNXe?

Anyone?

DaGrin · Answer

Clinton, are these scripts the basis for the EMC VNX Connector which will provide VNX storage metrics within VMware vCenter Operations? John

clintonskitson · Answer

John,

Short answer here, is no. These scripts provide some great functionality in the short term, but the VNX connector on release will be a fully supported vCOps plugin rewritten to be native to vCOps. These scripts leverage vCOps open interface and a dedicated collection platform to get stats into vCOps.

Doesn't look like you replaced 'spaip' and 'sbpip' with the IP addresses of your SPs....

BMcDonald74 · Answer

Here is the command I'm running when I get the error. I have the IP's listed.

.\get_unified_block_perf.ps1 -username XXXXX -password XXXXX -scope 0 -spaip 10.6.4.10 -spbip 10.6.4.11 -vcopsip 10.6.2.226 -protocol https -vcopsuser XXXXX -vcopspass XXXXX -devicename "ADCSAN401" -resourcedescription "ADC EMC CX4" -showluns -showdisks -showrgs -showpooltiers -showpooltierrgs -showpools -showarraysummary -post -timeout 180

edgoad · Answer

I walked through the process you described, but I think I am having problems with the relationships. I ran the get_unified_block_perf.ps1 script with the -showrelationships switch and I see it outputing the relationships between Raidgroups, LUNs, and disks, but I dont see any relationships containing the SPs or SANs. Am I doing something wrong?

Also you show 5 example commands (1 for NAS, 1 for block performance, and 3 for relationships). Are all of these needed? A few of them look redundant
