You can use USM to open SPCollects

Does USM do what the CAP tool used to? I also have some VMax arrays, do you know if there is a tool for that?

Thanks.

Never used CAP as it was for EMC/Partners only. For VMAX as a partner/EMC you could probably get a copy of the bin file, other than that look into Unisphere for VMAX ..see if there are any export options. EMC SRM ?

As a customer, the best tool for config documentation is the System Configuration Report tool in USM, imo.

Every detail, versioned, organized and easy to use.

Is it possible to trigger the xml report generation with naviseccli?

Thank you Brett@S, yeah I think I'm going to stick whit USM for now it does the same thing as old CAP tool. I was avoiding it because the restrictions we have on the management servers, but thats something I have to workout whit our server guys.

@dynamox - Thank you.

You can use the below command to generate the file.

naviseccli -address X.X.X.X -user sysadmin -password sysadmin -scope 0 arrayconfig -capture -output C:\arrayconfig.xml

Just to build on that, if you plan to automate/script it, use powershell to stamp the processed date into the filename to assist with cataloging and organizing.

$configName = "SERIAL_" + $(date -f ddMMyyyy)+".xml" ; naviseccli -h arrayspaddress arrayconfig -capture -output c:\EMCFILES\Configs\$configName

Change SERIAL to the array serial number or hostname, arrayspaddress, and change the date format (above is in ENG/AU) and output location as required.

-- assuming you have a security file setup, otherwise add user/pass/scope to above

Output location will look like this;
