There a section on the SDK manual that details the "Monitoring Functions"; in particular you should experiment with FPMonitor_GetDiscoveryStream which *may* return all of the information you need (along with a LOT of other stuff which you will not need).
I should caution you however that these monitoring functions (referred to collectively as the 'MOPI' API) and only supported on CentraStar. If your customer were to move to one of EMC's newer CAS implementations (Atmos-CAS or ViPR-CAS/ECS) the MOPI functions would not be available.
In my opinion, implementing this feature is likely more trouble than it is worth. You cold choose to implement a less comprehensive 'system information' display using the information returned by FPPool.getPoolInfo() which AFAIK is supported on all EMC CAS implementations.
As a side note, it would be very interesting to hear a description of your application. It's quite unusual for a Centera app to display such detailed system information to the user.
