listing device/Host/Storage Port/Host PWWN

We have a tool, Sanscreen, that produces a report that lists for a given frame a masking report. The report shows the LunID, Host attached, FA the Lun is mapped to, and the Host PWWN. IE:
LUN SERVER FA WWN
1234 SERVERA 7A:0 50060b0000111111
1234 SERVERA 10A:0 50060b0000222222
1235 SERVERB 8A:0 50060b0000444444
1235 SERVERB 9A:0 50060b0000555555
I have been tring to find a symdev or symmaskdb command that it is using to get this data, but can't seem to come up with one. I never trust a GUI so I would like to be able to run directly against the vcmdb. "symdev -sid list" will show all the devices, but not the server/fa/wwn. "symmaskdb -sid list database kind of shows it but not really. I really can't find one that preduces the same output.

i am not sure if this is exactly what you want but could you for example run something like this:

symmaskdb -sid 123 list capacity -host oracle_SMS

and the output would be look something like :


Symmetrix ID      : 0000000000123
 
Host Name         : oracle_SMS
 
Identifiers Found : 20000005e600b5c2

so if you have your systems named in the vcm database you could generate this report per host. Not sure if that's what you are looking for.

I remember hearing about this product.
From what I remember that it scans you SAN switches and gets all zones.
From the zone name pattern it can find the hostname.
After you have the hostname and its PWWN, it's pretty easy to parse the rest of the info from the 'symmaskdb list database'.
Or it can just connect to your ECC to get it...

Hey, isn't ECC a "dirty word" here in the SE Forum? ;-)

It's like talking about GUIs to the poor saps that manage our mainframe environment *lol*

Dynamox, you are correct that symmaskdb .... list capacity will show the FA:P the lun is assigned to, it does not show which wwn is assigned to each FA:P. Sure I can go get that. i was just hoping there was one command so I could scrape the output and script the lun removals.

symmaskdb -sid 123 list capacity -host oracle_SMS


Dynamox - just stumbled across this posting when searching for other information and tried this command out - I am loving that command - so simple - but really affective.

Cheers.

Seems we have some useful info here, marking appropriately.

BTW:
"Hey, isn't ECC a "dirty word" here in the SE Forum?"

Yes, it is.;\

Everyone knows that gui is something that should be on the inside of a chocolate bar, and nothing to do with computers! :D
