Get Volume details with their respective CG names

Hi,

You can open putty, ssh to any RPA/Cluster IP and login as admin.

get_group_volumes

get_san_volumes

get_volume_states

you can filter and save the output in a file accordingly.

Good Luck

Hi BK,

Use the plink utility to output the data as follows:

c:\>plink -ssh xx.xx.xx.xx (Site/Cluster Mgmt IP address) -l admin -pw password save_settings –xml > save_settings.xml

Hi Rich,

Above command is to save the output which I can also do it from Putty. I am looking for some command to get the volume and its associated CG names in one single output for all RPA cluster 2000+ volumes.

Thanks Mohammad but these commands output in such a way which is difficult to filter or put in some organized way. We have approx 2000+ volumes and its difficult to work with these outputs.

Do you know any other way to get these details?

What I advised is far better. Don’t use putty. Using the save_settings CLI command with plink does export the whole of the RP config but you can import it into Excel and then delete the info rows you don’t need. There is a section in the config that is specific to the CGs.

Just did and got the output but surprising to me is that there are no volume names in that file. It represents them with UID and UID#.

So if the LUN name is needed then you have to defer to the get_group_volumes or get_san_volumes CLI commands. The LUN name was removed from the save_settings command at 4.0 if my memory serves me correctly, which I admit is annoying.

Yea, it is achievable by combining and applying vlookup from multiple files but I was looking for some simple output like in VPLEX if you do "ll" on virtual volumes then you get very organized output and same can be exported to excel easily.

I will wait if someone has some magic way of doing it , otherwise extracting Rset output from GUI is much easier for me, though I have to browse through all 90+ groups

I agree with Rich, get_group_volumes is the best bet here since it can run on all CGs, across clusters with the -n parameter while get_san_volumes is a cluster-wide command.

I would recommend to parse the output of "get_group_volumes -n -xml", you can wrap it in a script which will write to a CSV file with the appropriate volume type (replication or journal) as well as the appropriate volume details - such as device ID (vendor specific), array ID, size etc.

If you need something fast, you can grep the output XML file in the following manner:

# ssh admin@10.0.0.1 "get_group_volumes -n -xml" > group_volumes_xml.txt

# cat group_volumes_xml.txt | grep -e "GroupVolumesOutput key=" -e "

The below could be helpful (I used RedHat Linux OS to get the required information):

Login to any redhat server and execute the following:
