Getting Enabled tracks from EMC Sym with Solution Enabler 7.4 for Thin Pools
Hi
I want to understand how can I get the value for Enabled Tracks from EMC Symmetrix with Solution Enabler 7.4. Command which we are using is
For XML output :
symcfg -sid 000190300343 list -pool -thin -detail -all -mb -output xml_element_.xml
Otherwise:
symcfg -sid 000190300343 list -pool -thin -detail -all -mb
Earlier with Solution Enabler 7.2, we were directly getting it in the output as below where there is a separate column for Enabled Tracks:
Symmetrix ID: 000190300343
S Y M M E T R I X T H I N P O O L S
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pool Dev Dev Total Enabled Alloc Alloc Subs

Total -------- -------- -------- ----- -----
MBs 232341168 232341168 68916888 29 341
whereas the output from Sym Array with Solution Enabler 7.4 is as below:
Symmetrix ID: 000194900432
S Y M M E T R I X T H I N P O O L S
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legend:
(P)ool Type:
S = Snap, R = Rdfa DSE T = Thin
(T)echnology:
S = SATA, F = Fibre Channel, E = Enterprise Flash Drive, M = Mixed, - = N/A
Dev (E)mulation:
F = FBA, A = AS400, 8 = CKD3380, 9 = CKD3390, - = N/A
(S)tate:
E = Enabled, D = Disabled, B = Balancing
Disk (L)ocation:
I = Internal, X = External, M = Mixed, - = N/A
Please advise how I can get Enabled Tracks with SE-7.4. Also we are getting the output in XML format as below for SE-7.4. Here I do not see any flags PTSEL which would help me understand if state is 'Enabled'. Kindle advise.

use -detail syntax, you will see the "Usable MBs"
symcfg list -thin -pool -all -mb -sid xxx -detail

Hi naren23-3.uew
The "Usable MBs" column in SE 7.4 should be the same as "Enabled MB" in SE 7.2 in your case

You can also use the -mode option in the symcfg list output to get the output in the format of an earlier version. To get the same format as version 7.2, you can run
symcfg list -thin -pool -mode v72

Thanks for the solutions.
I will be trying both the solutions using "Usable MBs" column in SE 7.4 and using mode and see which fits into my application the best.

Thanks Fenglin. Regarding using "Usable MBs" to get value for "Enabled Tracks", can we directly use the value as is or we need to check against the FLags and use it only when Flag status shows Enabled. What would be the value in "Usable MBs" when the Flags column has Status as Disabled or Balancing?
Please advise.
