This script is developed to help UNIX/Storage Specialist/Managers reporting their VMAX storage utilization in a granular and non debatable manner for higher management, also will help in the capacity management for long term, it can be imported as text to excel sheet then total capacities calculate make graphs.
In my case I'm automating the loading of this data to oracle database, also installed application server with Apache and PHP with oracle instant support to pull and display statistics from the database server.
The output file of the script is nine columns which are:

The output file of the script is nine columns which are:
- Storage Group name which is inside the Masking View
- Assigned Tier1, the assigned space from the first tier
- Utilized Tier1, the actual Utilized space from the first tier
- Assigned Tier2, the assigned space from the second tier
- Utilized Tier2, the actual Utilized space from the second tier
- Assigned Tier3, the assigned space from the third tier
- Utilized Tier3, the actual Utilized space from the third tier
- Assigned Tier4, the assigned space from the fourth tier
- Utilized Tier4, the actual Utilized space from the fourth tier
Note: the script is developed with four tiers (thin pools) in mind, so modifications are needed for more or less tiers.

ReplyDeletethanks darling ;)
DeleteSamir, this is great. Appreciate your efforts is sharing these with your readers. I am on a Script collection mission for VMAX,VNX and Brocade/Cisco fabric switches. If you have any other scripts or if you or your reader know of any other sites where they have listed scripts then please list here so that we can all benefit.
ReplyDeleteOne more suggestion. It would have been better if instead of actual utilized space we display percentage utilized. This will give a more clearer picture especially for those utilization that have exceeded 90%. But we can still customize this if we want.
Thanks again.

Thank you, I will try to share relevant scripts as much as I can.
DeleteAbout the percentage I think you are right about the visibility, but in too many cases percentage doesn't answer questions like 'where is the 200 TB upgrade has gone', in that case you have to break down with real figures, and in the same time as I said my script is working as the data acquisition mechanism of the whole system, so the visibility is taken care of in the application side using PHP graph library which enables drawing graph for those figures.
Can you please share the script? I do not see on your blog?
