Hi All,
Some SAN Environments that I manage has lots of Hosts connected to Storage Arrays. It is difficult to manage them through documenting. Any command or script which will show me the Host Group Names. This will help me in automating most of the daily work.
Thanks,
Avradeep Bhattacharya
If you're using HCS you can use the HiCommandCLI
Use: GetStorageArray subtarget=HostStorageDomain to get hostgroups
(A HSD is a host group in HDvM)
Use: GetHost and GetHostInfo to get information about discovered hosts
If you don't have HCS, let us know what platform you're using.
Cris Danci GetStorageArray subtarget=HostStorageDomain is returning details as expected but even if I try to localize the searh to a particular storage array by providing serial number its not doing it. It is still returning the Host Storage Details of all the Storage Devices
Make sure you're passing both serialnum= and model=
Does someone have custom reports for Tuning manager to share and example of the CLI CMDS and configuration examples for CLI
Example of locking the array, changing label on LDEV, creating two host groups, adding WWNs to host groups, allocating LUN, and setting host mode options. Commands are long so watch for line wraps below. Also attached them as attachment. Also Commands are being executed on a VSP (R700).
Also my credentials and URL to HCS server is configured in my properties file so I don't have to specify them every time.
I use the included reports in tuning manager 7.6. They work great. (See attachment.) These reports must be imported to use. You also have to be running at minimum agent for raid 7.2 I believe.

Thanks for the list of commands. I created a script to do the exact same thing, but I faced an issue while supplying port number. Your portname parameter actually might help me circumnavigate the issue I am having.
Thanks for the reply
Use -o xml to get the output in XML and then import the file in XL. You can then apply filters to narrow in on the information.
Outputting execution results in XML format
To output the execution results of the GetStorageArray command in XML
format, specify xml for the -f or --format option. Specify xml by using
lowercase letters.
The execution results are output to the standard output. To output the
execution results to an XML file, add the -o or --output option. Alternatively,
specify that the results be redirected to a file.
The -f or --format option can be specified only when the GetStorageArray
command is used.
