Datastore/RDM MultiPath Policy Reporting

[energizer08]

I'm looking to create a fairly complex .csv datastore report - containing the following data/columns:

DataCenter  |  Cluster  |  Hostname (short name, not FQDN  |  Identification (datastore name,  if not datastore identify as RDM  |  Canonical Name   |  Lun # |   MPP Policy   |   Vendor

I know this data can be obtained with several different commands,  however putting it all together into a single report is another challenge...

Any help would be appreciated...

Have a look at Re: Help displaying datastore information

It will already give you the way to link between a datastore and the canonical names of the LUNs behind it.

Thanks,  that was a good start..    There are two more features that would be extremely helpful if feasible:

-  Include both RDMs and datastores in the report,  preferably in the same column: if it's a datastore,  list the data-store name,  if it's and RDM,  just annotate as "RDM"

-  Include the LUN number in the report

My LUN report – datastore, RDM and node visibility post shows a script that does this datastore/RDM reporting.

Adding the LUN number is not too difficult, since it it contained in the LUN object.

The Lun Report is very close to what I need..  I'm trying to expand the LunInfoDef array by adding the multipathpolicy and vendor data to it -  however am running into a roadblock..   Further breakdown on adding the Lun # would be helpful as well..   Any pointers would be appreciated...

I use a variation on that script that displays the LUNid in the matric (instead of the text).

Give that one a try

Thanks LucD for sharing your expertise - great stuff!

How hard would it be to add multipathing policy to this script as well?
