| Post subject: | Script to remove all virtual volumes |
Hello, I'm looking for the fastest way to remove all virtual volumes from 3par from cli. I'm running a demo environment so I need to remove all created volumes once in a while. If i use "removevv -f -pat * " does it remove .srdata and admin volumes too or is that impossible? I'm new with this stuff. Thank you in advance! |

Test it with the -dr (dry run) option to see if they are included. Too bad there is not an option to remove by ID# with a pattern. |

Its not looking good for the "-pat *" option. Code: SS7400 cli% showvv --Rsvd(MB)--- -(MB)- Id Name Prov Type CopyOf BsId Rd -Detailed_State- Adm Snp Usr VSize 1 .srdata full base --- 1 RW normal 0 0 81920 81920 0 admin full base --- 0 RW normal 0 0 10240 10240 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 total 0 0 92160 92160 SS7400 cli% removevv -dr -pat * Dry run : removevv -ld admin Dry run : removevv -ld .srdata Frustrating... so I cracked the book: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/h ... .492883150 Page 12 covers glob-style pattern matching... however it does not appear that 3PAR implemented an option to exclude. So this pattern will kill anything that starts with a CAPTIAL A-Z, lowercase b-z, or a number... but will leave behind anything that starts with a or non-alphanumeric. Perhaps a start that you can tweak to meet your goal. Code: SS7400 cli% removevv -dr -pat \[A-Zb-z0-9\]*
No matching vvs |

Thank you very much this is just what I was looking for! I also tried to look for the exclusion logic but couldn't find anything... I also tried to run the -pat * as "edit" user who has access to all domains. It doesn't show .srdata and admin volumes when you list the volumes but it tries to delete them when you enter the * pattern. If you choose "yes", it will not allow you to remove the disks but I guess it's not really best practice trying to erase critical disks five times a day. Thanks again! |
