Hi all,
I've been asked to document a load of 3PAR systems for a new customer. So this means running a load of CLI to gather the config. It's then i remembered that this stuff gets done on the SP automatically and uploaded. After some googling I found the following documunt.
https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public ... kc-0126495Its basically the process to get these files off manually. I'm guessing this bz2 (Tar file ) i believe will contain all sorts of useful output.
I had two questions off the back of this.
1. How do you get this info out of a 5.x SP which now looks quite different. Haven't found it so far but I'll keep looking.
<edit - located the files dialogue - now need to try a few different files.
2. I notice that on NinjaStars (
https://saf.itcs.hpe.com/safdesktop/info/stars/) there's an option to import BZ2 config files for 3PAR.
Does anyone know if you can use the exports from the SP and import them into NinjaStars to give you a nice summary of what the hardware is. Definitely useful when producing documentation that's for sure.
Anyhow, any advice appreciated. If it's a case of running a whole load of 'show' commands fair enough but figured it was worth asking.
< update >
got some files off an 5.x SP. Took a collection (SRDATA) File.
Seems to contains some text and .db files which sadly are not importable to NinjaStars. It looks like an SQLLite Database file so may try importing it into that.
....
and yes the files are SQLite format.
Having unpacked the SRDATA i end up with two .db files called SRMain and Export_HiRes.
Export_HiRes does indeed contain lots of stat output which you can interrogate with your favourite DB tool. Now just need to find which one of these contains other useful data.
If the meantime and useful advice welcome.
thanks
