Array-XRay

A tool to provide an inventory of your EMC VPLEX, VMAX and IBM SVC arrays

Purpose

This tool can manage EMC VPLEX, VMAX and IBM SVC/FlashSystem arrays.

On EMC VPLEX systems you can inventory:

• All Cluster's information
• List of all initiators
• List of all volumes
• List of all Storage Views
• List of all backend Storage arrays

On EMC VMAX systems you can inventory:

• All System's information
• List of Thin Pools (for VMAX-2 family)
• List of TDEVs
• List of SRPs (for VMAX-3 family)
• List of Initiators
• List of Masking Views
• List of Hosts
• List of Host Groups
• List of Port Groups
• List of Storage Groups
• List of FAST Policies (for VMAX-2 family)

On IBM SVC systems you can inventory:

• List of all SVC systems
• List of all Vdisks/Volumes
• List of all Pools/Managed disks groups
• List of all Hosts
• List of all host mapping relations
• List of fabric details
• List of nodes details
• List of declared users

The inventory file generated by this tool is an excel file. New formats will be added as needed (especially ElasticSearch).

Dependencies

This tool use several module that you can find in the file requirements.txt.

EMC VPLEX

Usage

[jbrt@localhost]$ ./vplex-xray.py --help
usage: vplex-xray.py [-h] -c CONFIG -p PATH -f FILE [-d]

Vplex-XRay - Tool for Inventory a VPLEX

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        config file
  -p PATH, --path PATH  path to store file
  -f FILE, --file FILE  name of the file
  -d, --debug           enable debug mode

Example

[jbrt@locahost]$ ./vplex-xray.py --config conf.txt --path . --file VPLEX.xlsx

End of data extraction VPlex(https://172.16.15.31:443/vplex)

Configuration file

Here is the syntax of the configuration file needed by this tool :

[NAME_OF_VPLEX]
    address = IP_ADDRESS
    user = username
    password = password

You can add all the VPLEXs you need.

EMC VMAX

For collecting data on VMAXs this tool use the REST API of UNIPSHERE for VMAX. You must use version 8.x at least.

Usage

[jbrt@localhost]$ ./vmax-xray.py --help
usage: vmax-xray.py [-h] -c CONFIG -p PATH -f FILE [-d]

VMAX-XRay - Tool for Inventory a VMAX array

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        config file
  -p PATH, --path PATH  path to store file
  -f FILE, --file FILE  name of the file
  -d, --debug           enable debug mode

Example

[jbrt@locahost]$ ./vmax-xray.py --config conf.txt --path . --file VMAX.xlsx
Initializing a Excel workbook (VMAX.xlsx)

End of data extraction 000298700609

Configuration file

Here is the syntax of the configuration file needed by this tool :

[YOUR_SYMMETRIX_ID]
    address = IP_ADDRESS_OF_UNISPHERE
    user = username
    password = password

You can add all the VMAXs you need.

IBM SVC / FlashSystem

Usage

[jbrt@localhost]$ ./svc-xray.py --help
usage: svc-xray.py [-h] -c CONFIG -p PATH -f FILE [-d]

SVC-XRay - Tool for Inventory a SVC/FlashSystem Array

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        config file
  -p PATH, --path PATH  path to store file
  -f FILE, --file FILE  name of the file
  -d, --debug           enable debug mode

Example

This example :

[jbrt@locahost]$ ./svc-xray.py -c ibm.txt -p . --file IBM.xlsx
Initializing a Excel workbook (IBM.xlsx)

Inventory: SVC_PRD

Will produce this Excel file :

Configuration file

Here is the syntax of the configuration file needed by this tool :

[NAME_OF_SVC]
    address = IP_ADDRESS
    user = username (SSH)
    password = password

You can add all the SVCs you need.

TODO

There is a lot of work ahead ! This is a first release of that tool. Many new features will come depending on the needs. Here is some of ideas :

• Adding support of the VMAX arrays (merge from my project Vmax-XRay) done
• Adding new inventory format (load data into ElasticSearch, for example)

Feel free to contribute if you want.
