Managed Device Detail Node Attributes

The following attributes are available for the Managed Device Detail Node (UNIX platform only):

  • instance - the name of the pseudo device (e.g. emcpowere)
  • invista_id - the Invista ID for the pseudo device
  • clariion_id - the Clariion ID for the pseudo device (e.g. CK200072300364 [iul-sybdb02-03b] )
  • logical_device_id - the logical ID for the pseudo device (e.g. 6006016021B11C00100BF85CB7DBDC11 [LUN 708] )
  • symmetrix_id - the Symmetrix ID for the pseudo device
  • path_mappings - a list of active hwpath to i/o path mappings (e.g. [[doc:xwiki:IT-Operations-Management.Discovery.BMC-Discovery.Configipedia.What-you-can-discover.Product-Publishers.EMC-publisher.EMC-PowerPath.EMC-PowerPath-Reports-Attributes.'hba=3','hwpath=lpfc','iopath=sdaa', 'storif=SP A0','mode=active'],['hba=4','hwpath=lpfc','iopath=sdax','storif=SP A3','mode=active'],['hba=4','hwpath=lpfc','iopath=sdbu','storif=SP B0','mode=active'],['hba=3','hwpath=lpfc','iopath=sdd','storif=SP B3','mode=active']] )
  • active_paths - a list of active i/o paths (e.g. ['sdaa','sdax','sdbu','sdd'] )

Reports

The following Generic Search query can be used in ADDM to report on the attributes of the managed devices detail nodes attached to the SI.

Reporting on Devices Managed by EMC PowerPath

For EMC PowerPath running on Unix platforms (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris and Linux), the current pattern attempts to retrieve information about devices being managed. The information can then be reported on by showing a row for each managed device (i.e. the rest of the Host and SI information is duplicated)

SEARCH Host
EXPAND Host:HostedSoftware:RunningSoftware:SoftwareInstance WHERE type='EMC PowerPath Server'
EXPAND ElementWithDetail:Detail:Detail:Detail where type = "EMC PowerPath Managed Pseudo Device"
SHOW #:::Host.name, #:::SoftwareInstance.type, #:::SoftwareInstance.product_version, #:::SoftwareInstance.version,
type, instance, logical_device_id, clariion_id, invista_id, symmetrix_id, active_paths, path_mappings
