Reporting on a privileged path to LUN

PowerShell newbie question.

My environment has several hundred ESX hosts, of which the majority is connected to EMC SAN storage. Each logic unit number has two active/active configured paths with the default value is Path Selection of Fixed (VMware).

One of the paths is better I can find don't use the vSphere client and digging at each UNIT number, which given the number will take days so I thought I'd try and script. Thing, that's all I can manage to extract is the paths and the fact that they are fixed, but I can't extract that path is preferred.

Someone at - it an idea?

Thank you

P.S spent about 2 days of trawling the Internet and there are a lot of files on the definition of the preferred path but none on the receipt of such information in the first place.

Try it like this

{foreach ($esx in Get-VMHost)

foreach ($lun in (Get-ScsiLun - VMHost $esx)) {}

Get-ScsiLunPath - ScsiLun $lun | `

Select @{N = 'Host'; E = {$esx. Name}},@{N="LUN '; E = {$lun. CanonicalName}}, LunPath, favorite

}

}

  • See the number of paths per LUN by host

    Hello

    I saw so many scripts these days on how to check my connections of storage, but I still don't get the info for that I'm looking. I'd like to see for each host for each LUN (RDM / Datastore) the number of paths. I found scripts that show me the active paths, paths of deaths and work, but none of them helps me to see the number of paths for each host.

    The following Luke good script seems to be a good starting point, but again once it shows total by hba, that I need for each host per lun.

    $esx = get-VMHost vcdvm580.virtualcenter.lan

    foreach ($hba to (VMHostHba Get - VMHost $esx - type "FibreChannel")) {}

    $target = ((get - see $hba. VMhost). Config.StorageDevice.ScsiTopology.Adapter | where {$_.} Adapter - eq $hba. Key}). Goal

    $luns = get-ScsiLun - Hba $hba - LunType 'disk '.

    $nrPaths = ($target | % {$_.}) Lun.Count} | Measure - Object - sum). Sum

    Write-Host $hba. Device ' target: ' $target. County "devices:" $luns. County ' path: ' $nrPaths

    }

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Gabrié

    You mean something like this?

    $esxName = "MyEsx".

    $esx = get-VMHost-name $esxName

    $esxcli = get-EsxCli - VMHost $esxName

    $hba = get-VMHostHba - VMHost $esx - type FibreChannel | Select the name of ExpandProperty-

    $esxcli.storage.core.path.list () |

    Where {$hba - contains $_.} Adapter} |

    Group-object - property feature |

    Select @{N = "MON"; E={$_. Name}},@{N='#path'; E={$_. Group.Count}}

  • Policy path defined LUN

    We are doing a migration of SAN and therefore affect all current LUN MRU. Currently some of the paths are fixed and accompany the round robin, according to the SAN LUN device. As all storage hosts will now be on one device I need a script to set policies to MRU. Would this work?

    SE connect-VIServer-Server X - X user - password X

    {foreach ($hostx in get-vmhost)

    $hostview = get-views $hostx

    $storageSystem = get - see $hostview. ConfigManager.StorageSystem

    $policy = new-object VMware.Vim.HostMultipathInfoLogicalUnitPolicy

    $policy.policy = "MostRecentlyUsed".

    $storageSystem.StorageDeviceInfo.MultipathInfo.lun | foreach {$storageSystem.SetMultipathLunPolicy ($_.ID, $policy)}

    }

    It works, but why not use the cmdlet Set-ScsiLun with the parameter - MultipathPolicy.

    Get-VMHost | %{
      $_ | Get-ScsiLun -LunType Disk | Set-ScsiLun -MultipathPolicy "MostRecentlyUsed"
    }

  • path of the TestStand 4.2 file report "SpecifyByExpression" does not work

    I noticed that there is a problem in specific terms that has been fixed in 4.2.1

    Is not this problem.

    This is a problem when I select 'Specify report File Path by Expression' specify the expression to use, and then TestStand uses settings appropriate to the option "specific directory.

    I rechecked and it is quite reproducible.

    The phrase is: "\\Reports\\_ [] [] [] .xml'"

    But each time, the report file is generated by using the specific directory setting.

    Is there a solution for this?

    Thanks for any help.

    BTW, the "New Message" page on your site does not work in Opera 10.01 - I can not enter line breaks after the current line in the editor no HTML - line breaks go in front of the current line instead.

    I don't feel well in software TODAY. Entering the path expression of the report in HTML file is not my favorite activity!

    Nick-

    I'm a little confused as to what you mean. You have configured ReportOptions to specify the report by Expression file path? If so, the Locals.ReportOptions.DirectoryType property contains the string "SpecifyByExpression"? The directory 'C:\Documents and Settings\Temp\TestStand\Reports administrator' is where TestStand stores reports where the report should be saved on disk in the directory the Client's sequence file, but the file of the Client's sequence has not yet recorded on the disc.

    I followed the Locals.ReportOptions.DirectoryType and the Locals.ReportFilePath of the process template properties to check if they contain the appropriate strings.

    Determine the path of file report Expression is default SequentialModel.seq, where the expression is evaluated and the Locals.ReportFilePath property is set. You should check to see if this step is actually performed during your run and if the Locals.ReportFilePath property is on the right channel:

    I hope this helps.

  • increase the number of paths to the LUNS

    If I created an ESXI host with 2 paths to LUN now, then the storage team increse that 4 paths later, causes problems? When the paths are increased by 4, it's just a matter of a new analysis running?

    As long as your storage administrators area appriately you can rescan and see the new paths.

  • How many active paths by a LUN on the controller use Active/Active array.

    Hi all

    I have a symmetrical controller active/active table and two HBAs on the host ESXi (also two SAN switch).

    In this case, I have 4 paths per LUN, right!

    I wonder how active paths by a logic unit number exist at the same time, when I put the round robin PSP.

    and also how much marketshares of controller active/active table against active-passive array controller in production about.

  • I need the report path multi

    Hello guys,.

    In my env 10g + DB 10g, we need to run oracle report server from a path or some of the other path.

    We have now that in oracle forms, we can do that by using files different env and map these files env to sections of formsweb.cfg. In this case, we can separate our test and prod case record forms

    So anyway is that we can separate the rdf files?

    The main problem is in regedit only, we can define the rdf (REPORTS_PATH) path. But when things come to have the same name of rdf in two files: test and prod, the first condition in the regedit value will be taken into account.

    Is there anyway we can choose the rdf if section formweb.cfg is test or prod?

    Thanks for the help
    Joe

    You can configure the paths file rdf/rep for different environments in the following file:

    *.conf fichier.*






    and in the url, add

    EnvId = Dev
    or
    EnvId = Test

  • CF Storage ALUA, LUN trespassing and some doubts

    Hello!

    First of all thank you all for this great community!

    I'm setting up a cluster of small vSphere 5.5 and everything seems to be ok, but I have my doubts that I want to share. The configuration is the following:

    VMware ESX 5.5u2 with two single HBA Emulex 8 G. (Host_HBA1 and Host_HBA2)

    NetApp E2724 FC 8 G (two ports per controller) dual controller and configuration active theorytically. (Controller1_Port1, Controller1_Port2, Controller2_Port1, Controller2_Port2)

    Two switches from Brocade s300 with single initiator zoning for multiple targets (Switch1: Host_HBA1 Controller1_Port1 and Controller2_Port1 and Switch2: Host_HBA2 Controller1_Port2 and Controller2_Port2)

    Wiring seems to be OK and vSphere detects 4 paths per LUN, defines the driver seat automatically Robin and defines two active paths (e/s) and the other two as Active.

    In the Netapp LUNS are configured as LUN in VMware O.S. (they are Dinamic disk pools Volumes) and TRA seems to be enable for this kind of host.

    Well, I tried different tests (Storage VMotion between different LUNS, VMware IO monitor, create and delete virtual machines...) and everything seems to work smoothly. Strange behavior only I noticed is that when you create the storage system volumes, they are assigned to one or the other controller, and they have a "preferred owner" (ALUA). When, for example, I make a storage VMotion between two data warehouses (I have a store of data by logical unit number) and that LUN have different "privileged" controllers (LUN1 in Controller1 and LUN2 to Controller2) I noticed that the LUN2 is automatically moved to the Controller1. I don't know if this is normal behavior to improve performance or I have some configuration problem (I have a message in the journal of NetApp storage which States: I/O volume shipment implicit transfer and eventually an alarm logic unit number is not in the controller preferred). I guess the multi-channel driver using AVT to send the LUN to the same controller, but as I said, I don't know if this is normal. Would be nice if someone can clarify this point. The Storage VMotion finished well and no disk problem appears.

    Thanks again for your time!

    NetApp's official response is that they are aware of the problem and it will be fixed in a future firmware version.

  • batch in separate folder report

    Hello

    I have a requirement where all reports batch to be store in a separate folder as where reports of the UUT is stored.

    Can help a whole on into that?

    regads,

    River V

    River-

    As Ray suggested, the best way to accomplish this would be to leverage reports specify based on Expressions introduced in TestStand 4.2. To help you get started, here are some steps to help you get started.

    The following steps will create a batch report directory and USE it in the same directory as your file of the Client's sequence:

    ' 1. go in configure "Options report.

    2. in the dialog box Options report, go to the tab report file Pathname.

    3. in the section build the path to the report file, select specify the report by Expression file path in the Options/directory of the names of files drop-down list box.

    4. the path to the report file (model batch) will determine the location of your report USE and the path of the batch file will determine the location of your batch file.

    5. set these two fields as shown in the screenshot below.

  • conditional statement file path

    Our project is using TestStand 2012 SP1.

    We use reportgen_txt.seq. and SequentialModel (.seq).

    My goal is to save report files in a specific directory only when I run my Self_Test.seq.

    I'm trying to use configure > Report Options > build the path to the report file.

    In the dialog "Options report" > tab "build the path to the report file:

    Model type: sequential

    Options/file names directory: specify the path to file report with Expression

    It is the expression that I use:

    "" == "Self_Test" ? " "C:\\Reports\\Self-test\\_Report [] [] []." : « C:\\Reports\\\\_Report [] [] []."

    Education passes check of the syntax "without error".

    Self_Test.SEQ running using the sequence editor, the report file always goes to the path in red.

    Is there a method to achieve this?

    Hi Leroy/jigg,

    You are right, that the expression itself is evaluated before the Macro strings are resolved, while this approach does not work.  Macros are evaluated using modelsupport2.dll (function DetermineReportFilePathNameExprEx), which has first evaluates the expression before resolving macros. To implement a path expression of personalized report for a particular customer file file, I would recommend substituting the ReportOptions reminder, and then programmatically defining the expression of path of report, using an expression such as:

    Parameters.ReportOptions.ReportFileSequentialModelExpression = ' \"MyCustomLocation\\_Report [] []. . \""

    Note the use of double quotation marks, because the field is a field of expression.  This approach will also allow you to use logic in the reminder to change the path of file report TestStand flow control string making.

  • Can I change the name of the object to measure report

    Hi, I'm new to TS! Can I change the name of the object to measure report? Who can help me. Thanks in advance!

    «Under normal circumstances, I finished the test USE, TS generated the report like this "report [13-29-06] [4F492CAB04] [2012-11-28] .html'.»

    Can I change something, when TS report will like this"report [13-29] [4F492CAB04] [2012-11-28] .html' without seconds!

    One way is to modify the process template.

    Locals.ReportFilePath saves the name of the report. You can access only functions (such as SerachAndReplace) to create the new ReportFilePath.

    In the model sequential process step determine the path of the report file provides the path to the report file using the report options settings. Custom code can be placed after this step.
