Automatable VV size CSV output

[NickSpencer]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to export the virtual volume information (Name of VLUn, Provisioned size, thin size) - all the items that are on the Management Console virtual volume tab from my F400 array. There is a button to export the data to CSV which gives me what I need, but no automatable way to output the data. Even System reported cannot schedule this output for me.
Is anyone able to assist with a powershell script that would pull the data I require? it would allow me to run as a windows scheduled task on a monthly basis to get the CSV export I need.

Thanks for any help,

Nick

Nick,

Welcome to the forums, good news for you, there are multiple solutions available.

First, System reporter can schedule and retain reports, and it even stores the csv file in the apache web folder where the report lives.

Alternatively, you need to install and use the CLI. The pdf documentation is thorough, and includes options for setting the environmental variable "TPDCSVTABLE=1" to make the command line output in csv format, as well as other things as showing/hiding header and summary rows.

Hope this helps.
