1 Spreadsheet operation overview Use custom spreadsheets to help you make or schedule changes or perform repeated operations on a large scale to the configuration of large deployment storage systems. Spreadsheets can help reduce the risk of human error. Processing spreadsheets Spreadsheets are created when you export system information using Configuration File Loader (CFL). CFL is a Remote Web Console (RWC) software application that is installed with RWC.
CLI spreadsheet templates CLI-based spreadsheet templates are included with the following software applications: • LUSE. For more information on using LUSE, see “LUN Expansion operations” (page 13). • Ext Stor. For more information on using Ext Stor, see “External Storage operations” (page 32). • Cnt Ac-J Z. For more information on using Cnt Ac-J Z, see “Continuous Access Journal Z operations” (page 48). The CLI-based spreadsheet templates are included in a tool pack.
The following table lists the spreadsheet format requirements. Item Requirement File type Text file File name • You must use the .spd file extension. • Character limit (including the extension): 32 • Prohibited symbols in file names: \ / : , ; * ? “ < > | and space.
2 Command Line Interface Installation and Commands The CLI is an RWC feature that provides commands for retrieving, validating, and running spreadsheets. The system administrator can assign permission levels to users. CLI-based products that can process spreadsheets You can use CLI commands from a command prompt to run spreadsheets for the following software applications: • LUNM • Ext Stor • Cnt Ac-J Z NOTE: You must install and configure the CLI before you can use spreadsheets.
Copying CLI tools The /CFLCLItool directory contains the CLI files. This directory is located on CD#3 of a microcode distribution kit. This directory contains the following files, folders, and spreadsheet templates: • /CFLCLItool folder - contains the following files: ◦ JSanCLI.jar ◦ java.policy file - the default policy file For more information about this policy file, see the Java documentation. • sample folder - contains the CLI command files • 1. 2. 3.
5. 6. From the command prompt, change directories to the destination-folder/CFLCLITool directory. Run the batch file. Execute the following command: mkatfile SVP-ip-address user-id password > myAuthentication.txt (For UNIX) Execute the following command: mkatfile.sh Specify the following items: • SVP-ip-address: specify the IP address of the SVP. To use an IPv6 address, enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets [ ]. • user-id: specify the user ID of the storage administrator.
The following table lists file and directory names that you can change. If you make a change in the If... column, then you must make the corresponding change that is listed in the You must change... column. If... You must change... You rename the user authentication file name... The .txt file in each CLI command file to the file name that you specified.
3 LUN Expansion operations Use spreadsheets in LUSE to retrieve volume information and create and release LUSE volumes. You use CLI in LUSE to process spreadsheets. LUN Expansion feature spreadsheet tasks Spreadsheet templates for the following tasks are provided with RWC: • Creating LUSE volumes. • Retrieving information about logical volumes (LDEV) that can be combined into LUSE volumes. • Identifying LDEVs that have been part of LUSE volumes. • Releasing LUSE volumes.
The following table describes the variables used in the spreadsheet format. Variables Content First row—declaration line #! Indicates the declaration line. You cannot edit this row. Version number Number that corresponds to the operation tag. Program product “CLI_LUSE” for LUSE Type The command that retrieves information or performs an operation. Enter a comma and a semicolon with no space between them (,;) after the type.
Validating CLI-based spreadsheets in LUN Expansion 1. (For Windows) Open a command prompt (Start > Run) and execute the following command: CFLCHK input-file-name output-file-name NOTE: For UNIX, execute the following command: CFLCHK.sh Operand Description input-file-name The spreadsheet you want to verify. Include the relative or absolute path. Character limit: 240 output-file-name The output file name. Include the relative or absolute path.
#^,;Check NG(6505-66004) 00,04,40,01,P-VOL,00,64040,Mirror,Disable,Flush,; This example shows two errors: • In the declaration line (the first row). The (xxxx-yyyyy) following “Error” is a code-error code. For more information about the error codes, see HP P9000 Remote Web Console Messages. • In the SuspendPair operation tag, identified in the row below beginning begins with #^. An error occurred in the SuspendPair operation tag.
Making configuration changes in LUN Expansion Execute the CFLSET command to change the configuration settings you have altered in the spreadsheet. Execute the CFLSET command to create a results file which you can use to check the operation completion status. 1. At a command prompt, change directories to the location of the spreadsheet file. 2. (For Windows) Execute the following command: CFLSET input-file-name output-file-name where: Operand Description input-file-name The spreadsheet you want to verify.
Retrieving information about Logical Volumes in LUN Expansion Use the Luse_Get_def.spd template to retrieve information from the system about LDEVs that are used in LUSE volumes, or about LDEVs that can be combined into LUSE volumes. To retrieve information about logical volumes, execute the following command: [LUSE] GET_ALL The output is saved to a file. Example spreadsheet: LDEV information appears in layers.
• The example spreadsheet shows that three LUSE volumes are being created. • Each LUSE volume needs the creation of two layers. • Layer Identifier Content Top None Top LDEV in the LUSE volume (00,00,00) Bottom + Other LDEVs in the LUSE volume (00,00,01; 00,00,02) The text between commas populates the spreadsheet column. In the example above, in the first row in the first LUSE volume to be created, “00” populates column A.
Troubleshooting runtime CLI errors If a results file indicates that a spreadsheet operation did not happen correctly, one of the following conditions might have occurred: • A communication error. • Volumes or pairs do not have a status of “Ready” and are not ready to accept changes. • Another user is working with the storage system in RWC in Modify mode. If you have an error, correct the condition and execute the command again.
4 LUN Manager operations Use spreadsheets in LUNM to change storage system settings. You use CFL in LUNM to process spreadsheets.
5. 6. In the LUN Manager window, enter or browse to a path where you want to export the file in the File Name on Client field. You must follow the file name requirement. For more information about the file name requirements, see “Spreadsheet format requirements” (page 7). Click Export. The spreadsheet is exported to the location you specified.
The following table describes the variables used in the spreadsheet format. Variables Description First row—declaration line #! Declaration line. Do not alter this row. Version Indicates that the RMI version number follows. Cannot be changed. Followed by a space. Version number RMI version followed by a comma with no space. Program product “LUN” for LUN Manager followed by a comma with no space. Process mode “Change”. Indicates adding, changing, deleting.
Function tags in spreadsheets in LUN Manager Each spreadsheet has its own operations or functions and parameters. The function tags contained within a spreadsheet are classified according to the function. Function tags describe the type of function and the settings. Function tag definitions are applied to the storage system one at a time in the order they appear in the spreadsheet. Comments and definitions written in the same row as the function tag are ignored.
• Add new definitions when the current setting is blank and has not yet been specified. • Delete the unused function tags from the spreadsheet. Delete them by removing them from the new configuration definition area of the spreadsheet. NOTE: The function tags that remain in the spreadsheet with existing definitions are deleted from the spreadsheet when you import the spreadsheet. For more information about function tags, see “Function tags in spreadsheets in LUN Manager” (page 24).
