Gather
Parse
Import
Perl scripting
Most scripts are using Perl language to make them easily portable to other
operating systems
Install a Perl interpreter like Activeperl
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
The system variable PATH should be point at the Perl bin directory
To simplify Perl scripting, modules are used
They can be downloaded from the following location:
http://www.cpan.org/modules/index.html
Usage of modules in perl scripting
Example in ParseCfg.pl
# Modules
#use strict;
use File::Path;
use Getopt::Long;
use XML::TreePP;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use Text::CSV_XS;
To avoid complex module installation,
Only default standard modules are used by the gathering Perl scripts
Advanced (none standard) modules are only used by the parsing Perl scripts
The command pod2text is being used by the man option and requires you to run the
Perl scripts from their hosting directory

7
Command Line Interfaces to Storage Devices
SSH tools like Putty for SVC, Storwize V7000, SONAS, Storwize V7000 Unified
DS CLI for DS8000
xcli for XIV
DS Storage Manager CLI for DS3000, DS4000, DS5000 and DCS3700

8
SSH & SCP
To access SAN Volume Controller, Storwize V7000, Scale Out NAS, and Storwize
V7000 Unified using SSH & SCP
Depending on the code level, an SSH key might be required
Check the CLI users guide to learn about it
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/san/sanvc/V6.2.0/SVC_and_V7000_Command_Line_Interface_Us
ers_Guide.pdf
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/san/sanvc/V6.3.0/SVC_and_V7000_Command_Line_Interface_Us
ers_Guide.pdf
A tool such as Putty should be installed
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Putty installer comes with plink and pscp, two executables required by gathering scripts
A Putty session for each SVC and/or Storwize V7000 system should be created
The system variable PATH should be pointing at the Putty installation directory
On Unix systems, OpenSSH could be used to replace Putty

9
DS CLI
DS8000 Command Line Interface MUST be installed for any script involving gathering
or monitoring the DS8000
Currently only the ds8kGatherCfg.cmd script is using it
Download the code from here
Up to 4.3 code: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S4000641
From 6.0 up to 6.3 code: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S4000983

SCRIPTS TO GATHER RAW DATA
13
GatherCfg.cmd
This Windows command line script gathers SAN Volume Controller (SVC) and Storwize
V7000 the backup XML file of the configuration as well as some additional information
Prerequisite
Install Putty (with the plink and pscp executables)
Environment variables
If Putty installation directory is not in the PATH system variable, you may
want to uncomment (remove rem) and update the following line
rem cd c:\putty
You MUST provide a session name defined in Putty to access this SVC or
Storwize V7000 cluster
set PUTTYSESSIONNAME=SVC1
You MUST specify a directory name where you need to save the output files
and backup configuration files gathered by this script
set TGTDIR=.\Raw_Cfg
You MUST define the SSH and SCP sessions will be opened with the target SVC
or Storwize V7000 cluster
set SSH=plink -load %PUTTYSESSIONNAME% -l alexis
set PSCP=pscp -unsafe -load %PUTTYSESSIONNAME% alexis@10.2.20.20:
All output files will be renamed to contain the SVC or Storwize V7000 cluster
name to allow you to consolidate from here the configuration of multiple
systems
14
ds8kGatherCfg.cmd
This Windows command line script gathers DS8000 configuration information
Prerequisite
Install DS CLI (The DS8000 command line interface)
Environment variables
If DS CLI installation directory is not in the PATH system variable, you may
want to uncomment (remove rem) and update the following line
rem cd c:\dscli
You MUST provide at least 1 Hardware Management Console IP address or hostname
for the DS8000 and if only 1 exist, you have to provide the same IP address or
hostname for the second HMC variable
set HMC1=9.188.68.200
set HMC2=9.188.68.200
You MUST specify a user ID and its password to access the HMC
set ID=admin
set PW=tuc3son
You MUST specify a directory name where you need to save the output files
and backup configuration files gathered by this script
set TGTDIR=.\Raw_Cfg
All output files will be renamed to contain the DS8000 HMC ID or Storage
Facility Image ID to allow you to consolidate from here the configuration of
multiple systems
15
sonasGatherCfg.pl
This Perl script gathers SONAS and Storwize V7000 Unified configuration &
performance statistics then consolidate them into CSV files
With Storwize V7000 Unified, only the file side of the configuration will be gathered
Requirements
Install Putty (with the plink executables)
To get help use the following syntax: ParseCfg.pl --help
To view the man page use the following syntax: ParseCfg.pl --man
This script requires several Perl modules but they should all be part of any Perl base
install packages
For Unix environment, update the $ssh variable in the script (line 229)
Configuration and performance information will be added to any existing files in
the target directory Therefore the configuration and performance statistics of
multiple systems could be consolidated here

16
sonasGatherCfg.pl - Options
Required Options
sonas <IP_mgmt_adress>: Specifies the SONAS or Storwize V7000 Unified cluster management
IP address or name (if defined in the DNS or hosts file)
Optional Options
user <user_name>: Specifies the user name to access SONAS or Storwize V7000 Unified cluster
Default is "admin
pwd <password>: Specifies the password for the above user name to
access SONAS or Storwize V7000 Unified cluster
Default is "admin
putty <session_name> (Windows only): Specifies the PuTTY session name
for the SONAS or Storwize V7000 Unified cluster
This option is only available for Windows environment.
TargetDir <directory_name>: Specifies the directory to save the CSV files
Default is ./Raw_cfg/" for Linux and .\Raw_Cfg\" for Windows
perf <none/day/week/month/year>: Specifies whether or not you want to
gather performance statistic
The window size can be provided (day, or week, or month, or year)
When "none" is specified, no performance statistics are gathered ("none" is also
the default value)
help: Shows help screen; Default is don't show
man: Shows man page; Default is don't show
debug: Sets debug mode; Debug mode displays all internal operations and leaves stats files in
scripts directory
Default is no debug mode

17
GatherPerf.pl
This Perl script collects SVC and/or Storwize V7000 (storage module) cluster
performance statistics (IOSTATS) as well as a backup XML configuration file
generated by the command svcconfig backup, and stores them on local
directories
Requirements
To get help use the following syntax
> ParseCfg.pl --help
To view the man page use the following syntax
> ParseCfg.pl --man
This script requires several Perl modules but they should all be part of any Perl base
install packages
An IOSTAT file name is containing the node ID and timestamp Therefore the
performance statistics of multiple systems could be consolidated here
18
GatherPerf.pl Performance files
Nn_stats_NODE_Name_YYMMDD_HHMMSS for nodes statistics
Clearly some of the largest files because it contains CPU, Cache, Partition, Ports and
Nodes statistics.
Nv_stats_NODE_Name_YYMMDD_HHMMSS for VDisks statistics
With large environments, these files can be larger than Nodes because a massive number
of statistics combined with a massive number of objects.
You only have up to 8 nodes in an SVC or Storwize V7000 cluster, while you have dozens,
hundreds or even thousands of VDisks.
Nm_stats_NODE_Name_YYMMDD_HHMMSS for MDisks statistics
Probably the smallest files because we always have a limited number of MDisks in a
system.
Nd_stats_NODE_Name_YYMMDD_HHMMSS for Drives statistics>
Larger files than MDisks but still not as large as Nodes or VDisk statistics because limited
number of stats even when we have a large amount of hard disk drives.
19
GatherPerf.pl Options (1/2)
Required Options
svc <IP_mgmt_adres>s: Specifies the SVC or Storwize V7000 cluster management IP address or
name (if defined in the DNS or hosts file)
putty <session_name> (Windows only): Specifies the PuTTY session name for the SVC cluster;
This option is only available for Windows environment
Optional Options
user <user_name>: Specifies the user name for the SVC cluster
Default is "admin
interval <time>: Specifies the interval time (minute) for performance data collection
You can specify from 1 up to 60 minutes, default is "10"
With an interval of "1", it means that for 24 hours we would have 1,440 minutes, and therefore 5,760 files
To avoid dealing with a huge amount of IOSTATS files,
> If you monitor over a period of 24 hours, try to keep the interval at 10 minutes or above
> If you monitor over a period of 12 hours, try to keep the interval at 5 minutes
> Only gather statistics with 1 up to 4 minutes when troubleshooting performance, and therefore targeting 1 to 6 hours
window
> In large environments with many Virtual Disks and/or Managed Disks, the amount of performance statistics can use a
large capacity on disk and might bring challenges to transfer the data on the machine used to parse those files
Increase your interval
> When dealing with a large volume of files, you will need a lot of memory on the machine used to parse those statistics
help: Shows help screen; Default is don't show
man: Shows man page; Default is don't show
20
GatherPerf.pl Options (2/2)
Optional Options (cont)
nochange: Specifies this option if you don't want to change interval time, clear all current
iostats files in the SVC or Storwize V7000 cluster
By default it changes interval time to 5 minutes, and clears all current iostats files in the SVC or Storwize
V7000 cluster
iterations <number>: Specifies the number of iterations for performance data collection;
When the number of iterations is set to "0", the script will run until you Ctrl+c it
Default is "0"
When the script is schedule to run periodically, be mindful that you do not want
the new kick-off be impacting the finishing one
> For example if you run an interval of 1 minutes, the last interval 1,440 of day 1 will
still run when the script is started on day 2 You should not request 1,440 intervals
to cover a day but 1439 intervals
> 10 minutes interval * 144 iterations for a day you need to request 143 intervals
if the script is schedule to run every day
> 5 minutes interval * 288 iterations for a day you need to request 287 intervals
> 1 minute interval * 1,440 iterations for a day you need to request 1,439 intervals
StatsDir <directory_name>: Specifies the directory to save iostats files
Default is "/tmp/scripts/iostats/" for Linux and AIX, and "C:\temp\scripts\iostats\
for Windows
The directory path can be short or long, but it MUST finish with \ on Windows and / on Unix
CfgDir <directory_name>: Specifies the directory to save the XML file with the backup of the
configuration
Default is "/tmp/scripts/config/" for Linux and AIX, and "C:\temp\scripts\config\" for Windows
The directory path can be short or long, but it MUST finish with \ on Windows and / on Unix
21
SCRIPTS TO PARSE & FORMAT

clusters generated by the command svcconfig backup or gathered by scripts such
as GatherCfg.cmd or GatherPerf.pl
It then converts them to CSV format and will even by default consolidate those
into an Excel file
Because Excel would convert automatically the format of some values when importing
CSV files, the generated files are CSV format but kept with ".txt" extensions
Requirements
To get help use the following syntax: ParseCfg.pl --help
To view the man page use the following syntax: ParseCfg.pl --man

ExtractColumnsCSV.pl
This Perl script extracts columns from a CSV file
The goal is for very large environments with huge Vdisk performance statisitics to isolate
the important columns from the rest to reduce the size of the CSV file before
importing it
It would also allow to split a long period into multiple shorter periods
It can also split the output into multiple files when a certain number of intervals
have been reached
This is done to avoid have more rows in Excel than actually supported
Output file(s) is(are) stored in the same source directory (where the source CSV
file is stored)
Always run the header option first to know what column numbers to extract
Required Options
file <source_file & path>: Specifies the source CSV file from which we need to extract
columns
It may contain the full path to the file
For example on Unix "--file /tmp/scripts/output/file.csv" or on Windows "--file
C:\temp\scripts\output\file.csv"
41
ExtractColumnsCSV.pl - Options
Optional Options
columns <columns number comma separated>: Specifies the columns number to extract
from the CSV file (should not be used with the option "--header")
User may want to first use the option "--header" to view the list of columns number for each
column header value.
For example "--columns 1,2,3,4,39,43".
header: Specifies that you want to view the list of columns number for each column
header value (should not be used with the option "--columns")
For example "header
intervals <integer_number>: Specifies the number of intervals to extract in each batch
Once this value is reached, a new output file is used
> It could be also compared to the granularity used to split rows into multiple files
By default all intervals are part of a single extract file by the using the default value of "0
With Excel 2007 & 2010, the maximum number of rows per worksheet is "1,048,340
> When you reach this limit, this script will fail and display the maximum number of intervals that you can have in
a batch (extract)
