# Vmax-XRay
A tool to provide an inventory of your EMC2 VMAX-3 array.
**DEPRECATED. Please use my project Array-XRay instead.**
## Purpose
Provide an inventory of all the configuration of a VMAX-3 array, including :
- SRP details
- List of all the TDEVs
- List of the WWNs logged on the array
- List of the IGs and cascaded IG
- List of masking views
- List of port groups
- List of SG
The inventory file generated by this tool is an excel file. New formats will
be added as needed.
***At the moment, the only supported array's are VMAX-3 (including AFA models)
with UNISPHERE 8.4.***
FYI: the current version of PyU4V support only VMAX-3 arrays, so the support
of VMAX-2 arrays is not possible right now. I'll make maybe a custom version
to change that. There is a lot of VMAX-2 still in the wild after all ! :-)
## Dependencies
This tool use several module that you can find in the file requirements.txt.
I use a embedded and modified version of the PyU4V module.
## Usage
```
[jbrt@localhost]$ ./vmax-xray.py --help
usage: vmax-xray.py [-h] [-p PATH] [-d] config
Vmax-XRay - Tool for Inventory a VMAX
positional arguments:
config config file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PATH, --path PATH path to store the inventory file
-d, --debug enable the debug mode
```
## Example
This example :
```
[jbrt@locahost]$ ./vmax-xray.py example.conf
Initializing a Excel workbook (Vmax-000297500071.xlsx)
Beginning of data extraction (Vmax SID:000297500071)
- Extraction of SRPs
- Extraction of TDEVs
- Extraction of initiators
- Extraction of masking views
- Extraction of initiators groups
- Extraction of cascaded initiators groups
- Extraction of port groups
- Extraction of storage groups
End of data extraction (Vmax SID:000297500071)
```
Will produce this Excel file :
## Configuration file
Here is the syntax of the configuration file needed by this tool :
```
[SID_NUMBER]
address = IP_ADDRESS
user = username_of_UNISPHERE
password = password (I hope you're not using the default one 'smc' ;-)
```
You can add all the VMAXs you need.
## TODO
There is a lot of work ahead ! This is a first release of that tool. Many
new features will come depending on the needs. Here is some of ideas :
- Adding support of the VMAX-2 arrays
- Adding new inventory format (load data into ElasticSearch, why not ?)
- Eventually, adding support of third parties arrays (like IBM FlashSystem)
Maybe with another tool, not specially Vmax-XRay... sounds logic ;-)
Feel free to contribute if you want.
