Ibm xiv xcli utility user manual

NAME IBM: XCLI - A Perl interface to the IBM XIV XCLI SYNOPSIS use IBM: XCLI; my $xiv = IBM: XCLI->new( ip_address => $ip_address, username => $user password => $password, xcli => $xcli my @volumes = $xiv->vol_list foreach volumes) s/^ \| $/g; my volume) = split /, print Volume:\t$volume[0]\t Size:\t$volume[1]\t Used:\t$volume[6] ; DESCRIPTION This module provides a simple object oriented interface to the IBM XIV XCLI utility. The IBM XIV XCLI is a utility providing a command line interface to an IBM XIV storage array exposing complete management and administrative capabilities of the system. This module provides a simple interface to the IBM XIV XCLI utility by providing convenient wrapper methods for a number of XCLI native method calls. These methods are named for and are analagous to their corresponding XCLI counterparts; for example, a call to the vol_list method exposed by this module returns the same data as would an execution of the native vol_list command would be expected to return. The primary difference between the return value of method calls exposed by this module and the return value of native XCLI calls is that methods in this module using native method names return a nested hash rather than whitespace delimited or comma-separated data. Note that if access to the raw data as returned by the XCLI native method call is required then the raw methods can be used to retrieve CSV data as retured directly from the XCLI. See the RAW METHODS section below for further details. The XCLI utility must be installed on the same machine as from which the script is ran. METHODS new my $xiv = IBM: XCLI->new( ip_address => $ip_address, username => $user password => $password, xcli => $xcli Constructor method. Creates a new IBM: XCLI object representing a connection to and an instance of a XCLI connection to the target XIV unit. Required parameters are.
My good friend Rob Jackard from the ATS Group has compiled this list of updates to the IBM Support site.   It is a very comprehensive list of updates, flashes, tips and warnings and it is well worth spending a few minutes scanning the list to see if any apply to your environment.  There is even a warning about a 497 day bug. Ideally none of these tips should be news to you if you are getting regular emails using IBM My Notifications so please sign up (or maybe check that your notification list has the correct products) and then read on.

The IBM XIV XCLI is a utility providing a command line interface to an IBM XIV storage array exposing complete management and administrative functionality to the system. The primary aim of this package is to provide a simplified and abstracted interface to the XCLI utility so as to reduce duplication of effort through reimlementation and to promote code reuse. The larger portion of the methods exported by this package are native calls analagous to their corresponding XCLI counterparts; i.e. the vol_list method returns the same data as an execution of the native vol_list command would be expected to return. The primary difference between the implementation of these native calls and their counterparts is the abscense of the column headers in the return values. This is done to remove the need for any unnessecary additional client side post-processing of return values and to maintain a level of consistency in expected return values. All native calls are implemented using CSV output for deliniation of values. The XCLI utility must be installed on the same machine as from which the script is ran. METHODS new my $xiv = IBM: XCLI->new( ip_address => $ip_address, username => $user password => $password, xcli => $xcli Constructor method. Creates a new IBM: XCLI object representing a connection to and an instance of a XCLI connection to the target XIV unit. Required parameters are: ip_address The IP address of a management.
