Q:
Tracking DMX storage allocation
How are you tracking your storage allocations from your DMX to your servers? We began with the Excel-based design workbook that EMC delivers at the end of the installation engagement & that works up to a point. I've written code that loads the info into SQL & does some reporting on it, but is there a method that anyone uses that does the initial process better? Specifically,
- identifying available devs
- identifying appropriate Tier of storage
- tracking the server reciving the storage
- tracking the FAs the devs are masked to
There's more, but that's the core of it.
Thanks for any ideas/suggestions you can provide.

You start with a simple excel workbook, and as you need more reporting, you add querying capabilities to it.
In my environment, we maintain a totally different set of scripts which populate a mysql database with all kinds of informaiton, and then we run queries against that database to get our info.
