Navisphere CLI cheat sheet

Raid Groups | LUN config | Storage Groups | Cache config

It is probably easier to use the Navisphere GUI to configure the Clariion but below are some of
the CLI commands that can be used to configure the SAN. There is also a procedure generator
which is very usefull called clarproc.exe which can be found on the www.emc.com web site

Raid Groups

navcli -h <san> createrg rgID disks <options>

example: navicli -h fc4700 createrg 16 0_0_0 0_0_1 0_0_2 -rm yes -pri
high
Creating a raid group
rgID = decimal raid group id
0_0_0 = bus_enclosure_disk
rm = delete raid group when last LUN is unbound
pri = expansion / defragmentation priority
navicli -h <san> chgrg rgID <options>

example: navicli -h fc4700 chgrg 16 -expand 0_0_4 0_0_5 -lex yes -pri
expanding a raid group
high

lex = is LUN expansion also allowed

destroying a raid group
modifying a raid group parameters
(priority etc)
display status of a raid group
navicli -h <san> destroyrg rgID disks <options>
example: navicli -h fc4700 destroyrg 16 0_0_0 0_0_1 0_0_3 -rm yes -p
high
navicli -h fc4700 chgrg 16 -pri high
navicli -h fc4700 getrg 16 -lunlist
LUN and Meta LUN configuration

navicli -h <san> bind raid-type <lun #> -rg rgID <options>

example: navicli -h fc4700 bind r5 3 -rg 0 -rc 1 -wc 1 -sq mb -cap 250

Binding a LUN r5 = raid 5

rc = read cache (0=disable, 1=enable)
wc = write cache (0=disable, 1=enable)
sq = size qualifier (MB, GB)
cap = size of the raid
unbinding a LUN navicli -h fc4700 unbind 3
display LUN properties navicli -h fc4700 getlun 3 -element
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -expand -base <number> -lun <numbers> -type [c|s]
<options>
expanding a meta LUN
c = concatenate
s = stripe
destroying a meta LUN navicli -h fc4700 metalun -destroy -metalun <number>
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -info <options> (general information)
displaying meta LUN status
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -list metalun <number> (specific info on a meta LUN)
Modifying a meta lun navicli -h fc4700 metalun -modify -metalun <number>

Storage Groups

navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -create -gname storage_1

create a storage group
gname = group name
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -addhlu -gname storage_1 -hlu 19 -alu 16
add LUNS to a storage
group hlu = LUN number display to hosts i.e c0t0d19
alu = LUN 16 as per the san storage
register a host navicli -h fc4700 uksap01 register
connect host to storage
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -connecthost -host uksap01 -gname storage_1
group
display storage group
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -list -gname storage_1
information
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -destroy -gname storage_1
destroy a storage group
(all hosts must be removed from the group first)

Cache Configuration
get cache information navicli -h fc4700 getcache
navicli -h fc4700 setcache -wsza 550 -rsza 100 -wszb 100 -rszb 100
wsza = SPA write cache in MB
rsza = SPA read cache in MB
wszb = SPB write cache in MB
Configure the cache rszb = SPB read cache in MB
p = page size (2, 4, 8 or 16)
l = low watermark
h = high watermark
wc/rc = disable/enable read/write cache
wca/rca = disable/enable read/write SPA cache
