4 Database Administration
Commands
The PA XP CLUI supports the following commands for database administration:
ExportDB Command
You can use the ExportDB command to export data, for charting or graphing, and including the Ext-Lun
information to a data visualization program, such as Microsoft Excel. The output of the ExportDB
command for the dkc performance data contains the maximum configuration of an XP12000 array, even
though the XP10000 array has a maximum of 4 CHIPs and 2 ACPs. This is because there are 16
CHIPs and 8 ACPs columns. However, if the column is not applicable for XP10000, it displays the text
"Invalid" as a column heading. For mix PCBs, the column displays the label "Invalid Mp" as a column
heading for MPs 4 to 7.
NOTE:
PA XP supports multiple data collection. To ensure that the exportdb command is successful, create one
schedule with all components selected and set the same frequency of collection.
Example 1. Schedule 1
Components selected:
Raid group: 1-2
Frequency of collection: 1 min
Example 2. Schedule 2
Components selected:
DKC
Raid group: Leftover raid groups by the first schedule.
Port: All the available ports.
Frequency of collection: 30 mins (for all the above components)
ExportDB usage
Following are the required parameters for the exportDB command:
–st
–et
–dkc
Optionally, you can specify a management station by using –ms , and specify a username and
password pair by using –auth . You can use –pf in place of
auth. The –dver command displays the Ext-Lun information.
Following is the general format of the command to invoke the script:
exportdb [-d] [-L] [-hr] [-ms ] [-auth ] [-st
] [-et ] [-file ] -dkc
-dver [-?]
