CLI option to view TB managed by CSM

On CSM v6.3, on the overview page, it will show below details:
Remote copy source volumes (not cascaded): 62 ( 411.9 GiB )
FlashCopy source volumes: 78 ( 1.1 TiB )
Volumes protected by Safeguarded Copy: 0 ( 0.0 KiB )
Volumes used as targets: 141 ( 2.6 TiB )
Total unique source data replicated: 411.9 GiB


However, if we want to list the same via CSM CLI, there is no such option. We have 10 CSM servers and getting this info from CSM CLI helps in automating the reporting of this piece. Please advise.

    Thanks. Ok we will consider adding it to the CLI/REST in the future for automating extracting of the data.

    If this info can be added to CSMCLI or REST API it will help us a lot because downloading PE package, extracting contents etc will add additional work. Since this is a summary for the whole CSM server, I believe it will be beneficial for everyone.

    This information an more is provided in a CSM log package. Each CSM log package has a volume-relationship-summary.log file which has the summary of information similar to what is now displayed on the CSM GUI in 6.3.0.

    In the next release we are looking at the ability through the CSM CLI or REST interface, to not only create a log package, but download the package as well. This means you can programatically create and download the logs, which should then let you save off the summary information or extract and process the .log file contents.

    Please let us know if this meets your needs or if you actually need a call to return the information in json format through REST...or stanza format for cli.
