The STAT tool is a useful thing, it just needs to be finished. I wholeheartedly voted yes to have this done. Let me know if you would like help testing it; I had a lab environment with SVC.
It is 2017 and this feature would be very useful. Who honestly works with only ID's? Like I know what vdisk id 456 is? Please use the names (vdisks, mdisks, pools, etc) instead of IDs.!
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Storage
Product - IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) / Spectrum Virtualize
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Tivoli
Product family - Storage
Product - IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller (SVC) / Spectrum Virtualize
The STAT output would be a lot more helpful if it had meaningful volume names.
Also, given 300GB SSDs are WDFM, we should update the recommendation to reflect the 200GB and 400GB SSDs and ideally add logic so the compare isn't always based on adding 900GB of RAID SSD.
Come on, IBM, it has been almost 2 years since the STAT tool was released and not a single improvement. The current implementation is clearly geared for DS8K and an embarrassment to use for SVC customers.
Yes, that would help a lot
next step is to include that information directly in the GUI
100% agreed - the lack of a hex-to-human readable conversion feature in the STAT Tool output is just inane.
