PowerPath: Is there an option to get Volume Name & Device ID from Power Path or Diskpart

Hi Krishna,

I don't think there is a simple command that will provide such output - you would need to write a PowerShell script that would parse "powermt display dev=all" output, get the harddiskX and LUN names from there (or use Get-Disk cmdlet), then get volume/disk/size information from Get-Partition and/or Get-Volume cmdlets. Or you can try to use Diskpart in a batch mode to achieve the same, but since you are most likely going to write a script, it's probably way easier to use built-in PowerShell cmdlets.

Hope that helps!

Hello

With the EMCReports program - located here https://support.emc.com/search/?text=EMCReports&resource=ST

There is a utility file called INQ - separately accessible from ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/symm3000/inquiry/v8.2.0.0/

Download the file called inq.windowsamd64_exe and rename to inq.exe

If you execute this in a command prompt with the following switches

inq -showvol -parent

this should show you the Disk, Size and Device ID

Note if Size for a specific disk reports ----- or NA or FAILED - this means the INQ utility was unable to query the size of the disk not that the disk is failed.

INQ -h will display the options available for this utility.

Diskpart definitely wont be able to display the VMax device ID. But can display the rest with the "list volume" output

Apart from that you will probably need to join together outputs from several different commands.

Thank you

Sam

Hi Krishna,

There is no way you will be able to get everything you want using PP or DiskPart. What you could do is get the disk/volume/size information from DiskPart and then correlate that with PP:

DiskPart > select disk <#> (ie. select disk 8) > detail disk

CMD Admin > powermt display dev=<# matching disk in diskpart> (ie. dev=8)
