I actually gave a presentation on that very thing a little while back: https://share.confex.com/share/118/webprogram/Handout/Session10329/SHARE118_SAN%20at%20NW.pdf
I built a "SAN admin" tool set and database to manage it all. It was the only way to really do it without losing it! There simply are too many data points (wwpns from one end to the other for each and every lun) and copy/paste from a spreadsheet is NOT an answer. I built it on z/VM (Rexx / Pipelines / zVPS web server CGIs) although it could easily live on a Linux server - but the key is to be able to interact with the z/VM systems where the servers are. -- *James Vincent* -- President, SHARE Inc. -- Calendar: http://tinyurl.com/JSVCalWeek -- SHARE is an independent volunteer-led information technology association that provides *education*, professional *networking *and industry *influence* On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 9:38 AM, Dave Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > For sites with a "significant" number of z/Linux guests accessing SAN > storage, how do they keep track of all of the WWPN, LUN, etc. data > needed to manage such a penguin farm? > > Thanks and have a good one. > > DJ > > -- > Dave Jones > V/Soft Software > www.vsoft-software.com > Houston, TX > 281.578.7544 > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or > visit > http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For more information on Linux on System z, visit > http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
