  • 1.  FS7300 Basic Operations Tasks Automation

    Posted Thu April 24, 2025 06:02 PM

    Hi All. We're looking for some basic automation operational tasks in our newly acquired FS7300. Idea is to get started with basic automation tasks like provisioning of disks, host mappings, creating host groups etc. Our eye is on Spectrum Control, but checking at the documentation, we find that it has advanced features like automation of two sites replications, advanced copy services, analytics and what not etc. OfCourse, it can manage, administer, and provision SAN-attached storage and everything, but where is the automation part described for the basic operational activities and other BAU activities in operations. Plus there are CLI commands for add/expand volumes, host commands etc and a lot, but where it describes to automate those command for basic provisioning/mapping tasks. Please advise or let us know what specific component of the FS7300 Family of suites can accomplish this.  Thanks.
