Hello,

  Is it possible to get the total storage capacity as well as the used storage capacity of each individual hard disk in a FS5100 using the Spectrum Virtualize API?

When the FS5100 has FCM's you can see Total and Used capacity: 

IBM_FlashSystem:FS5100:superuser>lsdrive 0
id 0
...
tech_type tier0_flash
capacity 20.0TB
...
write_endurance_used 0
write_endurance_usage_rate
replacement_date
transport_protocol nvme
compressed yes
physical_capacity 4.36TB
physical_used_capacity 138.22MB
effective_used_capacity 3.60GB

Hello,

  Is it possible to get the total storage capacity as well as the used storage capacity of each individual hard disk in a FS5100 using the Spectrum Virtualize API?

Hello,

Thanks for the answer.

Another question we have is this:

 Can the 'lsdrive' command acquire a list of all the physical hard drives along with their id, capacity, used capacity, and status and return it in a single list of dictionaries through the Spectrum Virtualize web API?

If a FS5100 has 912 physical drives and we were to acquire the above info on each of them, would that mean we would have to send the 'lsdrive [disk ID]" command through HTTP requests 912 times in order to get all the capacity info? Does the 'lsdrive' command accept parameters for showing the capacity, used capacity info when returning the list of drives?

Or are there any other alternative methods that can help achieve the same result?

Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for detailed data on the drives, it's going to be something that you'll have to script out and possibly need to format the results of. You can do lsdrive without being specific and detailed but it gives you less detailed information.  This is from the Knowledge Center (sorry, IBM documentation)

id:status:error_sequence_number:use:tech_type:capacity:mdisk_id:mdisk_name:member_id:enclosure_id:slot_id:auto_manage:drive_class_id 0:online::member:tier0_flash:20GB:0:mdisk0:0:1:2:active:0 1:offline:345:member:tier0_flash:20GB:0:mdisk0:0:1:3:idle:0 2:online::member:tier0_flash:20GB:0:mdisk0:0:1:4:active:0

So, you can see that it's not nearly as detailed as you're asking about.

This is the kind of thing that maybe you could do an ansible script to gather the information that you're looking for and create as facts, then format into a template.

Hello,
thanks for all the answers above.

Another problem we've encountered is that we want to display the FS5100's CPU info in our client program. The Spectum Virtualize documentation indicates there is a "lsnodehw" command that can show the CPU model, but this command seems to be unavailable in our client's FS5100s. Are there any functionalities that need to be enabled to make this command available, or are there any alternative methods that can be used to acquire the CPU info?

That's true!
Alternatively one could use the SVC CLI commands with prefix svcinfo, so all commands and scripts are compatible with SVC, Storwize and FlashSystems.
Example:
svcinfo lsnodevpd <node_id_or_name>

If you're looking for detailed data on the drives, it's going to be something that you'll have to script out and possibly need to format the results of. You can do lsdrive without being specific and detailed but it gives you less detailed information.  This is from the Knowledge Center (sorry, IBM documentation)

id:status:error_sequence_number:use:tech_type:capacity:mdisk_id:mdisk_name:member_id:enclosure_id:slot_id:auto_manage:drive_class_id 0:online::member:tier0_flash:20GB:0:mdisk0:0:1:2:active:0 1:offline:345:member:tier0_flash:20GB:0:mdisk0:0:1:3:idle:0 2:online::member:tier0_flash:20GB:0:mdisk0:0:1:4:active:0

So, you can see that it's not nearly as detailed as you're asking about.

This is the kind of thing that maybe you could do an ansible script to gather the information that you're looking for and create as facts, then format into a template.

Hello,

Thanks for the answer.

Another question we have is this:

 Can the 'lsdrive' command acquire a list of all the physical hard drives along with their id, capacity, used capacity, and status and return it in a single list of dictionaries through the Spectrum Virtualize web API?

If a FS5100 has 912 physical drives and we were to acquire the above info on each of them, would that mean we would have to send the 'lsdrive [disk ID]" command through HTTP requests 912 times in order to get all the capacity info? Does the 'lsdrive' command accept parameters for showing the capacity, used capacity info when returning the list of drives?

Or are there any other alternative methods that can help achieve the same result?

Thanks in advance.

When the FS5100 has FCM's you can see Total and Used capacity: 

IBM_FlashSystem:FS5100:superuser>lsdrive 0
id 0
...
tech_type tier0_flash
capacity 20.0TB
...
write_endurance_used 0
write_endurance_usage_rate
replacement_date
transport_protocol nvme
compressed yes
physical_capacity 4.36TB
physical_used_capacity 138.22MB
effective_used_capacity 3.60GB

Hello,

  Is it possible to get the total storage capacity as well as the used storage capacity of each individual hard disk in a FS5100 using the Spectrum Virtualize API?

That's true!
Alternatively one could use the SVC CLI commands with prefix svcinfo, so all commands and scripts are compatible with SVC, Storwize and FlashSystems.
Example:
svcinfo lsnodevpd <node_id_or_name>

Hola!

Command lsnodehw is intended to be used in SVC. The equivalent command for FlashSystems is lsnodecanisterhw

The command lsnodecanistervpd pointed by T Masteen also works :D

Hello,
thanks for all the answers above.

Another problem we've encountered is that we want to display the FS5100's CPU info in our client program. The Spectum Virtualize documentation indicates there is a "lsnodehw" command that can show the CPU model, but this command seems to be unavailable in our client's FS5100s. Are there any functionalities that need to be enabled to make this command available, or are there any alternative methods that can be used to acquire the CPU info?

Thanks in advance,
