MP EVA RSS Files

MP EVA RSS

I wrote this tool to work in Linux to begin with, if someone else knows how to make it portable please contact me.

The tool works by grouping by colour every RSS group that exists in a HP EVA storage array. This helps the user figure out where they need to ungroup a disk and relocate it, so that the shelves are protected against a failure in RSS.

Primary pre-requisite is download of SSSU from HP site for your version of linux.

The program has a few different levels. The first level requires you to run a shell script which uses SSSU to create a storage map, which then get pulled in by a php page when the user hits it.

The first file to run is:EVARSS.sh

which talks to the EVA using SSSU and then creates a storage map which then gets read into a MySQL database

the second part requires the user to install the enclosed PHP file (EVA_RSS.php) in their webroot, when executed it will produce a colour map of the EVA RSS groups.

Hope someone finds it useful. 

A better README/INSTALL is in the pipeline to make installation easier, also looking to maybe create an appliance using VMware.
