Search/Report

The Search/Report feature allows you to search for objects on the system running VxVM.

To invoke the Search/Report feature, choose Tools > Search. This brings up the "Search on Host" dialog.

How to use the Search/Report Feature

In order to find an object, you must first select the object type (under Look for:).
Object types include:
- Volumes
- Disks
- Dynamic Disk Groups
- Controllers
- Enclosures
- File systems
Once you have chosen the object type, you define the search criteria (under Define Criteria):
The criteria menu selection is based on the object type you have selected.
If you chose Volumes, the available Attributes are:
- Name
- Dynamic group name
- Size
- Status
- Disk
- Device
If you chose Disks, the available Attributes are:
- Name
- Dynamic group name
- Size
- Status
- Device name
- Free space
If you chose Dynamic Disk Group, the available Attributes are:
- Name
- Imported
- Size
- Free space
Once you have chosen an Attribute, you must choose how to compare the object.
The possible ways to compare the object change with your previous selections, and are limited to:
- Any
- Contains
- Starts with
- Ends with
- Is
- Is not
- True
- False
- Greater than
- Less than
- Equal to
If you did not select the Status or Imported attribute, you must enter a number into the value box. The attribute of the object type you selected will be compared with the value you enter in the way you selected. If you selected the Status attribute, you will need to select a value from Unitialized, Healthy, Stopped, Degraded, and Failed.
If you selected the Size or Free space attribute, you will also need to define the unit of measurement (Sectors, KB, MB, GB, TB).
Use the Add and Remove buttons to add and remove search statements.
Click the Search Now button to perform the search.
NOTE: Example:
If you search for a Volume (object type), with a Size (attribute), of greater than (compare), 10 MB(value), the search will only display volumes with a capacity of greater than 10 MB.
If you wish to save the search results, click the Save Results button.
- The Save Dialog box appears. Select the path or folder you want the file to save to.
- Enter a name for the file into the File name field.
- Click Save to save the file and close the dialog box.
  NOTE: If you save the file with the .XML file extension, the file will be in XML format.
