VMAX houskeeping Script Overview

The Script has been created to provide an automated way of doing the housekeeping tasks in vmax. The script finds and deletes the unused devices in VMAX and hence freeing up the capacity. The script finds and removes the logins of HBAs that are no longer logged in.. The script finds and corrects the Null entries. All the checkpoints have been taken into consideration. The script creates a well documented history and logs for every device deletion The script notifies the users on regular intervals about the list of devices to be deleted. Follows process – creates ITD for each task.
