cDOT Mini Projects I’d Like to do if I had the Time

A few cDOT mini projects I’d like to do if I had the time...

1) vCheck for cDOT

See here: http://www.virtu-al.net/vcheck-pluginsheaders/vcheck/

2) Apache Perl / IIS PowerShell Web Forms, customizable Web Browser based pre/post change Health Check tool/Auditor

3) Backup and restore of Cluster/SVM config items tool

4) cDOT AV Connector Automated Deployment/Upgrades

5) ONTAP Buttons

In this post I showed it’s possible to have a batch file that is also a PowerShell script. So, I was thinking it would be cool to have a suite of PowerShell applet like buttons that you can invoke by simply double-clicking a file. Some of the things I’d convert to this format I have the basic code for already. Ideas (endless possibilities - hence this is the last item in my list):

- Volume Snapshot Reserve resizer

- Synchronizing cron schedules cluster to cluster

- Tidy up of unused/unnecessary cron schedules

- Synchronizing snapshot policies

- Synchronizing snapshot policies on volumes

- Synchronizing volume efficiency policies

- Synchronizing snapmirror policies

- Storing snapmirror schedules in destination volume comments

- Storing snapmirror schedules in source volume comments

- Storing snapvault policies and schedules in destination volume comments

- Storing snapvault policies and schedules in source volume comments

- Snapmirror schedule re-distributor (i.e. for changing separation of snapmirror schedules from say 10 to 3 minute)

- Synchronizing quota policies and rules

- Synchronizing CIFS shares

- Tidy up of unnecessary shares on DR

- Synchronizing UNIX groups

- Tidy up of unnecessary UNIX groups

- Synchronizing UNIX users

- Tidy up of unnecessary UNIX users

- Synchronizing name-mappings

- Tidy up of unnecessary name-mappings (including rationalization where the default domain name-mapping will work)

- Synchronizing NFS exports and rules

- Tidying up unnecessary export-policies

- Tidying up dead clients in export-policy rules

- Volume Max Autosize Resizer (i.e. SnapVaults have a default 90TB max autosize which sets of OCUM’s over provisioning alert)

- Flexclone split estimator

And on, and on ...
