  • @manukainkc well said.

  • There's no guarantee that the sort in Excel will put the data in the correct order, thus rendering it completely meaningless.

    Someone in engineering clearly was asleep at the switch on this process. This has got to be the most brain-dead way of getting statistics out of the SAN. The CSV output doesn't even lend itself well to making a pivot table.

    That the smCLI can't even provide decent machine-readable data is a monumental failure of what should be a core component of the basic feature set.

  • Somehow it won't Generate a Graph for me. At best i can get a flat line in the graph. For some reason, the graph doesn't see the data in the cell so it makes it only zeros
