Finding available LUN ID

hmarko · ‎2014-06-10

Hi.

My customer uses one VMFS datastore lun within a volume and the naming convention logic includes the LUN ID used to map the lun to the ESX cluster:

ex:

/vol/PRD_Datastore_23/prd_datastore_23/prd_datastore_23.lun will be mapped to all igroups starting with (EsxpX) usign LUN ID 23.

I created the following select statement to provide a list of all available LUN id from 0-254 that the operator can chose from, just need your help to see if there is more elegant way to achieve it.

I don't have a more elegant solution for you but here are a couple of solutions that have shorter queries

1.

SELECT

num

FROM

(

SELECT @ROW := @ROW + 1 AS num FROM

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t1,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t2,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t3,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t4,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t5,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t6,

(SELECT 0 UNION SELECT 1 ) t7,

(SELECT @ROW:=-1) r

) ids

WHERE

ids.num <> 255

AND

ids.num NOT IN (

SELECT

lunmap.lun_map_value

FROM

cm_storage.lunmap,

cm_storage.igroup

WHERE

igroup.id=lunmap.igroup_id

AND igroup.name REGEXP '${ESXCluster}[0-9]+'

)

2. Use your inner query to create a table called ids in the playground database that comes with WFA installation

so your user input query becomes

SELECT

num

FROM

playground.ids

WHERE

ids.num NOT IN (

SELECT

lunmap.lun_map_value

FROM

cm_storage.lunmap,

cm_storage.igroup

WHERE

igroup.id=lunmap.igroup_id

AND igroup.name REGEXP '${ESXCluster}[0-9]+'

)

Hi hmarko,

You could also refer to the following post from a couple of months back as well:

Hope this helps.
