Need the “msacli.exe” file for monitoring P2000 SAN. IOPS values needed

hphp-modular-smart-arrayiopsmonitoringstorage-area-network

Hi i need some performance stats from our MSA p2000 SAN. The Problem is that i want to have the values i get when i connect via SSH and use the command "show vdisk-statistics". This command shows me the IOPS for all vdisks. But this are values just from the actual moment. I want to have some values over a period of time…

The Webinterface of the p2000 doesn't provide me this values.

Now i found some tips on the internet like here:
http://www.remilner.co.uk/prtg-monitoring-a-hp-p2000-g3-msa/

this would be a great solution for me, but the problem is, that i can not find the msacli.exe anywhere. Does anyone know where to get this file? I didn't found it on official HP sites…

EDIT: HP-Support told me that this tool isn't available anymore… :-/
I also tried to get the values via "POSH-SSH" and Powershell and "plink.exe" but POSH-SSH gets an error and in plink.exe i don't know how i can save the console output…

You're really not going to be able to get this information out of an MSA or P2000 storage array. At least, no historical information. You could parse the output from the SSL CLI at regular intervals, but that's not ideal.

This is just a disadvantage of the platform.

You may want to check with the OEM, DotHill to see if anything is available from their side.
