It can be useful to copy and archive naz and nar files from all arrays to a local server. It’s useful for helping EMC with troubleshooting efforts, general health checks, and researching historical trends. I use them often with our EMC technical rep when a workload analysis is done, and it’s much faster to simply have them all copied somewhere automatically on a daily basis.
Not all of our arrays have an analyzer license, so the files are stored in “naz” format rather than “nar” format. The naz files need to be sent to emc for decryption before they can be used by a customer.
The windows shell script below will store the current date in a variable, attempt to start analyzer and then pull the current file. Arrays that don’t have an analyzer license will only run data collection for a maximum of 7 days. The script attempts to start the service every day, so if it happens to have been 7 days it will start back up. I set the archive interval to 600 seconds and run the script every 24 hours.
