Revision 587 – Abbreviate the Suggested Nicknames (SNICKs) in PHC

Provided a way to generate abbreviated “Suggested Nicknames” (which I call “Estimates” in code, and “SNICK” or “Suggested NICKnames” in PHC).

A customer found that our generated nicknames for missing nicknames was entirely sufficient for his needs, but the names are very long; to make it a bit easier, the VICT will now allow –briefestimate to set for brief suggested nicknames, and –nobriefestimate to counter the setting back to verbose estimates. This is useful when using the -w or –wwn option.

The similar option in PHC is either –briefestimate or –briefsnicks when using the generated phc-Nicknames.csv file.

Revision 564 – (weak) Suggested Nicknames for Dot Hill Systems Modular Storage Array

Expanded the option “-w” from Suggested Nicknames for Known WWN Patterns to vict.jar such that vict.jar -w 217000c0ff012345 shows “P2000-012345-A2” giving suggested nicknames to (HP -rebadged) Dot Hill Systems Modular Storage Array P2000. This WWN Descriptor is not very precise, but is empirically-based. Additional WWPN samples would help guide a better, more precise solution.
