You can use Python scripts to troubleshoot App Volumes functionality.
The scripts described below require Python 2.7.9 or higher.
Retrieve Mapping Details for Applications Assignments
The script below retrieves details for assignments in your environment.
Usage:
usage: mapping_details.py [-h] [-t TYPE] [-p XMP_PORT] [-o CSV_PATH] [-u SEARCH_USER] [-g SEARCH_GROUP] [-d SEARCH_DOMAIN] xmp_host xmp_domain xmp_user xmp_password positional arguments: xmp_host XMP host url xmp_domain XMP user domain xmp_user XMP user name xmp_password XMP user password optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -t TYPE, --type TYPE All, AppVolumes, DaaS -p XMP_PORT, --port XMP_PORT XMP host port -o CSV_PATH, --output CSV_PATH Output csv file path -u SEARCH_USER, --user SEARCH_USER Search user name -g SEARCH_GROUP, --group SEARCH_GROUP Search group name -d SEARCH_DOMAIN, --domain SEARCH_DOMAIN Search domain nameScript format:

Retrieve Details for Attach and Detach Failures
The script below retrieves details for attach and detatch failures, including those involving AppStacks.
Usage:
usage: fetch_volume_failures.py [-h] [-t SEARCH_DURATION] [-u SEARCH_USER] [-d SEARCH_DOMAIN] [-s PAGE_SIZE] [-c | -v | -o CSV_PATH] login_host login_domain login_user login_password positional arguments: login_host Login host url in format hostname<:port> login_domain Login user domain login_user Login user name login_password Login user password optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -t SEARCH_DURATION, --time SEARCH_DURATION Last1Hour, Last12Hour, Last24Hour, Last72Hour, All -u SEARCH_USER, --user SEARCH_USER Search user name -d SEARCH_DOMAIN, --domain SEARCH_DOMAIN Search domain name -s PAGE_SIZE, --size PAGE_SIZE Size of each page of the results -c, --concise Print results in concise view -v, --verbose Print results in itemed view -o CSV_PATH, --output CSV_PATH Output to csv file in given path (default)Script format:
python fetch_volume_failures.py <IP/FQDN> <domain> <username> '<password>'
Code Examples:
python fetch_volume_failures.py 10.111.24.65 falcon administrator '<password>' # output as volume_failures.csv for last 1 hour python fetch_volume_failures.py 10.111.24.65 falcon administrator '<password>' -v # show results of last 1 hour in screen python fetch_volume_failures.py 10.111.24.65 falcon administrator '<password>' -t Last24Hour # show last 24 hour result python fetch_volume_failures.py 10.111.24.65 falcon administrator '<password>' -t All -u hez -d vmwarem # show all results of hez@vmwarem for last 1 hour
Each failure record includes the following information:
Timestamp
Writable? - Indicates whether this is a writable volume (Y) or AppStack (N).
Note:Writable Volumes is a Beta feature. Please contact your VMware representative for more information.
Attach/Detach - Indicates whether this is an attach failure or a detach failure.
User/domain - Username and domain for which the failure occurred.
File location - File location. Format is <datacenter>/<node>/<vcenter>/<datastore>/<vmdk path>
VM Location - File location. Format is <datacenter>/<node>/<vcenter>/<vm name>
When you see attach/detach failures, it is recommended that you check on the following:
Is the user a member of the appropriate group?
Is the agent on the desktop installed and up-to-date?
You can also record the failure information for inclusion with a support request.
Note:You will also see notifications in the user interface that include basic information for these failures (i.e. number of failures and number of users affected). For more information on notifications, see Notifications Page.
