Generating volume_inventory.html for automation
Problem:
Generating the volume_inventory.html file requires you to log into NRM, and click on reports, then the volume you want to see the report on. Once there you can see a report of the current inventory. This however is unwieldy if you have more than just a few servers to run inventory on.
Solution:
The report will generate by going to the following url:
https://yourserver:8009/VolumeStatus/[volume]/INVENTORY2
You will need to authenticate as a server admin. This can be added in a script through wget.
Example:
wget https://yourserver:8009/VolumeStatus/[volume]/INVENTORY2--no-check-certificate --http-user=[server admin] --http-password=[password] --delete-after
replace [volume], [server admin], and [password] with appropriate values eg:
wget https://fakecompany.com:8009/VolumeStatus/SYS/INVE... --http-user=.admin.fake --http-password=fakepassword --delete-after
Environment:
This was done on a NetWare 6.5 sp5. wget can be run from many different types of OS' including NetWare.

Need to do exactly this however the sugestion doesn't seem to work. All I get is the downloaded login page not the volume inventory I was after. NW6.5 SP5 running wget on Win2K3.

You should also add a "-E" to add the .html extension, and a "--auth-no-challenge" to get the inventory file rather than the login screen file.
Additionally, there is a space between INVENTORY2 and the --no-check-certificate which is not in the example above.
