can this be run directly from Isilon ?

Hi, i am having issues running the script directly on the Isilon? trying to run there to get the capacity details for the allocated shares.
its failing in the first step itself, datetime - Isilon has python 2.7 installed

I designed the script as a pre migration tool. The idea is to calculate "if I were to migrate this data on a host to an Isilon/Powerscale system, how much space will it take up?".

The answer to this is pretty complex as you'd have to know how large each file is, the protection scheme to be used and how many nodes there are (and you'd have to calculate this for each file!).

If the data is already on the array this should be easier to simply measure (df or Isi-get for example), but you are welcome to adapt the script to run directly on a node (as noted Python is already installed on the nodes).
