V$CELL_CONFIG

If you ever wondered how you can convert XML information in v$cell_config on Exadata database servers into relational rows and columns so you can get a nice view of the cell configuration without going into the cell itself then here is a nice piece of SQL which does the job. I'm using celldisks as an example and selecting only a number of column so the output fits nicely on the screen:

SQL> select cellname,
  2    name,
  3    deviceName,
  4    diskType,
  5    round(freeSpace/power(1024,3), 2) freeSpace,
  6    round(disk_size/power(1024,3), 2) disk_size
  7   from (
  8    select cellname, XMLTYPE.createXML(confval) confval
  9     from v$cell_config
 10     where conftype='CELLDISKS'
 11      and cellname='192.168.12.3'
 12    ) v,
 13    xmltable('/cli-output/celldisk' passing v.confval
 14     columns
 15      name varchar(15) path 'name',
 16      creationtime varchar(25) path 'creationTime',
 17      deviceName varchar(9) path 'deviceName',
 18      devicePartition varchar2(10) path 'devicePartition',
 19      diskType varchar2(9) path 'diskType',
 20      errorCount number path 'errorCount',
 21      freeSpace number path 'freeSpace',
 22      id varchar2(50) path 'id',
 23      interleaving varchar(10) path 'interleaving',
 24      lun varchar2(5) path 'lun',
 25      raidLevel number path 'raidLevel',
 26      disk_size number path 'size',
 27      status varchar2(10) path 'status'
 28   );

Of course, the same approach can be applied to get other information out (like Grid Disks, etc.).
