I have a Big Brother script that does this (amongst other things): # Gather Data CONTROLLERS=$($AACCLI controller list | awk '/PERC/ { print $1 }') OUT_AAC="Controller list: $CONTROLLERS " CMD_AAC="task list /all : controller details : container list /full : disk list /full : disk show smart /full : enclosure list /full : enclosure show status" for c in $CONTROLLERS ; do OUT_AAC=$OUT_AAC$($AACCLI open /readonly $c : $CMD_AAC) done It then processes the contents of $OUT_AAC to determine if the array's happy or not. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
