hello,

iostat -En | grep Vendor | grep -v DV | awk '{print $1 $2}' | sort -u

returns

Vendor:HP

I want to append Disk to it. i.e.:

Disk Vendor:HP
how to do that?
thanks

Try:

append_vendor=Disk`iostat -En | grep Vendor | grep -v DV | awk '{print $1 $2}' | sort -u`

echo $append_vendor

append_vendor would have DiskVendor

nua that's a perfect example of Useless Use of Grep + sort + echo....

hi,

bash$ iostat -En|awk '/Vendor/ && !/DV/ && !a[$1]++{print "Disk "$1 $2}'

awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1

any idea please?

thanks.

hi, could u post the result of the following command:

BTW , use:

same result for the 2nd command

I am using Solaris 8 and 10

Also note that this works perfectly:

iostat -En|awk '/Vendor/ && !/DV/ {print "Disk "$1 $2}'
