Help with ksh using OR condition
I'm having an issue using OR condition, the script seems to work just fine but gives an error message while executing as can be seen in BOLD RED below:

Code:
Code:
#cat test.sh
#!/bin/ksh
set -x
if [ "lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs | grep -v "Virtual Fibre Channel"" ] || [ "lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs | grep "Virtual"" ] > /dev/null 2>&1;then
        echo "Fibre adapter found"
else
        echo "No fibre adapter"
fi

Output:
Code:
 #./test.out
+ [ lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs | grep -v Virtual Fibre Channel ]
./test.out[3]: Fibre: 0403-012 A test command parameter is not valid.
+ [ lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs | grep Virtual ]
+ 1> /dev/null 2>& 1
+ echo Fibre adapter found
Fibre adapter found


Thanks

Script is very buggy and does not execute the "lsdev" commands at all.
Gone for a think.

If you're just testing to make sure your AIX box sees the fibre cards, then this may help point you in the right direction:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
set -x
COUNT=$(lsdev -Cc adapter | egrep -c -e 'fcs' 2>/dev/null)
if [ ${COUNT} -gt 0 ]
then
        echo "Fibre adapter found"
else
        echo "No fibre adapter"
fi

Hope this helps.

Help with ksh using OR condition
You're right, the script is not working the way it should after I added the OR (||) condition, can someone help me with the correct way to add the OR condition as I'm trying to test to see if AIX box has either the physical fibre card or the virtual.

It always helps to mention what Operating System and version you have.
On HP-UX the "lsdev" commands posted are syntax errors.

Please can you post a standalone valid "lsdev" command and matching output which contains the the word "Virtual".
It might be:
Code:
lsdev -C adapter

It might not!

I am absolutly certain that this script (in post #1) does not execute the "lsdev" command at all. It's just got text strings in double quotes which happen to be commands.

Help with ksh using OR condition
Here is the below output from OS AIX6.1, the 1st lsdev output is using Virtual adapters and the other one physical.

Code:
#lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs | grep "Virtual"
fcs0 Available 00-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
fcs1 Available 01-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
fcs2 Available 00-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
fcs3 Available 01-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter

#lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs | grep -v "Virtual"
fcs0   Available 03-08 FC Adapter
fcs1   Available 01-08 FC Adapter

The script by in2nix4life in post #3 appears to be exactly what you need.
If you feel that you need to match on more than "fcs" I'm sure you can adapt the post.


Your original script was beyond economical repair (tongue in cheek).
