如何简化以后在NetApp 7-模式下的解析？

Question

I would like to parse and extract useful information from several Netapp commands output such as sysconfig , uptime and so on.

I had already done it on Netapp Clustered Mode (C-Mode) because set command made my life much easier with this kind of sentences:

• Custom delimiter character:

   set -showseparator '!'; 

• Unlimited terminal lenght.

   set -rows 0; 

• Show all fields

   set -showallfields true; 

However, set command does not exist in Netapp 7-Mode. ¿Does any one know something similar to modify the terminal length, units, field separator?

This is the version I have in hands:

3250-01> version
NetApp Release 8.1.2P4 7-Mode: Fri Apr 26 19:57:25 PDT 2013

Answer 1

There is no similar functionality in 7-mode. You have to parse the output. It's not too bad for some commands (like df or version ) but others have formatting, and it gets very messy (like aggr show_space and vol status )

The closest you get is to make API calls and parse resultant XML. That's a bit more complicated, but I've got some example code of how it might work.
