Why is omreport storage vdisk controller=0 inconsistant output across servers

I wrote a script fetching the RAID configuration of the latest VirtualDisk.

On one server I get :

# omreport storage vdisk controller=0 -fmt ssv | awk '-F;' '/^ID/{print}/Virtual\s*Disk\s*[0-9]+;/{line=$0;value=$7}END{print line;print value}'
ID;Status;Name;State;Hot Spare Policy violated;Encrypted;Layout;Size;T10 Protection Information Status;Associated Fluid Cache State ;Device Name;Bus Protocol;Media;Read Policy;Write Policy;Cache Policy;Stripe Element Size;Disk Cache Policy
14;Ok;VirtualDisk16;Ready;Not Applicable;No;RAID-0;7,451.50 GB (8000987201536 bytes);No;Not Applicable;/dev/sdo;SAS;HDD;No Read Ahead;Write Through;Not Applicable;64 KB;Unchanged
RAID-0

On another server, I get :

# omreport storage vdisk controller=0 -fmt ssv | awk '-F;' '/^ID/{print}/Virtual\s*Disk\s*[0-9]+;/{line=$0;value=$7}END{print line;print value}'
ID;Status;Name;State;Hot Spare Policy violated;Virtual Disk Bad Blocks;Encrypted;Layout;Size;T10 Protection Information Status;Associated Fluid Cache State ;Device Name;Bus Protocol;Media;Read Policy;Write Policy;Cache Policy;Stripe Element Size;Disk Cache Policy

No

The difference between these two servers is the PERC H730 Mini firmware version :

According to omreport system version, the first has PERC H730 Mini v25.5.2.0001 and the second PERC H730 Mini v25.5.0.0018.

It probably depends on different omreport or firmware versions. In general, be careful tailoring your script for very specific output, as any small change can break your parsing.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
