Is there a robust way of scripting (Unix shell) lun provisioning for an EMC Clariion? Navicli doesn't look very reliable, its output is not easy to parse (and just plain weird), and it does not look like it returns useful error codes.
I want something I could use like LVM, if that exists, e.g.:
if ! lvcreate -n $lunname -L $size $volumegroup
then
echo "Failed" >&2
exit 1
fi
A consultant told me that EMC writes terrible software on purpose so that they can sell very expensive add-ons, but I can not believe it's true.
