Sure!  I wrote it (-:  Also it's available on Deadcat (the BB script 
archive) at http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=927 
(comments/suggestions appreciated!).

It's a very, very, very basic bit of shell (I never had time to make it do 
things in a smart or particularly impressive way) but it does the job as far 
as we're concerned.  From the Description text: "[...] The syntax should be 
simple enough that you can add any extra tests fairly easily. To do this you 
should look through "/opt/dell/srvadmin/sm/mibs/dcstorag.mib" for possible 
values for the field you wish to monitor."

Enjoy, or not (-:
