Excellent!  Good to know it works with OMSA < 5.0 as I don't have any 
installations of that.  For information it works with my PERC 5 hardware on 
PowerEdge 2950s.  You may want to make sure you're running the latest 
version (updated Jan of this year) which has much more simplified output and 
is far more hardware-difference tolerant.

You're using my RAID script widely?  That's good to know and rather 
pleasing.  We have a separate OMSA hardware script as well which outputs 
like the below:

System Summary

------------------------------------------------------
Status green: All devices look okay

... which seems to do the job.  I'd be interested if you've got one that 
managed to present it better/squeeze more useful information out of OMSA 
than we have.

I recommend doing so.

Much appreciated.  Please let me know if there are any issues with the RAID 
script!
