Can someone help i need to write a script that will allow me to get the DriveName (i.e. Dr115 or Dr116) based on the DrvIndex valued calculated before.
vmoprcmd command give you the following information below.
DrvIndex DriveName
0 Dr115
1 Dr116
DriveName=`vmoprcmd | grep $DriveIndex | grep Dr | awk '{print $2}'`
I written the above code, but it give me Dr115 correctly, but when it goes to Dr116, it gives me DR115 and Dr116.
Dr115 is Down
Dr115
Dr116 is Down
Can someone provide some advice?

King Regards
Junes

Junes, your problem is that the grep looks at the entire line, so the grep for 1 finds the 1's in both DR115 and DR116.
We need to search just the first word for the desired value such as 0 or 1:
DriveName=`vmoprcmd | awk '$1=='$DriveIndex' {print $2}'`
