For quickies you can also just add them to the commandline with the
delimiter:

$ aaccli  open aac0 : container list : disk list

You can change the delimiter with the -d option if you need something
other then :

Handy.

On the disk list topic, I had a disk disappear from the list this morning.
The first time I ran disk list, aaccli paused while trying to contact the
disk, then listed it as offline:


Executing: disk list

C:ID:L  Device Type     Blocks    Bytes/Block Usage            Shared Rate
------  --------------  --------- ----------- ---------------- ------ ----
1:00:0   Disk            17916240  512         Initialized      NO     80
1:01:0   Disk            17916240  512         Initialized      NO     80

1:02:0   Disk            0         0           Offline          NO     0


Since then the offline disk no longer shows at all

C:ID:L  Device Type     Blocks    Bytes/Block Usage            Shared Rate
------  --------------  --------- ----------- ---------------- ------ ----
1:00:0   Disk            17916240  512         Initialized      NO     306
1:01:0   Disk            17916240  512         Initialized      NO     306


Sort of annoying, since the later report has no indication that it ever
knew the disk was there.

The container list /does/ have a very minor indication that there is a
problem with the disk:

 0    RAID-5  200MB       64KB Open    1:00:0 64.0KB: 100MB
 /dev/aacd0                            1:01:0 64.0KB: 100MB
                                       1:02:0 64.0KB! 100MB


Notice the "!" instead of a ":" for 1:02:0.


Just fwiw, something to keep an eye out for.
