G'day.
I have a problem. Mostly a theoretical problem, granted, but a
problem:
We have machines with a variety of hardware RAID controllers, and
some that
don't have one at all. We want these monitored, which usually
involves some
vendor-specific binary blob, plus support code, installed and running.
Supporting *a* RAID controller isn't too hard; I have a fact that
pulls that
out and lets me install the right support.
In the event we got two RAID controllers in a single machine (or,
theoretically, I run into this elsewhere), how would I best go about
this?
As far as I can tell, this doesn't work; it matches nothing, ever:
$test = ['one', 'two']
case $test {
'one': { ... }
'two': { ... }
}
So, how can I make decisions about the content of that array?
My best guess, right now, is that I would need to use a define, then
expand
that using the array as the name, and have the content perform the
case
statement to include the appropriate class. Ick.
define what_a_nasty_hack () {
case $name {
'one': { ... }
'two': { ... }
}
}
what_a_nasty_hack { $test: }
Anyway, is there a better way to handle this that I can't see right
now, or is
this perhaps something that the language could stand enhancing?
It probably is a deserved language enhancement, but in the short term
a function is your best bet.
