It works, (run /opt/hparray/bin/arrayscan )

In a command file called RAIDCHK, run a system without RAID
MANAGER.SYS>raidchk
 status: No AutoRAID controllers found
MANAGER.SYS>:


The same command file run on a system with RAIDCHK
:raidchk
2 AutoRAID controllers found
:help raidchk
USER DEFINED COMMAND FILE:  RAIDCHK.UTIL.SYS

#
#  Find AutoRAID controllers
#
run /opt/hparray/bin/arrayscan  > tempio
fgrep "-c Success" < tempio > tempio2
input xcnt < tempio2
setvar controller_cnt !xcnt
if !controller_cnt  = 0 then
 fgrep "status" < tempio
else
 echo !controller_cnt AutoRAID controllers found
endif

You could programmatically run /opt/hparray/bin/arrayscan directing
output to
a file and then check the contents of the file for something that looks
like
"ControllerSN: [whatever] PairSN: [whatever]  BackPlaneSN: [whatever]

I haven't tried this but it should work.
