It's not that the SDK is too big of a hammer, but that between bash and perl using ssh to interface, I have everything I currently need. I'm thinking I'll start needing the SDK when we get a little more self-service here and allow our clients to spin up their own resources internally.
I know that powershell is a very well designed tool, but I don't have access to a windows server- all our storage is managed through AIX.

Have you looked at the NetApp Management SDK, or is that too large of a hammer for your needs?

I might open one, then. Interactive is fine for some things, but any time you want to automate or do large numbers of something, it is easier to use non-interactive commands- you can't use loops, string editing, or multiple systems from inside an interactive shell.

Reading back on the thread, there are really 2 asks here, both asks are
relevant and both a would cover this particular use-case, however both
would also be more valid for other things.
1. the sort option inside cDOT as a command that can be used in admin
level non-interactive sessions. Obviously the single column sort is
useful, but it'd be awesomer if you can sort by multiple columns (e.g.
group by SVMs, then sort by size, so volumes owned by different SVMs are
not sorted together) that's RFE 488456 Justin called out.
2. a second ask, that would cover this as well, would be to have the set
flags (-set data units, etc.) be persistent for a given user. If I always
want my size in bytes for interactive and noninteractive sessions, I
should be able to set that once, and future logins for that same user will
always do this. If you do that, then sed/awk/sort/etc. will be able to
solve this problem easily (and many more) as well. This would be burt
500834.
Completely agree with Justin. Open cases on this if you want either or
both of these features implemented.
