Automated Cluster setup script I wrote. I found that there were already scripts out there that did pieces of it, but none I found that ran the test parsed it and then continue to building it. It could probably be better and there are probably more "status codes" it could throw, but it has worked well enough for us so far. I won't post the whole thing as there is some stuff I would have to rip out for proprietary reasons, but at least the portion that looks at the report and continues.
