It's non-interactive if you pass it a commandline, though.  I have a
Big Brother script that does this (amongst other things):

  # Gather Data 
  CONTROLLERS=$($AACCLI controller list | awk '/PERC/ { print $1 }')
  OUT_AAC="Controller list: $CONTROLLERS
  "
  CMD_AAC="task list /all : controller details : container list /full : disk list /full : disk show smart /full : enclosure list /full : enclosure show status"

  for c in $CONTROLLERS ; do
    OUT_AAC=$OUT_AAC$($AACCLI open /readonly $c : $CMD_AAC)
  done

It then processes the contents of $OUT_AAC to determine if the array's
happy or not.
