Simple file manipulation (lining up fields)

[Jackiebaron]

Hi all

I have the output of a command but the fields spill onto two lines, eg:

# /opt/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -d

0 BE-STK9940B-0402 hcart2 TLD(4) DRIVE=3
/dev/rmt/5cbn UP
1 BE-STK9940B-0405 hcart2 TLD(4) DRIVE=6
/dev/rmt/3cbn UP
2 BE-STK9940B-0408 hcart2 TLD(4) DRIVE=9
/dev/rmt/6cbn UP

....etc

And I want to get all 7 fields onto one line, e.g.:

0 BE-STK9940B-0402 hcart2 TLD(4) DRIVE=3 /dev/rmt/5cbn UP
1 BE-STK9940B-0405 hcart2 TLD(4) DRIVE=6 /dev/rmt/3cbn UP

...etc.

Thanks for any help

A starting point:
/opt/openv/volmgr/bin/tpconfig -d | awk 'NR%2{x=$0;next}{print x $0}'
