Script file options

Options in ACU script files are divided into the following categories:

Each category has several scripting options, but you do not always need to assign values to every option. ACU can use default values in some instances, while in other instances, a listed option might not be relevant for a particular configuration or scripting mode.

The options for each category are listed in the following table and described in more detail in the remainder of this section.

These options define the overall behavior of ACU when it processes scripts and creates configurations. Control options can occur only once in a script file and must be listed first.

SSPState

WriteCache

Options in this category specify the controller that is to be configured (or the controller that had its configuration captured). Although the Controller option must begin this section of the script, you can script other options in this category in any order.

You can use one script file to configure all controllers in a system, and you can configure the controllers identically or individually. If you define each controller configuration individually, enter the option values for one controller and its arrays and logical drives before specifying the option values for another controller.

Array

Array

Drive

DriveType

OnlineSpare

These options describe an array that is to be configured on the controller that was previously specified in the script. (If no controller was previously specified, ACU stops processing the script and creates an error file.) Although the Array option must begin this section of the script, you can script the other options in this category in any order.

Logical Drive

ArrayAccelerator

LogicalDrive

ParityGroups

Size

SSPAdaptersWithAccess

StripeSize

These options describe a logical drive that is to be configured on an array that was previously specified in the script. (If no array was previously specified, ACU stops processing the script and creates an error file.) Although the LogicalDrive option must begin this section of the script, you can script the other options in this category in any order.

HBA

ConnectionName

HBA_WW_ID

HostMode

These options specify an HBA that is to be configured.
