Using IFHW to detect a particular PCI card or device can be valuable in determining which settings to apply. For example, an array controller used as a boot controller might require a RAID 1 setting, while an optional array controller used for a database (such as a Smart Array 5312 Controller) might require a RAID 5 ADG setting. The following example demonstrates how to use IFHW to detect a particular card or device:
REM *** Configure the array controllers by reading the configuration
REM *** information in the script file and stamping it onto the array
REM *** controllers of the target server
echo Configuring the Array Controllers...
