Creating an ACU script file, Sample custom input script

Page 75 highlights

The -e switch information is used only if ACU must generate an error file. By default, ACU names the error file ERROR.ini and places it in the ACU working directory. Creating an ACU script file To create a valid ACU script file, use one of the following methods: • Modify the sample custom input script (on page 75). • Create a Capture file for capturing a configuration (on page 74). You can create a capture file from any server that has ACU loaded, and then modify the values of options in the file as necessary for the target system. This method is useful for applying a standard configuration to several servers that have similar storage resources. • Write an original script. Each line of text in an ACU script file is in the format option=value and can be written in uppercase or lowercase letters. For information about possible option values and the minimum configuration information that a valid script must have, see the sample custom input script (on page 75). You can add blank lines and comments to any script to make it easier to read and understand. To create a comment, enter a semicolon, and then enter the comment text. ACU ignores all text on the same line after a semicolon. Sample custom input script The sample script in this section gives all possible values for each option. • If an option is shown in bold type, you must enter a value for that option when writing your own script. • If a value is shown in bold type, ACU uses that value as a default setting when creating new logical drives. You can use this script as a template for your own script. Action = Configure|Reconfigure Method = Custom|Auto ; COMMENT: ACU cannot create a RAID 50 or RAID 60 configuration in Auto mode.

The
-e
switch information is used only if ACU must generate an error file. By default, ACU names the
error file ERROR.ini and places it in the ACU working directory.
Creating an ACU script file
To create a valid ACU script file, use one of the following methods:
Modify the sample custom input script (on page
75
).
Create a Capture file for capturing a configuration (on page
74
).
You can create a capture file from any server that has ACU loaded, and then modify the values of
options in the file as necessary for the target system. This method is useful for applying a standard
configuration to several servers that have similar storage resources.
Write an original script.
Each line of text in an ACU script file is in the format
option
=
value
and can be written in uppercase
or lowercase letters. For information about possible option values and the minimum configuration
information that a valid script must have, see the sample custom input script (on page
75
).
You can add blank lines and comments to any script to make it easier to read and understand. To create
a comment, enter a semicolon, and then enter the comment text. ACU ignores all text on the same line
after a semicolon.
Sample custom input script
The sample script in this section gives all possible values for each option.
If an
option
is shown in bold type, you must enter a value for that option when writing your own
script.
If a
value
is shown in bold type, ACU uses that value as a default setting when creating new logical
drives.
You can use this script as a template for your own script.
