Category Logical Drive HBA Options ArrayAccelerator LogicalDrive LogicalDriveSSPState ParityGroups PreferredPath RAID Sectors Size SSPAdaptersWithAccess StripeSize ConnectionName HBA_WW_ID HostMode Description 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. These options specify an HBA that is to be configured. Control category The Control category has the following options: • Action mode (on page 78) • Method mode (on page 78) Action mode You must specify an Action mode: • In Configure mode, you can create new arrays, but you cannot modify existing arrays. The controller must be connected to unassigned physical drives for this mode to be available. • In Reconfigure mode, you can modify existing arrays. For example, you can set up an array expansion, a logical drive extension, or a migration. These procedures do not destroy data, unless you specifically want the data to be deleted. In this mode, ACU does not change an existing option setting unless you specifically script a different value for that option. Method mode The default value for this option is Auto. If you want to use Custom mode, you must specify it. In Auto mode, ACU can perform an expansion, extension, or migration without user intervention if the values that you set for other options imply that such an operation is necessary. Controller category The Controller category has the following options: • Controller (on page 79) • ChassisName (on page 79) • ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss (on page 79) • DeleteLicenseKey ("LicenseKey, DeleteLicenseKey" on page 80) • DPOEnable ("Video performance options" on page 81) HP Array Configuration Utility 78

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.

Control category
The Control category has the following options:
•
Action mode (on page

)
•
Method mode (on page

Action mode
You must specify an Action mode:
•
In Configure mode, you can create new arrays, but you cannot modify existing arrays. The controller
must be connected to unassigned physical drives for this mode to be available.
•
In Reconfigure mode, you can modify existing arrays. For example, you can set up an array
expansion, a logical drive extension, or a migration. These procedures do not destroy data, unless
you specifically want the data to be deleted. In this mode, ACU does not change an existing option
setting unless you specifically script a different value for that option.
Method mode
The default value for this option is Auto. If you want to use Custom mode, you must specify it.
In Auto mode, ACU can perform an expansion, extension, or migration without user intervention if the
values that you set for other options imply that such an operation is necessary.
Controller category
The Controller category has the following options:
•
Controller (on page

)
•
ChassisName (on page

•
ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss (on page
