The first logical drive on an array must have an ID of 1 (not 0), and logical drive numbering must be contiguous. • In Configure action mode, ACU accepts only the ID number of the next possible logical drive. • In Reconfigure action mode, ACU also accepts the ID number of any existing logical drive.

ArrayAccelerator
This option specifies whether the array accelerator is enabled or disabled for the specified logical drive.
The default value is Enabled.
LogicalDrive
The value that you enter for this option specifies the ID number of the logical drive that is to be created or
modified. The first logical drive on an array must have an ID of 1 (not 0), and logical drive numbering
must be contiguous.
In Configure action mode, ACU accepts only the ID number of the next possible logical drive.
In Reconfigure action mode, ACU also accepts the ID number of any existing logical drive.
