Category HBA Options ConnectionName HBA_WW_ID HostMode Description These options specify an HBA that is to be configured. Control category The Control category has the following options: • Action mode (on page 77) • Method mode (on page 77) 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. If you use the -reset command line switch, the existing controller configuration is cleared with data loss as the first step in the configuration process. This command line switch is not compatible with Reconfigure mode. 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.

HostMode
These options specify an HBA that is to be configured.
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.
If you use the
-reset
command line switch, the existing controller configuration is cleared with data loss as
the first step in the configuration process. This command line switch is not compatible with Reconfigure mode.
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.
