DOS Utilities Build/Verify Operations on RAID 10 Arrays For a RAID 10 array, the status message indicates the percent of the build/verify completed for the parent and child tasks. The status updates to OK when the tasks are complete. A sample RAID 10 build status is as follows: Array #1 Status : BUILD/VERIFY = 30% Script File Syntax An ACU script file consists of one of the following: I Array definition block-Specifies the properties of an array, such as type, size, and cache settings. The block begins with the keyword Array and ends with the keyword End. I Channel definition block-Specifies the properties of a controller channel, such as ControllerID. The block begins with the keyword Channel and ends with the keyword End. Each array or channel property consists of a property keyword and assigned value, separated by an equal sign (=). Each property must be on its own line in the script. The order of properties within a block (other than the starting Array or Channel keyword, and the ending End keyword) is not significant. Some array properties, such as Type, are required; others are optional. The table below lists and describes array definition block properties, indicates which properties are optional, and provides the default value used when that property is not specified. All keywords can be written in any combination of upper- or lowercase characters. Script lines can include any number of spaces and tabs both within keywords, or when separating keywords and their values. Blank lines are ignored. The pound character (#) indicates the start of a comment. The ACU ignores all characters on a line that begins with a pound sign. You can use comments following array property assignments or on their own lines. See Invoking the ACU and Using a Script on page B-34 for a sample script that includes comments. B-24

Build/Verify Operations on RAID 10 Arrays
For a RAID 10 array, the status message indicates the percent of the
build/verify completed for the parent and child tasks. The status
updates to
OK
when the tasks are complete. A sample RAID 10
build status is as follows:
Array #1 Status : BUILD/VERIFY = 30%
Script File Syntax
An ACU script file consists of one of the following:
Array definition block
Specifies the properties of an array,
such as type, size, and cache settings. The block begins with the
keyword
Array
and ends with the keyword
End
.
Channel definition block
Specifies the properties of a
controller channel, such as
ControllerID
. The block begins
with the keyword
Channel
and ends with the keyword
End
.
Each array or channel property consists of a property keyword
and
assigned value, separated by an equal sign (=). Each property must
be on its own line in the script. The order of properties within a
block (other than the starting
Array
or
Channel
keyword, and the
ending
End
keyword) is not significant.
Some array properties, such as
Type
, are required; others are
optional. The table below lists and describes array definition block
properties, indicates which properties are optional, and provides
the default value used when that property is not specified.
All keywords can be written in any combination of upper- or
lowercase characters. Script lines can include any number of spaces
and tabs both within keywords, or when separating keywords and
their values. Blank lines are ignored.
The pound character (
#
) indicates the start of a comment. The ACU
ignores all characters on a line that begins with a pound sign. You
can use comments following array property assignments or on
their own lines. See
Invoking the ACU and Using a Script
on
page B-34
for a sample script that includes comments.
