ACU for DOS HotspareDrives Keyword HotspareDrives is an optional keyword, specifying the hotspares to assign to the array. The syntax for listing hotspares is the same as the Drives Keyword on page B-7. If HotspareDrives is not specified, no hotspares are assigned to the array. Notes: ■ HotspareDrives creates only dedicated hotspares. If the same drive is assigned to protect multiple arrays, only the last array that drive is assigned to is protected. ■ HotspareDrives does not verify that the available space on the specified hotspares is sufficient to serve as failover for the array. ■ When assigning hotspares to a multilevel array, HotspareDrives assigns all the hotspares in the list to all arrays within the multilevel array. Example HotspareDrives=0:0:0,0:1:0 InitializeAll Keyword If you want the ACU to initialize all drives connected to the controller and delete any existing arrays before any new arrays are created, even those that are not specified in any Drives keyword definition, specify InitializeAll=yes. Otherwise, the ACU initializes only those drives specified by the Drives keyword. ! Caution: Initializing a drive automatically deletes any existing arrays with that drive as their member. B-8

ACU for DOS
HotspareDrives Keyword
HotspareDrives
is an optional keyword, specifying the hotspares
to assign to the array. The syntax for listing hotspares is the same as
the
Drives Keyword
on page B-7
. If
HotspareDrives
is not specified,
no hotspares are assigned to the array.
Notes:
■
HotspareDrives
creates only dedicated hotspares. If the
same drive is assigned to protect multiple arrays, only the
last array that drive is assigned to is protected.
■
HotspareDrives
does not verify that the available space
on the specified hotspares is sufficient to serve as failover
for the array.
■
When assigning hotspares to a multilevel array,
HotspareDrives
assigns all the hotspares in the list to
all
arrays within the multilevel array.
Example
HotspareDrives=0:0:0,0:1:0
InitializeAll Keyword
If you want the ACU to initialize all
drives connected to the
controller and delete any existing arrays before any new arrays are
created, even those that are not specified in any
Drives
keyword
definition, specify
InitializeAll=yes
. Otherwise, the ACU
initializes only those drives specified by the
Drives
keyword.
Caution:
Initializing a drive automatically deletes any existing
arrays with that drive as their member.
