The default strip size value depends on the action mode:
•
In Configure action mode, the default value is determined by the RAID level that you specified earlier in
the script.
•
In Reconfigure action mode, the default value for this option is the strip size that is already configured
for the logical drive. If you enter a value that is different from the existing strip size, ACU attempts to
migrate the logical drive to the strip size that you specify. (If you intend to migrate the logical drive, back
up all data before starting the migration procedure.)
HBA category
The HBA category has the following options:
•
ConnectionName (on page
83
)
•
HBA_WW_ID (on page
83
)
•
HostMode (on page
83
)
ConnectionName
This option is a user-defined string used as the connection name for the specified HBA.
The string can consist of:
•
A maximum of 16 characters
•
Embedded space characters but cannot end with a space character
•
Any of the following characters: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, !, @, #, *, (, ), -
, _, +, :, ., /, and [space]
HBA_WW_ID
This option specifies which HBA, based on its assigned WWN, is modified by the configuration changes.
HostMode
This option specifies the HostMode for a selected HBA. Setting the Host Mode optimizes the storage array for
the selected operating system. The available host modes for an HBA are device-specific. Not all modes are
available on all devices. Not all HBAs support a HostMode.
