Choose one of the valid drive types: [SCSI | SAS | SATA | SATASSD | SASSSD] The value is often used with the wildcard (*) or number argument for Drive. Join To use the Join command, observe the following requirements: • The system must be offline. • The -offline command line flag must be set when you start ACU Scripting. The command fails if the OS reports that any of the volumes involved in the join are in use. CAUTION: Executing the Join command on an online system can result in kernel panics, blue screens, and/or data loss. The Split command converts a RAID 1 or RAID 10 logical volume into two RAID 0 logical volumes. The Join option reverses the splitting process by recombining the two RAID 0 volumes into a single RAID 1 or RAID 10 volume, depending on the number of physical disks. For this process, ID is the ID of the resulting volume that was joined. All data on the other volume is lost. Array = C Join = A After the command executes, Array C is removed, and its physical drives are now a mirror of the drives in Array A. The original contents of Array C are lost. OnlineSpare The value for this option determines whether the array specified previously in the script will be configured with spare drives. The interface type for drives and spare drives must match, for example, all SAS or all SATA.

Choose one of the valid drive types:
[SCSI | SAS | SATA | SATASSD | SASSSD]
The value is often used with the wildcard (*) or number argument for
Drive
.
Join
To use the
Join
command, observe the following requirements:
•
The system must be offline.
•
The -offline command line flag must be set when you start ACU Scripting.
The command fails if the OS reports that any of the volumes involved in the join are in use.
CAUTION:
Executing the Join command on an online system can result in kernel panics, blue
screens, and/or data loss.
The
Split
command converts a RAID 1 or RAID 10 logical volume into two RAID 0 logical volumes. The
Join
option reverses the splitting process by recombining the two RAID 0 volumes into a single RAID 1 or
RAID 10 volume, depending on the number of physical disks.
For this process, ID is the ID of the resulting volume that was joined. All data on the other volume is lost.
Array = C
Join = A
After the command executes, Array C is removed, and its physical drives are now a mirror of the drives in
Array A. The original contents of Array C are lost.
OnlineSpare
The value for this option determines whether the array specified previously in the script will be configured
with spare drives.
The interface type for drives and spare drives must match, for example, all SAS or all SATA.
Method mode
Possible values
Default value
Custom
To specify exactly which drives to use as spares,
use the applicable convention (port:ID, box:bay,
or port:box:bay).
To specify only the number of spares (not the
exact IDs), enter that number as the value for this
option. ACU automatically selects only those
drives that are suitable for the array.
To specify that the array should not have spares,
enter
None
.
In Configure action mode: None
In Reconfigure action mode, ACU
ignores any value entered for this
option and keeps any spares that are
already present in the configuration.
Auto
Yes (indicating one spare)
No
In Configure action mode: Yes
(indicating one spare)
In Reconfigure action mode, ACU
ignores any value entered for this
option and keeps any spares that are
already present in the configuration.
Split
This command splits RAID 1 or RAID 10 volumes into individual RAID 0 volumes.
Two values are available:
