If you use Custom method mode, choose one of the following methods to specify the drives to be used in the array. Different arrays on the same controller can use different methods. • To specify individual drives, use the applicable convention (port:ID, box:bay, or port:box:bay). • To specify only the number of drives to use (not which specific drive IDs to use), enter that number as the value for this option. For example, if you enter drive=3, HP SSA uses the first three available drives to build or expand the array that you define in the remainder of the script. HP SSA automatically determines which drives are suitable to use. • To use all available drives, enter an asterisk as the value for this option. An array that is configured using this method cannot have a spare. DriveType The value that you enter for this option specifies the type of drive (SAS, SATA, or parallel SCSI) that HP SSA must use to build the array. OnlineSpare The value for this option determines whether the array specified previously in the script will be configured with spare drives. Method mode Custom Possible values Default value To specify exactly which drives to use as spares, In Configure action mode: None. use the applicable convention (port:ID, box:bay, or port:box:bay). In Reconfigure action mode, HP SSA ignores any value entered for this option and keeps any spares To specify only the number of spares (not the that are already present in the configuration. exact IDs), enter that number as the value for this option. HP SSA automatically selects only those drives that are suitable for the array. To specify that the array should not have spares, enter None. Auto Yes (indicating one spare) No In Configure action mode: Yes (indicating one spare). In Reconfigure action mode, HP SSA ignores any value entered for this option and keeps any spares that are already present in the configuration. Logical Drive category The Logical Drive category has the following options: • "ArrayAccelerator" (page 39) • "LogicalDrive" (page 39) • "LogicalDriveSSPState" (page 39) • "ParityGroups" (page 39) • "PreferredPath" (page 39) • "RAID" (page 39) • "Sectors" (page 40) • "Size" (page 40) • "SSPAdaptersWithAccess" (page 40) • "StripeSize" (page 40) 38 Scripting Toolkit utilities
