Script file options
There are four categories of options in ACU script files: Control, Controller, Array, and Logical Drive.
Each category has several scripting options, but you do not always need to assign values to every option.
ACU can use default values in some cases, while in other cases, a given option might not be relevant for
a particular controller or operating mode.
The options for each category are listed in the table ("
Option categories in ACU scripting
" on page
33
),
and described in more detail in the rest of this section.

These options define the overall behavior of ACU
when it processes the scripts and creates
configurations. Control options can occur only once in
a script file and must be the first options listed.

Options in this category define the controller that is to
be configured (or the controller that has had its
configuration captured). The Controller option must be
at the beginning of this section of the script, but you
can script other options in this category in any order.
You can use one script to configure several controllers
if all controllers are to be configured identically or if
you define each controller configuration separately.
When you define each controller separately, specify
all category options for a particular controller before
starting a new controller listing.
Array

These options define an array that is to be configured
on the controller that is identified previously in the
script. (If no controller is previously identified, ACU
sends an error message.) The Array option must be at
the beginning of this section of the script, but you can
script the other options in this category in any order.
