Category Logical Drive Options LogicalDrive RAID Size Sectors StripeSize ArrayAccelerator LogicalDriveSSPState SSPAdaptersWithAccess PreferredPath Comments These options define a logical drive that is to be configured on an array that is defined previously in the script. (If no array is previously defined, ACU sends an error message.) The LogicalDrive 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. Control category The Control category has two options: Action (on page 34) and Method (on page 34). Action You must specify an Action mode. • In Configure mode, you can create new arrays, but you cannot modify existing arrays. The controller must be connected to unassigned physical drives for this mode to be available. • In Reconfigure mode, you can modify existing arrays. For example, you can set up an array expansion, a logical drive extension, or a migration. These procedures do not destroy data, unless you specifically want the data to be deleted. In this mode, ACU does not change an existing option setting unless you specifically script a different value for that option. Method The default value for this option is Automatic. If you want to use Custom mode, you must specify it. In Automatic mode, ACU can perform an expansion, extension, or migration without user intervention if the values that you set for other options imply that such an operation is necessary. Controller category The following options are available under the Controller category: • Controller (on page 35) • ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss (on page 35) • LicenseKey ("LicenseKey, DeleteLicenseKey" on page 35) • DeleteLicenseKey ("LicenseKey, DeleteLicenseKey" on page 35) • ChassisName (on page 35) • ReadCache ("ReadCache, WriteCache" on page 35) • WriteCache ("ReadCache, WriteCache" on page 35) • RebuildPriority ("RebuildPriority, ExpandPriority" on page 36) • ExpandPriority ("RebuildPriority, ExpandPriority" on page 36) • SurfaceScanDelay (on page 36) • SSPState (on page 36) • PreferredPathMode (on page 36) Scripting in ACU 34

PreferredPath
These options define a logical drive that is to be
configured on an array that is defined previously in
the script. (If no array is previously defined, ACU
sends an error message.) The LogicalDrive 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.
Control category
The Control category has two options: Action (on page
34
) and Method (on page
34
).
Action
You must specify an Action mode.
•
In Configure mode, you can create new arrays, but you cannot modify existing arrays. The controller
must be connected to unassigned physical drives for this mode to be available.
•
In Reconfigure mode, you can modify existing arrays. For example, you can set up an array
expansion, a logical drive extension, or a migration. These procedures do not destroy data, unless
you specifically want the data to be deleted. In this mode, ACU does not change an existing option
setting unless you specifically script a different value for that option.
Method
The default value for this option is Automatic. If you want to use Custom mode, you must specify it.
In Automatic mode, ACU can perform an expansion, extension, or migration without user intervention if
the values that you set for other options imply that such an operation is necessary.
