HP Workstation xw6000 Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S: Software Reference Guide - Page 335

Using the Array Configuration Utility Because the ACU reads the entire script file before creating any arrays, the position of the InitializeAll=Yes property within the script is not significant. Continuing the previous example, if InitializeAll=Yes is specified in the second RAID 5's definition, the ACU initializes all drives before creating the first RAID 0. Note: If a build/verify is in progress when an array is deleted, it will automatically be terminated. See The InitializeAll Keyword on page 13-20 for details on the syntax of the InitializeAll property. Record Mode Record mode writes an existing controller's array configuration to a specified script file, enabling you to create the same configuration by running the ACU in playback mode with the resulting script. In addition, record mode lists certain controller properties that can be set in playback mode. Because the ACU supports only a subset of array types available through the CLI and the GUI, it cannot record all the possible array configurations. If the ACU encounters an array that it cannot create it displays a warning (and records the warning in its log file, if that switch is used) and does not record any properties for that array in its script file. The script file is limited to one controller and its associated array configuration files. Although you can have multiple controllers on a single system, you cannot record all of the controllers and their associated array configurations in one file. To record multiple controllers, use the ACU record mode once for each individual controller. Your end result will be multiple files on the same diskette with one file corresponding to each controller. Determining Build/Verify/Clear Status When using playback mode to create an array, you can specify whether to wait for an array's initial build/verify or clear to complete or to continue while the build/verify or clear proceeds in the background. If you instruct the ACU to continue (Wait=No), 13-13
