ACU for DOS

Notes:

Record Mode can be used to record only one controller at a
time. Therefore, if you want to record multiple controllers,
record them separately using separate script files.

Because the ACU supports only a subset of array types
available, it cannot record all the possible array
configurations. If the ACU encounters an array that it
cannot create, it displays a warning (or records the
warning in the log file, if the /L switch is used) and does
not record any keywords for that array in its script file.

When recording an array, the ACU always uses the default
Wait

setting (equivalent to Wait=Yes) unless you edit the

script file and include Wait=No in the array’s definition
block. For details, see the

Wait Keyword on page B-11

Creating the Script File Manually

Script files contain the following structures, or blocks:

Array Definition Block Keywords

Channel Definition Block Keywords – SCSI only

(optional)

The rules for syntax are as follows:

Each keyword must start its own line.

The syntax is not case sensitive.

Comments

To enter a comment in the script file, start with a pound character (#).
You can start anywhere on a line. For a sample script that includes
comments, see

Example – Running the ACU with a Script on page B-14
