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
