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

) and Method (on page

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:
