HP StorageWorks 1500cs Modular Smart Array - Manual (Page 40)

Scripting in ACU 40
HostMode
This option specifies the HostMode for a selected HBA. Setting the Host Mode optimizes the storage array
for the selected operating system. The available host modes for an HBA are device-specific. Not all modes
are available on all devices. Not all HBAs support a HostMode.
The following operating system options might be available:
• Default
• Microsoft® Windows®
• OpenVMS
• Tru64
• Linux
• Solaris
• Netware
• HP-UX
Error reporting
Any errors that are encountered during ACU scripting are logged to ERROR.INI. This error file describes
the error and if possible indicates the controller, array, and logical drive that are associated with the
error.
The error reporting in ACU scripting is not as specific as the error reporting in the ACU GUI. Instead, it is
designed to give an advanced user enough information to understand what went wrong so that they can
correct the problem and continue. Some of the possible error messages are listed in the table ("
ACU
scripting error messages " on page 40 ).

drives to an existing array that has RAID 1 logical drives, and the
controller does not support RAID-level migration.
