These options describe a logical drive that is to be
configured on an array that was previously specified

in the script. (If no array was previously specified,
ACU stops processing the script and creates an error
file.) Although the LogicalDrive option must begin this

section of the script, you can script the other options in
this category in any order.

HBA

ConnectionName
HBA_WW_ID
HostMode

These options specify an HBA that is to be configured.

Control category

The Control category has the following options:

Action mode (on page

40

)

Method mode (on page

40

)

Action mode

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 mode

The default value for this option is Auto. If you want to use Custom mode, you must specify it.
In Auto 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.
