Control category

The Control category has the following options:

“Action mode” (page 41)

“Method mode” (page 41)

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 Method mode 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.
