options in the file as necessary for the target system. This method is useful for applying a standard
configuration to several servers that have similar storage resources.

Write an original script.
Each line of text in an SSA script file is in the format option=value and can be written in uppercase or
lowercase letters. For information about possible option values and the minimum configuration
information that a valid script must have, see the
You can add blank lines and comments to any script to make it easier to read and understand. To create a
comment, enter a semicolon, and then enter the comment text. SSA ignores all text on the same line after a
semicolon.
Script file requirements
The script file used by SSA Scripting is a text file that contains options and parameters required to configure
array controllers. In order to be successfully implemented, scripts must follow the guidelines below:

Ordering of the options and parameters is important. Options need to be read in the sequence
Control>Controller>Array>Logical Drive.

Lines of the script file are written in the form option=value or left blank.

Semicolons are used for comments within script files. If the first character in the line is a semicolon,
SSA Scripting ignores everything up to the next line.
Sample custom input script
The sample script in this section gives all possible values for each option.

If an option is shown in bold type, you must enter a value for that option when writing your own script.

Default options are not universal across controllers and firmware.
You can use this script as a template for your own script.
