DriveType
This option specifies the interface type for drives that SSA Scripting must use to build the array.
Choose one of the valid drive types:
[SCSI | SAS | SATA | SATASSD | SASSSD]
The value is often used with the wildcard (*) or number argument for Drive.
OnlineSpareMode
The value for this option specifies the behavior of the spare drives when they are activated.
For controllers that support Auto Replace Drive, setting this value to AutoReplace enables a rebuilt spare
drive to become a data drive in the array. When the failed data drive is replaced, it assumes the role of the
former spare, eliminating the need for a second array rebuild.
Behavior Description
Default value for spares
Dedicated
The spare drive becomes a data drive
AutoReplace
when the rebuild is complete.
AutoReplace spares cannot be shared
across arrays.
OnlineSpare
The value for this option determines whether the array specified previously in the script will be configured
with spare drives.
The interface type for drives and spare drives must match, for example, all SAS or all SATA.

X:Y,...: Port:Id for controllers that use Port/Id drive numbering schemes. For controllers using Box/Bay
numbering schemes, use Box:Bay.

X:Y:Z,...: Port:Box:Bay for SAS controllers

None: No spares will be added to the array and any existing spares on the array will be removed.
o
Configure mode: if the OnlineSpare option is not specified, the default value is None.
o
Reconfigure mode: If the OnlineSpare option is not specified, the spare state of the array will remain
unchanged.

N: N number of spares will be added to the array. SSA Scripting will choose the best available, unused
physical drives for the spares.
SmartPath
This option is not supported.
SplitMirror
This option splits the original mirrored volumes into individual RAID0 volumes, optionally hiding the new
volume from the OS. SplitMirror also recombines volumes. The command will only execute if scripting is
started with the -offline command line option and the join target volumes are not in use by the OS.
SplitMirror operates on the following volumes:

RAID1

RAID10

RAID1 ADM

RAID10 ADM
