Example: Invoking The Acu And Using A Script - Adaptec RAID 2120S Software Reference Manual

In this case, the ACU creates the HotspareDrives list using all
the drives assigned to the lower-level mirror set arrays within
the RAID 10 (or RAID 50). When playing back this script, the
ACU assigns all the drives in the HotspareDrives list to all the
mirror set arrays making up the RAID 10 (or RAID 50). However,
this might not exactly match the original spare drive assignments
to the mirror set arrays.
■
When recording an array, the ACU creates a separate channel
definition block for each channel on the controller. Each block
includes all the property keywords and values reflecting the
channel's current settings. Edit the script file as necessary to
change any of the channel's settings or delete keywords to
ensure the controller's corresponding channel setting is not
changed.

Example: Invoking the ACU and Using a Script

The following MS-DOS command invokes the ACU and creates
arrays on controller 1 based on the array properties defined in the
script file A:\RAID.ACU. It also configures the properties of channel
0 and saves a log of the operation in the log file C:\RAID.LOG.
A:\> ACU /P A:\RAID.ACU /L C:\RAID.LOG /C1
The following sample script file is the RAID.ACU script used in the
previous ACU command. This script creates three arrays—a
500 MB, single-disk volume; a 2 GB, two-drive RAID 1; and a
"maximum size", three-drive RAID 5—and sets the properties of
channel 0.
# Script to create volume, mirror, and RAID-5 arrays
# Create a 500MB volume labeled 'MySystem'
Array=MySystem
Type=Volume
Size=500MB
Drives=0:0:0
End
# Create a 2GB mirror labeled 'MyMirror'
Array=MyMirror
Type=RAID1
Size=2GB
