Example commands:

set eoe=disable
show exitonerror

Using ACU scripting

Access ACU with one of the many methods available:
•
Accessing ACU in the offline environment (on page 22)
•
Accessing ACU in the online environment (on page 27)
The ACU Scripting application has two scripting modes:
•
Capture mode for capturing a configuration (on page 73)
ACU inspects the configuration of all internal and external array controllers connected to the server and
then writes a script file describing this configuration.
•
Input mode for using an Input script (on page 73)
ACU reads the array configuration described in a specified script file. See "Creating an ACU script file
(on page 74)." ACU then applies this configuration to a target system.

Capturing a configuration

To capture the configuration of a system, enter the following command at the system command line prompt:
hpacuscripting -c [drive:][path]OUTPUTFILENAME.ext [-internal | -external]
-e [drive:][path]ERRORFILENAME.ext
OUTPUTFILENAME is the name of the capture file, and ext. is the file extension. If you do not specify a name
and location for this file, ACU uses the default name ACUOUTPUT.ini, and places the file in the ACU working
directory.
The -internal and -external switches limit capture to internal or external controllers.
The -e switch information is used only if ACU must generate an error file. By default, ACU names the error
file ERROR.ini and places it in the ACU working directory.

Using an Input script

To use an Input script to configure or reconfigure a system, first locate a suitable ACU script or see "Creating
an ACU script file (on page 74)."
Then, enter the following command at the system command line prompt:
hpacuscripting -i [drive:][path]FILENAME.ext [-internal | -external] [-reset]
-e [drive:][path]ERRORFILENAME.ext
FILENAME is the name of the ACU input file, and ext is the file extension. If you do not specify the name and
location of this file, ACU searches for ACUINPUT.ini in the ACU working directory.
The -internal and -external switches limit configuration operations to internal or external controllers.
The -reset flag destroys any existing data and overwrites the current configuration with the configuration
specified in the script.
