arcconf playconfig

Configures a controller using a XML server template file produced by the SAVECONFIG
command (see
multiple servers in your storage space.
Note:
The XML server template file (default, saveconfig.xml) is editable. For example, you may
1
need to change the disk drive capacity, logical drive size, or RAID level.
Drives from the same vendor with slightly different capacities (147GB vs 150GB, for
2
instance) are considered interchangeable. If the interchange results in a change in logical
drive capacity, the drive is scaled, as needed. For example, if the new drives have 4% more
capacity due to vendor or model changes, then all logical drives are increased in size by 4%.
Be sure to check the log file to verify that the controller was configured successfully. The
3
exit codes, shown below, indicate the success or failure of the operation and if the system
needs to be rebooted.

ARCCONF PLAYCONFIG <Input XML File> [LogFile] [FORCE ALL|LOGICALSIZE]
Parameters
Input XML File is the pathname of the server template file. The default server template file is
available at C:\PMCS\Logs\saveconfig.xml.
LogFile is the pathname of the error log file. By default, the error log is available at
C:\PMCS\Logs\playconfig.log.
FORCE forces deployment of the server even if the controller does not support all features, or
the drive capacity does not match the configuration in the input XML file. Use FORCE ALL to
force deployment of all features; use FORCE LOGICALSIZE to force deployment of just the
logical drives.
