Automatic Script File Format; Automatic Script File Options - HP BL860c Deployment Manual

These options can be specified in any order, but an option from another category of options
cannot occur between any two options from this category.

Automatic Script File Format

The automatic script is used to apply automatic configuration rules to unconfigured or configured
controllers. If the -i-with-reset or –reset command line switch is used, the existing controller
configuration is cleared with data loss before the new configuration is applied, effectively making
it an unconfigured controller. The cpqacuxe utility automatic scripting uses the same
configuration suggested that is used in the Express path of the cpqacuxe utility GUI. Therefore,
the automatic configuration rules are the same as the cpqacuxe utility GUI Express path.
The following is an automatic script file syntax:
Action = Configure|Reconfigure
Method = Auto

Value
Defines if you are changing existing arrays and logical drives or adding new ones.
This option is required.
Configure: Existing arrays are not modified. If unassigned physical drives exist,
new arrays and logical drives are automatically created.
Reconfigure: Existing arrays might be modified in a non-data-destructive manner.
If unassigned physical drives exist, existing arrays might automatically be expanded
and new arrays automatically created. New logical drives are created on the
expanded and newly created arrays.
If the -i-with-reset or -reset command line switch is used, the existing
controller configuration is cleared with data loss as the first step in the configurations
process, regardless of the setting of the Action mode.
Defines whether you are in Automatic or Custom mode.
Auto is the default value.
Identifies to which controllers to apply the configuration. This option is required.
Slot [N][:N]: The internal controller with slot number N is used. External
controllers can be identified by appending the Port Number. For example, an
Modular Smart Array (MSA) 1500 connected to a SA6402 might be found at "Slot
4:2," where 4 is the internal Slot number and 2 is the SCSI port.
WWN [N]: The external controller with World-Wide Name (WWN) N is used.
SerialNumber [N]: The shared storage controller with serial number N is used.
All: All detected internal and external controllers in the system are used.
First: The first controller found, based on the controller with the lowest PCI slot
number.
