Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 100

Type Keyword

Type is a required keyword, indicating the array type. There is no default value. The possible

values: Volume, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10, or RAID50.

Depending on the RAID levels supported by your RAID controller, additional possible values

are: RAID1E, RAID5EE, RAID6, RAID60.

Wait Keyword

Wait is an optional keyword that you can use to tell the ACU to allow the ACU to continue

while the Build/Verify or Clear completes in the background; specify Wait=No. Otherwise, the

ACU waits by default.

If the host is powered off before the Build/Verify or Clear process completes and is then

restarted, the process resumes without any user intervention.

For example:

Wait=Yes

Wait=No

WriteCache Keyword

The WriteCache keyword indicates whether write caching is used for this array if write caching

is supported for the system. Possible values are as follows:

● Ye s (default)—Enable the write cache.

● No—Disable the write cache.

Setting an array’s WriteCache keyword to Yes might result in data loss or corruption during a

power failure.

For example:

WriteCache=Yes

Channel Definition Block Keywords—SCSI only

The channel definition block is optional. If used, it always begins with the keyword Channel and

ends with the keyword End. The channel definition block keywords are listed in this table.

Channel Keyword

Channel is an optional keyword that begins a channel definition block and specifies the

channel number to which the channel keywords apply. Channels are numbered from zero to

the maximum number of channels on the controller minus one.

You can include multiple channel definition blocks within a script file, each beginning with a

channel keyword and value.

For example:

Channel=0

Keyword Description

Channel Used to identify the channel.

ControllerID Changes the SCSI ID of the controller.

End Indicates the end of a channel definition block.
