Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS ● 96

About Record Mode

Note: You can also create a script file manually (see the following section).

In Record Mode, the ACU writes a RAID controller’s existing array configuration to a specified

script file, which lets you create the same configuration by running the ACU in Playback Mode

(/P switch) with the resulting script.

You can only record one RAID controller at a time with Record Mode. Record multiple RAID

controllers separately using separate script files.

The syntax is

ACU /R <file>

where

file

is the name of the script file. The file parameter can

include a drive, directory, filename, and extension, but only the filename and extension are

required. If no drive or directory is specified, the file is placed in the same location as the ACU

executable.

The ACU supports only a subset of available array types. If it encounters an array it can’t

create, a warning displays (or is recorded in the log file, if the /L switch is used); no keywords

for that array are recorded in its script file.

When recording an array, the ACU always uses the default Wait setting (equivalent to

Wait=Yes) unless you edit the script file and include Wait=No in the array’s definition block.

For more information, see Wait Keyword on page 100.

Creating the Script File Manually

Script files contain blocks:

● Array definition block keywords (see page 97)

● Optional—ACU error codes (see page 101)

The syntax rules are:

● Each keyword must start its own line.

● Syntax is not case sensitive.

Entering Comments in the Script File

To enter a comment in the script file, start with a pound character (

). You can start anywhere

on a line. For a sample script that includes comments, see Sample Scripts on page 102.
