ACU for DOS
Notes:
■ Record Mode can be used to record only one controller at a
time. Therefore, if you want to record multiple controllers,
record them separately using separate script files.
■ Because the ACU supports only a subset of array types
available, it cannot record all the possible array
configurations. If the ACU encounters an array that it
cannot create, it displays a warning (or records the
warning in the log file, if the /L switch is used) and does
not record any keywords for that array 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 details, see the Wait Keyword on page B-11
Creating the Script File Manually
Script files contain the following structures, or blocks:
■ Array Definition Block Keywords
■ Channel Definition Block Keywords – SCSI only (optional)
The rules for syntax are as follows:
■ Each keyword must start its own line.
■ The syntax is not case sensitive.
Comments
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
Example – Running the ACU with a Script
on page B-14.
