Array Keyword
Array
is a required keyword, indicating the start of an array definition
block. The syntax is
Array= <label>
, where
label
is an optional
alphanumeric string.
For example:
Array=MyData
Drives Keyword
Drives
is a required keyword, specifying the devices to use in creating the
array. There is no default value.
A disk drive is identified by its channel number, ID (target), and LUN,
separated by colons; for example,
0:0:0
or
0:1:0
. Separate multiple disk
drive identifiers with commas.
Prior to creating any new arrays, the ACU initializes any drives specified
by the
Drives
keyword. If a disk drive is specified in more than one array
definition block in a script, it is initialized only once.
Caution:
Any disk drive specified within the script file is initialized,
which destroys any data on that disk drive.
For example:
Drives=0:0:0
Drives=0:0:0,0:1:0,0:2:0
