HP Array Configuration Utility 73
Example commands:
set exitonerror=enable
set eoe=disable
show exitonerror
Using ACU scripting
Access ACU with one of the many methods available:
•
Accessing ACU in the offline environment (on page
22
)
•
Accessing ACU in the online environment (on page
27
)
The ACU Scripting application has two scripting modes:
•
Capture mode for capturing a configuration (on page
73
)
ACU inspects the configuration of all internal and external array controllers connected to the server and
then writes a script file describing this configuration.
•
Input mode for using an Input script (on page
73
)
ACU reads the array configuration described in a specified script file. See "Creating an ACU script file
(on page
74
)." ACU then applies this configuration to a target system.
Capturing a configuration
To capture the configuration of a system, enter the following command at the system command line prompt:
hpacuscripting -c [drive:][path]
OUTPUTFILENAME.ext
[-internal | -external]
-e [drive:][path]
ERRORFILENAME.ext
OUTPUTFILENAME
is the name of the capture file, and
ext
. is the file extension. If you do not specify a name
and location for this file, ACU uses the default name ACUOUTPUT.ini, and places the file in the ACU working
directory.
The
-internal
and
-external
switches limit capture to internal or external controllers.
The
-e
switch information is used only if ACU must generate an error file. By default, ACU names the error
file ERROR.ini and places it in the ACU working directory.
Using an Input script
To use an Input script to configure or reconfigure a system, first locate a suitable ACU script or see "Creating
an ACU script file (on page
74
)."
Then, enter the following command at the system command line prompt:
hpacuscripting -i [drive:][path]
FILENAME.ext
[-internal | -external] [-reset]
-e [drive:][path]
ERRORFILENAME.ext
FILENAME
is the name of the ACU input file, and
ext
is the file extension. If you do not specify the name and
location of this file, ACU searches for ACUINPUT.ini in the ACU working directory.
The
-internal
and
-external
switches limit configuration operations to internal or external controllers.
The
-reset
flag destroys any existing data and overwrites the current configuration with the configuration
specified in the script.
