Logical drive not specified

Some commands require a logical drive, but no logical drive is

 

specified in the script file.

 

 

More than one (text) command

The specified command should be used only once per section.

cannot exist in the same section

 

 

 

New array ID already exists

This error occurs in Configure mode when the array ID in the script

 

file already exists in the configuration. You can only use Configure

 

mode to create new arrays.

 

 

New array ID does not match the

The array ID that you specified in the script file does not match the

next available array ID

ID of the newly created array. For example, the script generates this

 

error if you have only an array A and the script file specifies

 

creation of array C (missing array B).

 

 

New logical drive ID already

This error occurs in Configure mode when the logical drive ID in the

exists

script file already exists in the configuration. You can only use

 

Configure mode to create new logical drives.

 

 

New logical drive ID does not

The logical drive ID that you specified in the script file does not

match the next available logical

match the ID of the newly created logical drive. For example, the

drive ID

script generates this error if you have only logical drive 1 and the

 

script file specifies creation of logical drive 3 (missing logical drive

 

2). This error can occur when using an input file with logical drive

 

numbers that are not sequential. In this case, change the logical

 

drive numbers so that they are sequential in the input file.

No controllers detected

This error applies to input mode only. If no controllers are detected

 

in capture mode, the capture file is empty.

 

 

Slot information is not available

You cannot run Input mode on internal controllers that do not have

 

slot information online. For Microsoft® Windows®, this means that

 

you must load the System Management Driver.

Too many coinciding expansion,

ACU does not support multiple simultaneous expansions, migrations,

migration, or extension operations

or extensions without saving the configuration between operations.

 

Limit the number of such configuration changes in this script.
