Script file options

Options in HP SSA script files are divided into the following categories:•Control category (on page 87)•Controller category (on page 87)•Array category (on page 92)•Logical Drive category (on page 94)

Each category has several scripting options, but you do not always need to assign values to every option. HP SSA can use default values in some instances, while in other instances, a listed option might not be relevant for a particular configuration or scripting mode.

The options for each category are listed in the following table and described in more detail in the remainder of this section.

Category	Options	Description
Control	Action	These options define the overall behavior of HP SSA
	Method	when it processes scripts and creates configurations.
		Control options can occur only once in a script file and
		must be listed first.
Controller	Controller	Options in this category specify the controller that is to be
	CacheState	configured (or the controller that had its configuration
	ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss	captured). Although the Controller option must begin this
	DeleteLicenseKey	section of the script, you can script other options in this
	DPOEnable	category in any order.
	DriveWriteCache	You can use one script file to configure all controllers in a
	ElevatorSortEnable	system, and you can configure the controllers identically
	ExpandPriority	or individually. If you define each controller configuration
	IRPEnable	individually, enter the option values for one controller
	LicenseKey	and its arrays and logical drives before specifying the
	MNPDelay	option values for another controller.
	NoBatteryWriteCache
	PreferredPathMode
	QueueDepth
	RaidArrayId
	ReadCache
	RebuildPriority
	SurfaceScanDelay
	SurfaceScanDelayExtended
	SurfaceScanMode
	WriteCache
Array	Array	These options describe an array that is to be configured
	Drive	on the controller that was previously specified in the
	DriveType	script. (If no controller was previously specified, HP SSA
	Join	stops processing the script and creates an error file.)
	OnlineSpare	Although the Array option must begin this section of the
	Split	script, you can script the other options in this category in
		any order.
