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. |

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. |
