Controller

You must enter a value for this option because it identifies the controller that you want to configure:

•All—Configure all detected internal and external controllers in the system.

•Slot N[:N]—Configure the internal controller in slot number N. External controllers can be identified by appending the Port Number.

•WWN N—Configure the external controller that has the World Wide Name N.

•SerialNumber N—Configure the shared storage controller that has serial number N.

•IOCabinet[N],IOBay[N],IOChassis[N],Slot[N],Cabinet[N],Cell[N]—Configure the controller in the Integrity server that has the slot path information defined by this sequence of identifiers.

CacheState

This option enables you to flush the cache or disable flushing of the cache. Values are FlushEnable and FlushDisable.

You can use this option to prevent stale cache issues.

ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss

Clearing the configuration results in data loss because it deletes all logical volumes and arrays on the controller. If you clear a configuration, you can write commands later in the script file to create a new configuration from the liberated drive capacity.
