Sample custom capture script
Running SSA Scripting in capture mode captures the configuration of all array controllers on the server in a
capture file. The capture file can be used in input mode with minor edits to replicate the configuration to other
array controllers.
Use of the "–internal" or "–external" command line switches effectively filters the controllers captured. For
example, if the "–external" switch is used, then any controllers internal to the host computer are not captured
in the output file.
