In Reconfigure action mode, ACU ignores any
value entered for this option and keeps any spares
that are already present in the configuration.To specify only the number of spares (not the
exact IDs), enter that number as the value for this
option. ACU automatically selects only those
drives that are suitable for the array.
To specify that the array should not have spares,

Logical Drive category
The Logical Drive category has the following options:
• “ArrayAccelerator” (page 38)
• “LogicalDrive” (page 38)
• “LogicalDriveSSPState” (page 38)
• “ParityGroups” (page 39)
• “PreferredPath” (page 39)
• “RAID” (page 39)
• “Sectors” (page 39)
• “Size” (page 39)
• “SSPAdaptersWithAccess” (page 40)
• “StripeSize” (page 40)
ArrayAccelerator
This option specifies whether the array accelerator is enabled or disabled for the specified logical
drive. The default value is Enabled.
LogicalDrive
The value that you enter for this option specifies the ID number of the logical drive that is to be
created or modified. The first logical drive on an array must have an ID of 1 (not 0), and logical
drive numbering must be contiguous.
• In Configure action mode, ACU accepts only the ID number of the next possible logical drive.
• In Reconfigure action mode, ACU also accepts the ID number of any existing logical drive.
LogicalDriveSSPState
This option is valid only for controllers that enable SSP on a logical drive basis. Other controllers
that support SSP use the SSPState option (page 36).
