Table 5-5 Custom script file options (continued)
ValueOption
Specifies the preferred path mode when redundant array controllers are
in an active-active configuration. This option is only available for certain
redundant array controllers. If the option is not specified, it remains
unchanged. This option is ignored in active-standby configurations. This
option is optional.
• Auto: This is the default value. The array controller automatically
determines which logical drives are assigned to each active array
controller for I/O. The array controller dynamically load balances the
logical drive paths.
• Manual: Manually specify which logical drives are assigned to each
active array controller for I/O. The array controller does not change the
paths. The paths are specified using the PreferredPath command
in the LogicalDrive section.
PreferredPathMode
Specifies the Array ID.
[A-Z, a-f]: In Configure mode, a new array is created. The array letter
specified must be the next available array letter in the existing
configuration. In Reconfigure mode, the array letter can identify an existing
array, or it can identify the next available array letter in the existing
configuration to create a new array.
Array
Specifies the physical drives for the array. A comma separated list specifies
the location of physical drives that are to be used in the array. In Configure
mode, the physical drives listed are used to create the new array. In
Reconfigure mode, all physical drives that are in the array must be listed.
Any additional physical drives that are listed are added to the array for
an array expansion.
• [X]:[Y], …: The Port:ID for controllers that use Port/ID drive
numbering schemes or the Box:Bay for controllers that use Box/Bay
numbering schemes.
• [X]:[Y]:[Z],…: The Port:Box:Bay for SAS controllers.
• N: The number of spares that will be added to the array. The cpqacuxe
utility select the best available unused physical drives for the spares.
• *: All available physical drives will be added to the array. Specifying
this option consumes all drives and makes adding spare drives
impossible.
Drive
Restricts the array and operations on the array to the specified type of
physical drive.
• SCSI: Use only SCSI drives.
• SAS: Use only SAS drives.
• SATA: Use only SATA drives.
DriveType
Specifies the spare drives for the array. A comma separated list specifies
the location of spare drives that are to be used in the array.
• [X]:[Y], …: The Port:ID for controllers that use Port/ID drive
numbering schemes or the Box:Bay for controllers that use Box/Bay
numbering schemes.
• [X]:[Y]:[Z],…: The Port:Box:Bay for SAS controllers.
• None: No spares will be added to the array and any existing spares on
the array will be removed. In Configure mode if this option is not
specified, None is the default value. In Reconfigure mode if this option
is not specified, the spare state of the array remains unchanged.
• N: The number of spares that will be added to the array. The cpqacuxe
utility selects the best available unused physical drives for the spares.
