Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide

HP Array Configuration Utility 68
Enabling a script to exit on error
When a script encounters an error during execution, the exitonerror keyword enables the script to
decide whether to continue or to exit the application and return an exit code.
Syntax:
set [exitonerror=enable | disable]
Example commands:
set exitonerror=enable
set eoe=disable
show exitonerror
Using ACU scripting
Access ACU with one of the many methods available:
• Accessing ACU in the offline environment (on page 10)
• Accessing ACU in the online environment (on page 15)
The ACU Scripting application has two scripting modes:
• Capture mode for capturing a configuration (on page 68)
ACU inspects the configuration of all internal and external array controllers connected to the server and
then writes a script file describing this configuration.
• Input mode for using an Input script (on page 68)
ACU reads the array configuration described in a specified script file. See "Creating an ACU script file
(on page 69)." ACU then applies this configuration to a target system.
Capturing a configuration
To capture the configuration of a system, enter the following command at the system command line prompt:
hpacuscripting -c [drive:][path]OUTPUTFILENAME.ext [-internal | -external]
-e [drive:][path]ERRORFILENAME.ext
OUTPUTFILENAME is the name of the capture file, and ext. is the file extension. If you do not specify a name
and location for this file, ACU uses the default name ACUOUTPUT.ini, and places the file in the ACU working
directory.
The -internal and -external switches limit capture to internal or external controllers.
The -e switch information is used only if ACU must generate an error file. By default, ACU names the error
file ERROR.ini and places it in the ACU working directory.
Using an Input script
To use an Input script to configure or reconfigure a system, first locate a suitable ACU script or see "Creating
an ACU script file (on page 69)."
Then, enter the following command at the system command line prompt:
hpacuscripting -i [drive:][path]FILENAME.ext [-internal | -external] [-reset]
-e [drive:][path]ERRORFILENAME.ext
