Scripting in ACU 32
If you do not specify a capture file name, ACU gives the file the default name of ACUCAPT.INI and
places it in the ACU working directory.
In Input mode:
cpqacuxe -i FILENAME
If you do not specify an input file name, ACU gives the file the default name ACUINPUT.INI and places it
in the ACU working directory.
If any errors occur during either process, these errors are noted in the file ERROR.INI that is logged to the
default working directory.
Sample custom input script
The following script gives all possible values for each option.
• If an option is shown in bold type, you must enter a value for that option.
• If a value is shown in bold type, ACU uses that value as a default setting when creating new logical
drives.
• An asterisk next to a line denotes that the line is not used in Automatic mode.
You can use this script as a template for your own script.
