•
Slot [N][:M]—Configure the internal controller in slot number N, or the external controller at
port M in slot N.
•
WWN [N]—Configure the external controller that has the World Wide Name N.
•
SerialNumber [N]—Configure the shared storage controller that has serial number N.
•
IOCabinet[N],IOBay[N],IOChassis[N],Slot[N],Cabinet[N],Cell[N]—Configure
the controller in the Integrity server that has the slot path information defined by this sequence of
identifiers.
ChassisName
Enter the user-defined character string that identifies the controller. Any of the following characters can be
used in the string:
a–z, A–Z, 0–9, !, @, #, *, (, ), ,, -, _, +, :, ., /, [space]
You do not need to use quotation marks around the string, but doing so allows the string to begin with a
space character. However, the string cannot end with a space character.
Currently, only shared-storage controllers such as the RA4x00, MSA1000, and Smart Array Cluster
Storage support the ChassisName option. The RA4x00 controller uses a 24-character string, while other
applicable controllers use a 20-character string.
ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss
This command is now deprecated.
The default value for this option is No. Clearing the configuration causes data loss because it deletes all
logical volumes and arrays on the controller. If you clear a configuration, you can write commands later
in the script file to create a new configuration from the liberated drive capacity.
LicenseKey, DeleteLicenseKey
These options enable you to enter a 25-character license key to activate or uninstall some controller
features. Hyphens can be entered, but are not required.
PreferredPathMode
The setting that you select for this option determines how the preferred I/O path to a particular logical
drive is set for a redundant array controller that is in an active/active configuration.
Not all controllers support this feature, and controllers in an active/standby configuration disregard this
option.
•
Auto is the default setting for new configurations. In this case, the storage system automatically
selects the I/O path from the redundant controller to the logical drive and dynamically load
balances all paths.
•
Manual enables you to assign the logical drive to a specific redundant controller. If you select this
setting, use the PreferredPath (on page
) command to specify the path.
If you are reconfiguring a controller and do not specify a setting for this option, the existing setting
remains unchanged.
