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.
Creating an ACU script file
To create a valid ACU script file, use one of the following methods:
• Modify the sample custom input script (on page 37 ).
• Create a Capture file for capturing a configuration (on page 36 ).
You can create a capture file from any server that has ACU loaded, and then modify the values of
options in the file as necessary for the target system. This method is useful for applying a standard
configuration to several servers that have similar storage resources.
• Write an original script.
Each line of text in an ACU script file is in the format option=value and can be written in uppercase
or lowercase letters. For information about possible option values and the minimum configuration
information that a valid script must have, see the sample custom input script (on page 37 ).
You can add blank lines and comments to any script to make it easier to read and understand. To create
a comment, enter a semicolon, and then enter the comment text. ACU ignores all text on the same line
after a semicolon.
Sample custom input script
The sample script in this section gives all possible values for each option.
• If an option is shown in bold type, you must enter a value for that option when writing your own
script.
• If a value is shown in bold type, ACU uses that value as a default setting when creating new logical
drives.
You can use this script as a template for your own script. The Control category has the following options:
• Action mode
• Method mode
Action = Configure|Reconfigure
Method = Custom|Auto ; COMMENT: ACU cannot create a RAID 50 or RAID 60
configuration in Auto mode. You must create such configurations manually
using the Custom setting.
