The row after the function tag indicates the required setting items (CHA and PCB Mode in the

example) for the function. The setting items are separated by commas.
• Example:

[CHA]
#CHA,PCB Mode

The existing settings for the function are written. The existing settings row, which starts with “#$”,

is recognized as a comment row.

CAUTION:

The settings in the rows that start with “#$” are not allowed to change.

• Example:

[LUN]
#Port,HostGroup,LUN,CU,LDEV (items to be changed)
#$1C,0,1,1,1 (existing settings row)

An example of the declaration and the function tag is as follows:
#!Version 04_00_00,LUN,Change
[CHA]
[Port]
[HostGroup]
[WWN]
[LUN]
[LDEV]

Configuration Definitions

There are three types of configuration definitions:

Adding new settings. You can add new settings if the current settings area of the spreadsheet

is blank (see

Figure 107

).

Deleting current settings. You can delete existing current settings by making the new settings

area blank.

Changing current settings. You can change existing current settings by writing a different setting

in the new settings area. The format of the existing setting and the new settings must be the same.

The configuration definition consists of the index and the parameter (see

Figure 106

). The index is fixed

for each function tag, so it must be the same for both the current settings and the new settings. By

modifying the settings in the parameter, you can add, delete, or change the settings.
You can write the configuration definition either between a function tag and another function tag, or

between a function tag and the end of the file. A configuration definition allows you to set the parameters

(adding, deleting, or changing) for the array. A row of configuration definitions can be divided into the

current settings area, a blank column, and the new settings area.
Configuration definition settings must comply with the following:

The current settings area and the new settings area must be in exactly the same format, with four

blank columns in between.

The maximum number of columns for the settings depends on the product, and is stated in the

declaration row.

The number of available columns for each function tag depends on the number of parameters that

can be set for each function and on the version of the spreadsheet.
