Appendix D: Using the ACU for DOS ● 103
Running the ACU Using Scripts
To work in the ACU using scripts:
1 Insert the ACU floppy disk (see page 102), then start or restart your
computer.
The computer boots to the DOS command line.
2 Ty pe ACU on the command line, specify a script file, and specify
either the /P or /R switches listed in the table below. (Don’t specify
both.)
You may also add one or both of the optional switches.
Note: Command line syntax is not case sensitive.
Switch Description
/P <file> Playback Mode—The ACU reads the contents of the
specified script file and creates arrays and configures
channel settings based on the keywords defined in the
script. See page 104.
/R <file> Record Mode—The ACU writes a RAID controller’s
existing array configuration to a specified script file, which
lets you create the same configuration by running the ACU
in playback mode (/P switch) with the resulting script. See
page 104.
/L <file> (Optional) Log Filename Switch—If you include this
switch, the ACU records its activity and any errors it
encounters in the log file. If you do not include this switch,
the ACU displays activity and errors on the screen.
The
file is a standard MS-DOS file, which can include a
drive, directory, filename, and extension. Only the filename
and extension (
.log) are required. If no drive or directory is
specified, the file is placed in the same location as the ACU
executable.
/C
<number>
(Optional) Controller Number Switch—In systems with
more than one controller, this switch specifies which
controller to change, where
number is the controller
number. The default controller number is 0.
Note—The number assigned to a particular controller
depends on the controller’s physical PCI slot and the order
in which your system scans its PCI slots.
