SSA Scripting 62options in the file as necessary for the target system. This method is useful for applying a standardconfiguration to several servers that have similar storage resources. Write an original script.Each line of text in an SSA script file is in the format option=value and can be written in uppercase orlowercase letters. For information about possible option values and the minimum configurationinformation that a valid script must have, see the sample custom input script.You can add blank lines and comments to any script to make it easier to read and understand. To create acomment, enter a semicolon, and then enter the comment text. SSA ignores all text on the same line after asemicolon.Script file requirementsThe script file used by SSA Scripting is a text file that contains options and parameters required to configurearray controllers. In order to be successfully implemented, scripts must follow the guidelines below: Ordering of the options and parameters is important. Options need to be read in the sequenceControl>Controller>Array>Logical Drive. Lines of the script file are written in the form option=value or left blank. Semicolons are used for comments within script files. If the first character in the line is a semicolon,SSA Scripting ignores everything up to the next line.Sample custom input scriptThe 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. Default options are not universal across controllers and firmware.You can use this script as a template for your own script.Action = Configure|ReconfigureMethod = CustomController = All|Slot [N][:N] | WWN [N] | First | SerialNumber [N] | IOCabinet [N],IOBay [N],IOChassis[N],Slot [N],Cabinet [N],Cell [N]ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss = Yes|No |ForcedReadCache = 0|10|20|25|30|40|50|60|70|75|80|90|100WriteCache = 0|10|20|25|30|40|50|60|70|75|80|90|100RapidParityInitalization = Enable|DisableRebuildPriority = Low|Medium|Mediumhigh|HighExpandPriority = Low|Medium|HighSurfaceScanDelay = NSurfaceScanDelayExtended = NSurfaceScanMode = Idle|High|DisabledDriveWriteCache = Enable|DisableNoBatteryWriteCache = Enable|DisableBootVolumePrimary = Logical Drive Number|NoneBootVolumeSecondary = Logical Drive Number|NonePowerMode = MinPower|Balanced|MaxPerformanceLatency = Disable|Low|High; Array Options; There can be multiple array specifications in the fileArray = A|B|C|D|E|F|G|...Z|AA|AB|AC... | NextDrive = Port:ID... | Box:Bay... | Port:Box:Bay,... | N | *OnlineSpareMode = Dedicated | AutoReplaceOnlineSpare = Port:ID,... | Box:Bay,... | Port:Box:Bay | None | NSplitMirror = SplitWithBackup|Rollback|Remirror|ActivateBackup
