SSA Scripting 66 Action mode Method modeAction modeYou must specify an Action mode: In Configure mode, you can create new arrays, but you cannot modify existing arrays. The controllermust be connected to unassigned physical drives for this mode to be available. In Reconfigure mode, you can modify existing arrays. For example, you can set up an array expansion, alogical drive extension, or a migration. These procedures do not destroy data, unless you specificallywant the data to be deleted. In this mode, SSA does not change an existing option setting unless youspecifically script a different value for that option.If you use the -reset command line switch, the existing controller configuration is cleared with data loss asthe first step in the configuration process. This command line switch is not compatible with Reconfiguremode.Method modeThe default value for this option is Custom.In Auto mode, SSA can perform an expansion, extension, or migration without user intervention if the valuesthat you set for other options imply that such an operation is necessary.Controller categoryThe Controller category has the following options: Controller CacheState ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss DeleteLicenseKey DPOEnable DriveWriteCache ElevatorSortEnable FLS HBAmode IRPEnable LicenseKey MNPDelay NoBatteryWriteCache Power modes QueueDepth RapidParityInitialization ReadCache RebuildPriority SurfaceScanDelay
