Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS D In this appendix... Getting Started ....................................................................................................................... 93 Working in the ACU Using Menus........................................................................................ 93 Running the ACU Using Scripts ............................................................................................ 94 This chapter describes the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) for DOS, a text-based utility that you can use to create, configure, and manage arrays. (A BIOS-based ACU is also available. See page 84.) Note: ICP recommends that only advanced users familiar with working in DOS use the ACU for DOS utility. For more information, see Managing Your Storage Space on page 60. Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS . 93 Getting Started Note: You need a bootable floppy disk to complete this task. The ACU for DOS runs from a floppy disk which you can create using the RAID Installation CD that came in your ICP RAID controller kit. To create the ACU floppy disk: 1 Insert your RAID Installation CD into the CD drive, then browse to this file: packages/firmware/controllermodel/acu.exe Where controllermodel is the model number of your ICP RAID controller. 2 Insert a bootable floppy disk and copy the acu.exe file to it. 3 Continue in one of two ways: . Work in the ACU using menus (see the following section) . Run the ACU using scripts (see page 94) Working in the ACU Using Menus To work in the ACU using menus: 1 Insert the ACU floppy disk (see Getting Started above), then start or restart your computer. The computer boots to the DOS command line. 2 Type ACU on the command line, then press Enter. The ACU is menu-based and instructions for completing tasks appear on-screen. Menus can be navigated using the arrow, Enter, Esc, and other keys on your keyboard. For more information about completing tasks, see Using the ACU to Create and Manage Arrays on page 84. Appendix D: Using the Array Configuration Utility for DOS . 94 Running the ACU Using Scripts To work in the ACU using scripts: 1 Insert the ACU floppy disk (see page 93), then start or restart your computer. The computer boots to the DOS command line. 2 Type ACU on the command line, specify a script file, and specify either the /P or /R switches listed in the following table. (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 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 94. /R 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.
