ACU for DOS HotspareDrives Keyword HotspareDrives is an optional keyword, specifying the hotspares to assign to the array. The syntax for listing hotspares is the same as the Drives Keyword on page B-7. If HotspareDrives is not specified, no hotspares are assigned to the array. Notes: ■ HotspareDrives creates only dedicated hotspares. If the same drive is assigned to protect multiple arrays, only the last array that drive is assigned to is protected. ■ HotspareDrives does not verify that the available space on the specified hotspares is sufficient to serve as failover for the array. ■ When assigning hotspares to a multilevel array, HotspareDrives assigns all the hotspares in the list to all arrays within the multilevel array. Example HotspareDrives=0:0:0,0:1:0 InitializeAll Keyword If you want the ACU to initialize all drives connected to the controller and delete any existing arrays before any new arrays are created, even those that are not specified in any Drives keyword definition, specify InitializeAll=yes. Otherwise, the ACU initializes only those drives specified by the Drives keyword. ! Caution: Initializing a drive automatically deletes any existing arrays with that drive as their member. B-8
