DriveType=SAS
Logic alDrive=1
RAID=0
Summary
This script does not specify a size, but uses the MAX default value to consume the fully available capacity of
the physical drives.
SSA Scripting does not support arrays with mixed drive types. An array must comprise drives of the same
type, for example all SAS or all SATA drives. Different arrays can have different drive types.
Configure two arrays, one with a spare
Task
Create two arrays with one online spare on a RAID Controller. One array uses two physical drives in a RAID 1
logical volume. The second array uses the remaining physical disks to create 20 identically sized RAID 5
logical volumes.
Hardware configuration

Storage system

An unconfigured RAID Controller in slot 1
If the controller contains an existing configuration, the script fails unless you add the -reset parameter
to the command line to clear the existing configuration.

Numerous available physical drives at unspecified locations

Summary
For both arrays, this script uses the MAX value to consume the fully available capacity of the physical drives.
For Array B, the Repeat option specifies the number of times to repeat the configuration. Instead of using the
number 2, the script uses the NEXT value to specify the ID of the second logical drive. When using the Repeat
option, you must also use the NEXT value for the LogicalDrive option. This script will fail if the controller does
