# Script Name:    RAID Controllers and SAS-connected Expansion Chassis: Direct Attached
#
#
# Script Details:     builds 4 RAID 5 LUNs from 16 drives (head unit only)
#                     for direct attached usage
# Script Assumptions: no arrays or logical drives created
#                     (uncomment out array deletion if needed)
#                     script works with either SATA or SAS configurations
#
#
# Global controller settings
# LUN Affinity:             enabled [required]
# Adaptive Writeback Cache: enabled [optional]
# Host Cache Flushing:      disabled [optional]
# Forced Read Ahead:	    enabled [optional]

# Delete any existing arrays
# Delete array 0 thru 3
# Note: uncomment out delete array commands to delete any existing LUNs;
#       all physical drives must be available for script to run successfully
