; PRAID Policies File Syntax Specification
; Copyright (c) IBM Corporation, 2005-2009

; This file is meant to show the syntax of a PRAID policies file.
; The following rules apply to this syntax:
;  -- { } indicates that one of the values separated by '|' should be chosen.
;  --  +  indicates that you may list one or more values separated by a comma.
;  -- ( ) indicates an optional value.
;
; See the User Guide for more information on this syntax.
; The following files provide some working examples of policies files:
; -- template.ini - A complex policies file example.
; -- RAID1-5.ini  - Configures RAID controllers using RAID-1 on first two drives and RAID-5 with remaining drives.
; -- RAID5HSP.ini - Configures RAID controllers using RAID-5 with a hot-spare drive.
