Configuring a data storage device with a parameter file interlocked with configuration code

摘要

A method is disclosed for configuring a data storage device. Configuration data records of a parameter file are compared to configuration execution records of an executable file, wherein the configuration execution records for configuring at least one configuration file of a data storage device. If the configuration data records interlock with the configuration execution records, the configuration file is modified and the modified configuration file is stored to the data storage device. The method may be performed by a computer external to the data storage device, or by control circuitry internal to the data storage device, or a combination of both.

1. A method of configuring a data storage device comprising:
comparing configuration data records of a parameter file to configuration execution records of an executable file, wherein the configuration execution records are for configuring at least one configuration file of the data storage device; and when the configuration data records interlock with the configuration execution records, modifying the configuration file and storing the modified configuration file to the data storage device, wherein:
the configuration data records comprise a first plurality of fields;the configuration execution records comprise a second plurality of fields; anda configuration data record interlocks with a configuration execution record when at least one field value of the configuration data record matches at least one field value of the configuration execution record.
