Utilities and features

Array Configuration Utility

ACU is a utility with the following features:

•

Runs as a local application or remote service accessed through the HP System Management Homepage

•

Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension, assignment of online spares, and
RAID or stripe size migration

•

Suggests the optimum configuration for an unconfigured system

•

For supported controllers, provides access to licensed features, including:

Moving and deleting individual logical volumes

Advanced Capacity Expansion (SATA to SAS and SAS to SATA)

Offline Split Mirror

RAID 6 and RAID 60

RAID 1 (ADM) and RAID 10 (ADM)

HP Drive Erase

Video-On-Demand Advanced Controller Settings

•

Provides different operating modes, enabling faster configuration or greater control over the
configuration options

•

Remains available any time that the server is on

•

Displays on-screen tips for individual steps of a configuration procedure

•

Provides context-sensitive searchable help content

•

Provides diagnostic and SmartSSD Wear Gauge functionality on the Diagnostics tab

ACU is now available as an embedded utility, starting with HP ProLiant Gen8 servers. To access ACU, use

one of the following methods:

•

If an optional controller is not installed, press

F10

during boot.

•

If an optional controller is installed, when the system recognizes the controller during POST, press

For optimum performance, the minimum display settings are 1024 × 768 resolution and 16-bit color. Servers

running Microsoft® operating systems require one of the following supported browsers:

•

Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

•

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later

For Linux servers, see the README.TXT file for additional browser and support information.
