Storage management utilities
The storage management utilities preinstalled on the storage system include the HP Array
Configuration Utility (ACU).
Array management utilities
Storage devices for RAID arrays and LUNs are created and managed using the array management
utilities mentioned previously. For HP Smart Arrays use the ACU.
NOTE:
The ACU is used to configure and manage array-based storage. Software RAID-based
storage systems use Microsoft Disk Manager to manage storage. You need administrator or root
privileges to run the ACU.
Array Configuration Utility
The HP ACU supports the Smart Array controllers and hard drives installed on the storage system.
To open the ACU from the storage system desktop:
NOTE:
If this is the first time that the ACU is being run, you will be prompted to select the Execution
Mode for ACU. Selecting Local Application Mode allows you to run the ACU from a Remote
Desktop, remote console, or storage system web access mode. Remote service mode allows you
to access the ACU from a remote browser.
