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 F5.

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

For more information about the controller and its features, see the HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/ SAC_UG_ProLiantServers_en). To configure arrays, see the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/support/CASAC_RG_en).

HP Smart Storage Administrator

HP SSA is a configuration and management tool for HP Smart Array controllers. Starting with HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, HP SSA replaces ACU with an enhanced GUI and additional configuration features.

HP SSA exists in three interface formats: the HP SSA GUI, the HP SSA CLI, and HP SSA Scripting. Although all formats provide support for configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.

Some HP SSA features include the following:

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

●Suggests the optimal configuration for an unconfigured system

●Provides diagnostic and SmartSSD Wear Gauge functionality on the Diagnostics tab

●For supported controllers, provides access to additional features.

For more information about HP SSA, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpssa).

Option ROM Configuration for Arrays

Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.

The utility also provides support for the following functions:

●Reconfiguring one or more logical drives

●Viewing the current logical drive configuration
