Generating an ADU report (diagnostics) from within HPACUCLI for ESXi 5.0 and updates

The ACUCLI application contains the ability to generate a diagnostic report of the system and its Smart Array storage configuration. The following steps are required in order to obtain an ADU report from a remote machine running ESXi 5.0 and updates.

1.Obtain and install the HP Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear Gauge Utility:

1.Browse to http://www.hp.com

2.Click on Support & Drivers

3.Select Drivers & Software

4.In the search box, type HP Array Configuration Utility

5.Select the operating system of the client machine that will be used to remotely access the machine running ESXi 5.0 and updates.

6.Under the Software – System Management menu, proceed to download the HP ProLiant Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear Gauge Utility by clicking on the link.

NOTE: The desired version is 9.x or newer.

7.Install the Windows component or Linux RPM package onto the client machine.

2.The location where the package has installed the included applications and then update your system path to include this location.

3.The client machine used to access the remote ESXi 5.0 and updates machine must also have the vSphere CLI esxcli command line tool installed and must be accessible through the system path. Ensure that the client machine location is included in the path.
