HP Array Configuration Utility – Command Line Interface

HP Array Configuration Utility – Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI) for Linux on Itanium-based systems is an online tool that can be used to manage and configure Smart Array-based storage controllers. The HP ACU-CLI is an interactive command console that provides immediate feedback to the user, and is functionally equivalent to the ACU GUI.

OpenPegasus implements the WBEM standard to enable management solutions that deliver increased control of enterprise resources. OpenPegasus is installed on your HP Integrity system by default when WBEM providers or HP nPartitions commands are installed; OpenPegasus is not installed as a standalone application.

OpenPegasus SDK is the software developers kit for the OpenPegasus product. It provides the tools needed to develop Common Information Model (CIM) client applications and provides modules for OpenPegasus.

NOTE: You can download all current versions of OpenPegasus SDK from the Open Group website:

The Small Footprint CIM Broker (sfcb) is a CIM server conforming to the CIM Operations over HTTP protocol. It supports the HP SMX WBEM providers that were developed in conjunction with the Common Manageability Programming Interface (CMPI). The Small Footprint CIM Broker provides access to the HP SMX WBEM providers and is installed on your HP Integrity system by default when WBEM providers are installed on SLES 11. It is not installed as a standalone application.

NOTE: The sblim-sfcbRPM is not included in the support pack, however it is delivered with the SLES11 distribution.

For more information, see the HP SMX WBEM Providers for Linux Installation Guide and Release Notes.

HP Utilization Provider Including WBEM

HP Utilization Provider provides a light-weight daemon, utild, that records system-utilization data on a five-minute interval. System-utilization data includes CPU utilization, memory utilization, disk utilization, and network utilization. The HP Utilization Provider includes the WBEM provider, which provides access to the utilization data. The Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management Software relies on the HP Utilization Provider. Removing HP Utilization Provider prevents the VSE Management Software from functioning properly.

When HP Utilization Provider is installed, it launches the utild daemon, which consumes minimal CPU, memory, and disk resources. Only 30 days of utilization data are kept in data files in /var/adm/util. The total disk space used by these files should not exceed 20MB in the default installation. The utild process wakes up every five minutes and discovers and records four metrics (CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization); this discovery process has minimal impact on system performance.
