Array Configuration Utility | HP P4000 G2 guide

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.

1.Select Start > Programs > HP Management Tools > Array Configuration Utility.

2.If the Execution Mode for ACU is set to Remote Mode, log on to the HP System Management Homepage. The default user name is administrator and the default password is hpinvent.

To open the ACU in browser mode:

NOTE:

Confirm that the ACU Execution Mode is set to remote service.

1.Open a browser and enter the server name or IP address of the destination server. For example, http://servername:2301 or http://192.0.0.1:2301.

2.Log on to the HP System Management Homepage. The default user name is administrator and the default password is hpinvent.

3.Click Array Configuration Utility on the left side of the window. The ACU opens and identifies the controllers that are connected to the system.

Some ACU guidelines to consider:

•Do not modify the first two logical drives of the storage system; they are configured for the storage system operating system.

•Spanning more than 14 disks with a RAID 5 volume is not recommended.

•Designate spares for RAID sets to provide greater protection against failures.

•RAID sets cannot span controllers.

•A single array can contain multiple logical drives of varying RAID settings.

•Extending and expanding arrays and logical drives is supported.
