ACU is a browser-based utility with the following features: • Runs as a local application or remote service • Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension, assignment of online spares, and RAID or stripe size migration • Suggests the optimum configuration for an unconfigured system • Provides different operating modes, enabling faster configuration or greater control over the configuration options • Remains available any time that the server is on • Displays on-screen tips for individual steps of a configuration procedure For optimum performance, the minimum display settings are 800 × 600 resolution and 256 colors. Servers running Microsoft operating systems require Internet Explorer 5.5 (with Service Pack 1) or later. For Linux servers, see the README.TXT file for additional browser and support information. For more information, see the ACU section of the array configuration reference guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website: http://www.hp.com.
