Determine which storage configuration utility to use Depending on your operating system and your preference of user interfaces, use one of the following provided utilities to configure the MSA: • Command Line Interface (CLI) • Array Configuration Utility (ACU) • Array Configuration Utility - Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI) NOTE: See "Plan your storage configuration" on page 25 and "Review MSA installation best practices" on page 21 for help developing a configuration plan. About the MSA Command Line Interface The MSA Command Line Interface (CLI) is built into the controller firmware and can be used to configure, manage, and monitor all aspects of the MSA, including hard drive array configuration. The CLI is accessed by connecting the serial port on a host computer or laptop to the customized RJ-45Z serial port on the front of the MSA. The specialized CLI Configuration cable is included in the shipping carton with the MSA. All supported operating systems can use the CLI. Default settings are as follows: • Bits per second: 19200 • Data bits: 8 • Parity: None • Stop bits: 1 • Flow control: None For information about using the CLI, obtain and see the MSA1000/MSA1500 Command Line Interface user guide. This guide is available on the Documentation CD and the Technical documentation page of the MSA1500 website: http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs. About the Array Configuration Utility The Array Configuration Utility (ACU) is a server-based, browser-accessed tool used to configure an array controller and its storage. The ACU is supported for use in Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments and can run locally from the server or remotely through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM). The ACU: • Provides a graphical user interface view of HP array configurations. • Includes easy to use configuration wizards. • Allows the setting of access rights to MSA storage by hosts. • Supports local or remote access. • Runs online (from the server) in Windows and Linux environments.
