Array Configuration Utility 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 • Beginning with ACU version 8.28.13.0, provides diagnostic functionality on the Diagnostics tab (formerly known as Array Diagnostics Utility). For optimum performance, the minimum display settings are 1024 × 768 resolution and 16-bit color. Servers running Microsoft® operating systems require one of the following supported browsers: • Internet Explorer 6.0 or later • Mozilla Firefox 2.0 or later For Linux servers, see the README.TXT file for additional browser and support information. For more information about the controller and its features, see the HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide on the HP website (http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01608507/c01608507.pdf). To configure arrays, see the Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide on the HP website (http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00729544/c00729544.pdf). Diagnostics tasks The ACU Diagnostics feature replaces the Array Diagnostic Utility supported by SmartStart v8.20 and earlier. For each controller, or for all of them, you can select the following tasks: • View Diagnostic Report-ACU generates and displays the diagnostic report. • Generate Diagnostic Report-ACU generates a report without the graphical display. For either task, you can save the report. In the SmartStart environment, you can save the report to a formatted diskette or USB device. In online and offline environments, ACU saves the diagnostic report to a compressed folder, which contains an XML report, a plain text report, and a viewer file so you can display and navigate the report through a web browser. Each ACU Diagnostics report contains a consolidated view of any error or warning conditions encountered. It also provides detailed information for every storage device, including the following: • Device status • Configuration flags • Firmware version numbers • Physical drive error logs Software tools and solutions 72
