Configuring the Server Array Configuration Replicator Utility The Array Configuration Replicator (ACR) utility enables you to configure Smart Array controllers remotely on a target server. ACR is part of the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. ACR creates a configuration script file containing the array controller configuration information. ACR can then read this configuration information from a script file and apply the configuration to the controllers in the target server. ACR allows the array configuration existing on one ProLiant DL760 G2 server to be replicated on other ProLiant DL760 G2 servers. ACR has three modes of operation: • Capture mode-Captures the array configuration on all HP Storage Array controllers configured in the server and saves it to a script file that can be used later for replication purposes. • Custom mode-Reads an array configuration specified in a script file and applies the configuration on a target system, allowing the user to specify all the details of a configuration. Custom mode is typically required when applying a captured configuration. • Auto mode-Reads the array configuration specified in a script file and applies the configuration on a target system, relying on basic input parameters and making automatic decisions to apply a configuration on a controller.
