Procedure
ACU GUI
ACU CLI
ACU Scripting
Configure a RAID 60 logical drive
+/
+/
+/
Copy the configuration of one system to multiple systems
1
1
+
Disable a redundant controller
+
2
+
Enable or disable a physical drive write cache
+
+
+
HP Drive Erase (replace the content of a physical drive or logical
drive with zeros or random 0 and 1)
+/
+/
Identify devices by causing their LEDs to flash
+
+
Move an array (copy all array data to a new array and then
delete the old array)
+/
2
+/
+/
Optimize the controller performance for video
+/
2
+/
+/
Re-enable a failed logical drive
+
+
Set the surface scan delay
+
+
+
Set the preferred controller for a logical drive (in systems that
support redundant controllers)
+
2
+
+
Shrink an array (restripe the data on an array to occupy fewer
physical drives, then remove the excess drives from the array)
+/
2
+/
+/
Split a RAID 1 array or recombine a split array (offline only)
+/
1
Scripting is the most efficient method for this task.

The task is supported only from the Configuration screen.
