ACU is a browser-based utility that can be run in both an offline and online mode. ACU features include: • 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 • Displays on-screen tips for individual steps of a configuration procedure In the ACU, when a controller is selected, the utility checks the drive arrays. Available tasks include: • Controller settings-Configures the supported controller settings. Depending on the controller, these can include setting the array accelerator cache ratio, transform and rebuild priorities, and surface scan delay. • Caching settings-Configures the supported caching settings which can help increase performance by taking advantage of cache memory. Caching also help protect date integrity when used with a battery or capacitor. • Clear configuration-Resets the controller's configuration to its default state. Any existing arrays or logical drives are deleted, and any data on the logical drives is lost. Confirm this is the preferred action before proceeding. • Physical drive write cache settings-Enables or disables the write cache on physical drives attached to a controller. This feature can improve performance but precautions must be taken to ensure data integrity. • Modify space activation mode-Switches the spare activation mode from the default behavior (activate on failure only) to predictive spare activation and back. • Set Bootable Logical Drive/Volume-Sets the primary and secondary boot logical drives and volumes. Local logical drives as well as remote logical drives and volumes are listed for selection. 30 Using Intelligent Provisioning
