The HP Offline Array Configuration Utility provides an ISO image that can be mounted, burned to a CD/DVD, or flashed to a USB memory key or SD card by using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows.This deliverable will allow users to boot into an environment from which they can choose various configuration utilities (ACU, HPACUCLI, and HPACUSCRIPTING) prior to the Host OS loading. Users can then configure or maintain the detected and supported devices such as HP ProLiant Smart Array Controllers, HP ProLiant Integrated Smart Array Controllers, and HP ProLiant StorageWorks RAID Array Controllers.You can use the Array Configuration Utility for several tasks such as configuring the array controller initially, adding disk drives to an existing configuration, diagnosing and monitoring potential issues, or to reconfigure your array controller. Upgrade Requirement:
Optional - Users should update to this version if their system is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. - This offline environment includes 9.10.22.0 versions of:
- Array Configuration Utility (HP ACU)
- Array Configuration Utility CLI (HP ACUCLI)
- Array Configuration Scripting (HP ACU Scripting)
- The Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear Gauge features are embedded in the ACU and HP ACUCLI utilities themselves
These versions of the utilities support: - HP Dynamic Smart Array B120i
- HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i
- HP Smart Array P822
Added new features requiring a valid SAAP 2.0 (Smart Array Advanced Pack) license key: - Replace Array
- Allows the transfer of contents of an array to an existing empty array or a new array. All logical drives from the source array will be transferred. The original array will be deleted and its data drives will be freed as unassigned drives. The drive types at source and destination arrays can be different. This allows moving data from SATA to SAS, or SAS to SATA. However, the drive types comprising the array must still be of the same type.
- Heal Array
- Allows the replacement of failed or degraded physical drives in an array with healthy physical drives. The original array and logical drive numbering will be unaffected after the replacement. The replacement physical drives must be of the same interface type (such as SAS, SATA and etc.) as the original drives. The operation will be available only if enough unassigned physical drives of the correct size are available.
- Spilt Mirror BackupRollback
- Create Split Mirror Backup
- This task splits an array that consists of one or more RAID1, RAID 1+0, RAID 1 (ADM), or RAID 10 (ADM) and creates two arrays: A primary array and a backup array. The new arrays have the following characteristics:
- If the original array contained RAID 1 or RAID 1+0 drives, the primary array will contain RAID 0 drives.
- If the original array contained RAID 1 (ADM) drives, the primary array will contain RAID 1 drives.
- If the original array contained RAID 10 (ADM) drives, the primary array will contain RAID 1+0 drives.
- The backup array always contains RAID 0 logical drives.
- The primary array continues to be fully accessible to the operating system while the backup array is hidden from the operating system.
- This feature is useful when you want to capture a backup before performing a risky operation. The Manage Split Mirror Backup operation can be used to either re-mirror the primary and backup arrays, or to make the backup array into an independent array which can be accessed by the operating system.
- Manage Split Mirror Backup
- This task allows for the management of the primary and backup arrays created by the Create Split Mirror Backup operation. When the operation is performed on a primary array, the following options are available:
- Re-mirror the array and preserve the existing data. Discard the backup array. This option re-creates the original mirrored array with the contents of the primary array.
- Re-mirror the array and rollback to the contents of the backup array. Discard existing data. This option re-creates the mirrored array but restores its contents to the point in time when the backup array was created. It is not recommended that this option be performed online, or while the logical drive to be rolled back is mounted or in use by the operating system.
- Activate the backup array. This option makes the backup array fully accessible to the operating system.
Note: In the case where the primary array is no longer available. This task can only be used to activate the backup array. To ensure the integrity of your download, HP recommends verifying your results with this MD5 Checksum value: | 475ea02382649432cd212385c6036163 | hpacuoffline-9.10-22.0-x86.zip |
Reboot Requirement:
Reboot is not required after installation for updates to take effect and hardware stability to be maintained. Installation:
Download the offline ACU zip file and then burn/write the ISO image to the desired media (CD/DVD/USB Key/SD card) using the HP USB Key Utility for Windows Insert the media into the server and boot the server. Verify that your system can boot from the desired media. A menu with the three boot options (ACU, ACUCLI, HPACUSCRIPTING) is shown. The user can manually select which utility to start; or if no selection is made, ACU is automatically started. This image is a bootable environment that immediately starts ACU to allow configuration of storage. This ISO image can also be mounted as a CD image through ILO2 or higher. It is highly recommended that your server have the latest BIOS firmware and latest ILO2 or higher firmware installed. This utility provides the following boot options: * The web based Array Configuration Utility (ACU) * The command line Array Configuration Utility (ACUCLI) * The command line Array Configuration Scripting Utility (HPACUSCRIPTING) End User License Agreements:
