Array Configura
tion Utility Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI)
overview
The Array Configuration Utility Command Line Interface (ACU-CLI) is a command line user interface used
to configure an array controller and its storage.
The ACU-CLI is supported for use in Windows, Linux, and HP-UX environments and can run locally
through a browser, remotely through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM), or offline from the MSA
Support Software CD.
For more info
rmation about the ACU-CLI, see the following:
• ACU-CLI section of the array configuration reference guide, available on the Documentation CD or the
Technical documentation page of the MSA1000 website: h
ttp://www.hp.com/go/msa1000.
• ACU-CLI text file, available in the ACU-CLI folder on the Support Software CD.
MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) overview
The MSA Command Line Interface (MSA-CLI) is built into the MSA array controller firmware and offers a
command level method of configuring, managing, and monitoring the array controller and its storage.
The MSA-CLI is accessed through a host computer connected to the customized RJ-45Z serial port on the
front of the MSA controller.
This interface is provided for system administrators who prefer this method of system management,
instead of a graphical user interface. All supported operating systems can access the CLI.
Sample tasks include: configuring the storage units (LUNs), limiting access to the storage, and viewing
controller and storage setup and status information.
ArrayDiagnosticsUtility(ADU)overview
The HP Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) is a web-based application that creates a report on all HP
storage controllers and hard drives. This report provides vital information to assist in identifying faults or
conditi
ons that may require attention.
Collected information includes:
• Hard drive errors
• Interm
ittent problems
• Pre-failure Notification
• Controller, array, and logical drive problems
• Third-
party, possible counterfeit, or non-HP hard drives
• Array controller and hard drive firmware versions
• Length of hard drive service
• Physi
cal and logical drive configuration information
• Serial numbers of hard drives and array controllers
The ADU is installed on a server in the network and is provided on the MSA Support Software CD.
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) overview
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP-SIM) is a web-based application that allows system administrators
to accomplish normal administrative tasks from any remote location, using a web browser. HP-SIM
provides device management capabilities that consolidate and integrate management data from HP and
third-party devices. HP-SIM reports hardware fault conditions (both failure and pre-failure) and collects
