The HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU) provides online, high availability configuration, management, and diagnostic capabilities in support of all Smart Array products and particular HP ProLiant Storage RAID Array Controllers. The software consistency of the related tools reduces the cost of training for each successive generation of product and takes much of the guesswork out of troubleshooting field problems. These tools lower the total cost of ownership by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain HP server storage.
ACU, and its family of tools, are provided in various forms:
- As a graphically rich, web-based application
- HP Array Configuration Utility
- As a command-line application
- HP Array Configuration Utility (CLI)
- As a capture/deploy scripting application
- HP Array Configuration Utility (Scripting)
- Note: This application is delivered with the HP Array Configuration Utility (CLI) packages
The HP Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) is part of the ACU family, and since ACU versions 8.28.13.0, ADU functionality has also been integrated into ACU and HPACUCLI.
- In ACU, this feature is accessible through the Diagnostic Tab
- In HPACUCLI, this feature is accessible through the diag command
- The Diagnostic Utility is also available as a stand-alone deliverable
- HP Array Diagnostic Utility (CLI)
