Array Configuration Utility overview
The HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU) software for Smart Array controllers and the StorageWorks Enclosure
4x00 family of products makes it easy to configure and expand your disk drive arrays. This web-based tool
is intuitive. By using its Configuration Wizards, your array controller is set up and ready to use in minutes.
ACU is also versatile: use it to locally or remotely configure your array controller, add additional disk drives
to an existing configuration, or completely reconfigure your disk drive array. Additionally, innovative features
such as Online Capacity Expansion, Logical Drive Capacity Extension, and RAID Level Migration enable
you to change your array configuration and settings as your storage needs change.
HP Array Configuration Utility is available through HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) from the Tools &
Links
tab on the System Page. See
