Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
86 Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide
Figure 44: Configuration mode selection screen
The configuration mode selection screen provides up to three different methods
that you can use to configure a controller. (Express Configuration mode is listed
only if there is unused space or an unassigned drive on the selected controller.)
Note: If the controller that you selected is unconfigured, the gray Configuration View
region of the screen shows only unassigned drives. Arrays, logical drives, and unused
space are absent.
Details of the subsequent steps in the controller configuration process are given in
the remainder of this chapter.
■ If the controller is not configured (it has no arrays or logical drives, only
unassigned physical drives), refer to the section, “Configuring a New
Controller.”
■ If the controller is already configured but you want to reconfigure it, refer to
“Modifying an Existing Controller.”
