Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
90 Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide
Configuring a New Controller
Open the ProLiant Storage Manager as described in “Accessing the ACU.” Select
a controller and click Configure. The configuration mode selection screen opens.
Figure 48: Starting to configure a new controller
Note: If you select a controller that is already configured, arrays and logical drives are
displayed in the Configuration View window in addition to any unassigned physical
drives that may be present. The procedure for reconfiguring a previously configured
controller is slightly more complex, and is described in “Modifying an Existing
Configuration.”
These methods are available for configuring the controller:
■ Express Configuration automatically sets up the optimum configuration for
the controller after you have answered a few simple questions.
■ Standard Configuration lets you configure the controller manually without
using wizards.
■ Configuration Wizards guides you through a manual configuration process.
