Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
98 Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide
Using the Standard Configuration Mode to Configure a New Controller
1. In the configuration mode selection screen, click Standard Configuration.
2. Click an item in the Configuration View window.
The screen displays a list of the tasks that are available for that item.
Figure 54: Typical task list for a logical drive
The listed (available) tasks are a subset of the total number of tasks that are
possible for the selected item. Which of the possible tasks are listed for an
item and which are omitted depends on the controller model and
configuration. (For example, if the selected controller has no unassigned
physical drives, Create Array is not an available task.)
Table 13 lists all the possible tasks for every type of item.
3. Click a task link.
A list of all possible configuration options for that task is displayed on the
right-hand side of the screen (replacing the task list). See the “Description of
Screen Regions” section for an example of this type of screen.
4. Set the configuration options.
5. Click OK.
