Introduction
20 Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide
MSA1000 Software Components
The following software components are supported on the MSA1000:
■ Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
■ Command Line Interface
■ Insight Manager 7
■ Compaq Analyze
Each software tool is discussed in the following paragraphs.
Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
The ACU is Web based and can run locally through the Windows Internet
Explorer browser screen or remotely through Insight Manager 7. If the utility is
not configured to allow remote access, it will run in the local environment.
The ACU is supported for Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments. In
Windows and Linux environments, the ACU can be run online after it is installed
on the server from the Modular SAN Array 1000 Support Software CD. NetWare
environments must run the ACU from the CD.
All agent, network services, and management software must be installed,
configured, and running before all of the features and functions of the ACU are
operational.
For Web-browser or network access, a combination of the following may need to
be installed and properly configured:
■ Windows Internet Explorer
■ TCP/IP and SNMP services
■ Agents such as Insight Manger 7
■ Host Bus Adapter drivers
Note: If you plan to use the ACU to configure and manage your storage, HP
recommends using the ACU exclusively and not using the CLI.
For information on using the ACU, see the “Array Configuration Utility (ACU)”
chapter.
