Accessing the Onboard Administrator (OA) via service port
Each OA has a service port (this is the right-most Ethernet port on the OA). This allows you to use a
laptop to access the OA command line interface. See HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure Setup and
Installation Guide for instructions on how to connect a laptop to the service port.
Using hpacucli – Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
The hpacucli command is a command line interface to the HP ExDS9100cc controllers. It can also
be used to configure the E200i and P700m controllers (although HP does not recommend this because
HP ExDS9100 system software automatically configures those controllers).
The exdsmgr command is normally used to look at the state of HP ExDS9100c arrays. However, the
hpacucli command is useful if the utility database is down. It allows you to look at the state of
arrays. (Also, see the exds_stdiag command in Chapter 14).
Use the hpacucli command on any server in the system. HP does not recommend multiple copies
of hpacucli be started (on several different servers) at the same time.
Utility database
Normally, you should not need to access the utility database. Sometimes, however, HP technical
support might need to access, or request that you modify, the database. This section provides examples
of database access commands.
To run the mysql utility, use the following command:
# mysql mxsodb
mysql>
Enter SQL commands at the prompt. Commands are terminated by a semi-colon (;). String fields must
be enclosed with single quotes (‘).
To see the names of all tables and to get a description of the fields in a specific table, enter the
following commands:
• mysql> show tables;
• mysql> describe mxso_servers;
To print all records from a table:
mysql> select * from mxso_hbas;
To print specific fields:
mysql> select name,serial_number from mxso_servers;
To update records in a table, use the update command as shown in the following example:
