HP ACU-CLI Overview The HP Array Configuration Utility Command Line Interface (HP ACU-CLI) is a command-line-based disk configuration tool that can be used to configure and manage Smart Array Controllers and RAID Array Controllers in Integrity Linux environments. HP ACU-CLI is available as a part of the HP Insight Foundation Suite for Integrity with Linux and can be obtained from the Linux on HP Integrity Servers web site: http://www.hp.
• • • • • the device name mapping might change after you first reboot the system. Also, after rebooting, Linux might see logical drives that were previously not visible. This name mapping problem is common to all SCSI devices on Linux. Do not insert or remove a controller driver module when hpacucli is running. Stop the HP Storage Agents when deleting logical drives since HP Storage Agents keep all logical drives open.
NOTE: To avoid creating this adverse condition, the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux installer will not install the HP ACU-CLI (hpacucli) product on these servers and this option is not displayed in the product installation menu. Further, if hpacucli is detected on the system, it is uninstalled by the installer. Workaround: If multiple logical drives are required on a given SmartArray controller, use the ORCA utility at the EFI shell to configure them.
• Rebuild issue when Smart Array 6402 controller is installed in an rx4640 connected to internal volumes. THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED IN THE 7.65 RELEASE. ACU-CLI should perform a rescan of the SCSI bus as a result of running "rescan" or "pd show all" commands. This in turn should initiate a rebuild of an array after replacement of a failed drive. The rebuild does not take place as a result of running these commands with the released version.
When existing volumes are modified or deleted, or when new volumes are created using HP ACU-CLI, the operating system will not always be aware of the changes unless the system is rebooted. Workaround: You must reboot the system after making changes to existing volumes. • ACU-CLI cannot delete the last logical disk. THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED IN hpacucli8.40+hp-fc-enablement-1.1-13. ACU-CLI cannot delete the last logical disk that connects to the Qlogic Fibre Channel card. This issue only happens on RHEL5.
