HPACUCLI utility
The HPACUCLI utility supports HP ProLiant 300/500/700 and Blade servers with integrated
SmartArray controllers and option controllers. The utility supports reporting and configuration of
the SmartArray. Configuration includes the ability to create arrays; create, expand, and delete
logical drives and many other advanced operations. The information provided in the guide is
introductory and example focused . For more information, see HP Array Configuration Utility User

HPACUCLI command-line syntax
Using VMware esxcli requires knowledge about the CLI usage. The VMware vSphere command
line documentation is available at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/.
The following is an overview of the ESXCLI command-line format:
# esxcli {namespace} {object} {command} {cmd options} “command-string”

This is the string which dictates the operation that should be executed by the target application itself.“command-string”
The current namespace and command names are: hpacucli and cmd respectively. The {cmd
options} parameter can be cmdopts or -q. There is no need for an {object} type for ACUCLI
since the application operates on internal commands supplied in the command-string.
