Hp Smart Array Configuration Utility Esxi
Canon Ir 5000 Firmware Definition. Aug 04, 2009 Hello, I just installed ESX 3.5 on a new HP DL380 G5 server with a SmartArray P400/256 internal RAID controller. I'd like to install HP's Array Configuration Utility on the server so I can monitor the health of the local RAID system.
Jan 17th, 2017: This is old (circa 2014) but it has relevance still. If it weren't obviously from the detail below, this is only applicable to ESXi / vSphere environments running on HP ProLiant chassis. Needless to say, these are ONLY guidelines; use your own common sense and diligence. • Download • Download • Download the ESXi patch • Open the RPM with 7-Zip • ‘Explore’ the RPM content and browse to opt compaq hpacucli bld and extract to the local machine (e.

Please note: I noticed that this post still gets a lot of attention. Before reading through the whole post you should know: the workaround described here is only necessary for ESXi 4.x. For ESXi 5.x there is an officially supported Online ACU CLI available from HP (see the update at the end of this post)!
A while ago I posted about the. HP does not provide an Online version of this tool for VMware ESXi, so expanding a local RAID array can only be done with this Offline version which requires a downtime of the host for the whole duration of the expansion. Somehow I did not want to accept this, and - by just trying it out - I finally discovered that you can actually run the Linux version of the ACU CLI tool ( hpacucli) in ESXi! Hpacucli is not the web interface version of the ACU (which is called cpqacuxe) that you may be used to from Windows systems. Cpqacuxe is also available in a Linux version, but I could not get it to run in the ESXi shell. Hpacucli is surely less intuitive to use, but it offers the same functionality than the web tool and allows you to do all controller configuration and volume expansion tasks that are supported with SmartArray controllers.
