Array Configuration Utility

The Compaq Array Configuration Utility (ACU) is an easy-to-use graphical
configuration utility to help you set up and change drive array configurations.
It can be used to configure the standard internal drive controller as well as any
option controller boards that you install. This utility:

Provides a graphical view of Compaq drive array configurations

Provides express or custom initial configuration

Supports adding capacity

Supports RAID 0, 1/0+1, and 5 fault-tolerant configurations

Supports RAID level and stripe size migration

Optimizes array configurations using configuration wizards

Sets drive rebuild priorities

Allows online spare (hot spare) configuration

Allows separate fault-tolerance configurations on a logical drive basis

The Array Configuration Utility allows you to configure a disk array quickly
and simply without an in-depth understanding of RAID or drive array
technology.
