Configuring the Enclosure Drives

The following tools are available for configuring the drives in an MSA20 enclosure:

The HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU)—A versatile, browser-based utility
that provides you with maximum control over the configuration parameters

The HP Option ROM Configuration for Arrays utility (ORCA)—A simple ROM-
based utility that runs on all operating systems

The MSA1500 cs Command Line Interface (CLI)—A tool for configuring and
managing an MSA1500 cs and its attached storage

NOTE: Old versions of ACU and ORCA do not support the MSA20. Before using one of these
utilities, upgrade the firmware and drivers on the external sixth-generation Smart Array
controller. The latest version of ACU is downloadable from the HP website, http://www.hp.com.

For further information about using ACU, or for conceptual information about arrays,
logical drives, and fault-tolerance methods, refer to the HP Array Configuration
Utility User Guide
. This document is available on the Documentation CD provided in
the MSA20 kit.

For further information about using ORCA, and for a detailed comparison of the
features and capabilities of ORCA and ACU, refer to the user guide for the sixth-
generation controller to which the MSA20 is connected. This document is available
on the Documentation CD that was provided in the controller kit. Alternatively, you
can download a copy of the document from the appropriate controller-specific page
on the HP website,

http://www.hp.com.

For further information about using the CLI, refer to the MSA1500 cs documentation
