Configuring the Server
Running ACU from the Operating System
If the server that you are configuring is running in Windows 2000, Windows Server
2003, or Linux, you can install and run the configuration utility online:
•
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003—When you install the ProLiant
Support Pack for Windows 2000 and the ProLiant Support Pack for Windows
Server 2003, the ACU is automatically installed on the server.
•
Linux—The Array Configuration Utility is available for download from the HP
website:
h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/softwaredrivers.html
Refer to the README.TXT file included with the utility for version support
information and instructions about loading the utility.
Capacity Expansion
Capacity expansion involves adding storage capacity to an array that has already
been configured. If an existing array is nearly full of data, you can expand the
capacity without disturbing the existing data. The Smart Array 5i capacity expansion
feature allows new physical drives to be added to the array.
Logical drive extension allows you to increase the size of existing logical drives
without disturbing the data on those logical drives. If an existing logical drive is full
of data, you can extend the logical drive when there is free space on the array. If no
free space is available on the array, you can add drives to the array and proceed to
extend the logical drive.
IMPORTANT: Logical drive extension is not supported by all operating systems. Only extend
logical drives that are used with an operating system that supports extension.
