Array Configuration Replicator Utility

The Array Configuration Replicator (ACR) utility enables you to configure Smart
Array controllers remotely on a target server. ACR is part of the SmartStart Scripting
Toolkit.
ACR creates a configuration script file containing the array controller configuration
information. ACR can then read this configuration information from a script file and
apply the configuration to the controllers in the target server. ACR allows the array
configuration existing on one ProLiant DL740 server to be replicated on other
ProLiant DL740 servers.
ACR has three modes of operation:
•
Capture mode—Captures the array configuration on all HP Storage Array
controllers configured in the server and saves it to a script file that can be used
later for replication purposes.
•
Custom mode—Reads an array configuration specified in a script file and
applies the configuration on a target system, allowing the user to specify all the
details of a configuration. Custom mode is typically required when applying a
captured configuration.
•
Auto mode—Reads the array configuration specified in a script file and applies
the configuration on a target system, relying on basic input parameters and
making automatic decisions to apply a configuration on a controller.
