Using ACU

For detailed information about using ACU, refer to the HP Array Configuration Utility User Guide. This
document is available on the Documentation CD that is provided in the controller kit.

Using CPQONLIN

The NetWare Online Array Configuration Utility (CPQONLIN) is an NLM that enables you to configure
drive arrays on a NetWare server without powering down the server or storage system. CPQONLIN also
provides information about the status of drives attached to the controller.
NOTE: CPQONLIN can only be used while the server is online. If you want to configure an array when the
server is offline, you must use ACU instead.
To run CPQONLIN:
Use the software CD provided with the controller to load the drivers (HPQCISS.HAM and

CPQSHD.CDM) and the executable (CPQONLIN.NLM) on the server. Detailed instructions are
provided with the CD.
Enter cpqonlin at the console prompt.

key.

If there are no logical drives connected to the controller, an auto-configuration wizard opens
and prompts you for fault-tolerance information.
If the controller is connected to at least one logical drive, CPQONLIN continues in manual
configuration mode. Use the arrow and Enter keys to navigate around the screen and set up
the logical drive. To get online help at any time, press the F1 key.
When you have finished configuring the array, save the changes.
