2. Log in to the HP System Management Homepage. The default user name is administrator and the
default password is hpinvent.
3.
Click Array Configuration Utility on the left side of the window. The ACU opens and identifies
the controllers that are connected to the system.
Some ACU guidelines to consider:
• Do not modify Array A off of the Smart Array controller, because it contains the storage server
operating system.
• Spanning more than 14 disks with a RAID 5 volume is not recommended.
• Designate spares for RAID sets to provide greater protection against failures.
• RAID sets cannot span controllers.
• A single array can contain multiple logical drives of varying RAID settings.
• Extending and expanding arrays and logical drives is supported.
• RAID migration is not supported.

Disk Management utility

The Disk Management tool is a system utility for managing hard disks and the volumes, or partitions,
that they contain. Disk Management is used to initialize disks, create volumes, format volumes with the
FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems, and create fault-tolerant disk systems. Most disk-related tasks can be
performed in Disk Management without restarting the system or interrupting users. Most configuration
changes take effect immediately. A complete online help facility is provided with the Disk Management
utility for assistance in using the product.

NOTE:
• When the Disk Management utility is accessed, the Remote Desktop connection assumes a dedicated
mode and can only be used to manage disks and volumes on the server. Accessing to another
page during an open session closes the session.
