If there is an older version of ACU CLI installed on the system, please use "rpm -e hpacucli" to remove it first. Use "rpm -i " to install the application. Please type "man rpm" for other details regarding RPM. The software resides in /opt/compaq/hpacucli and the executable name is hpacucli which is located in /usr/sbin. Run the ACU CLI: Make sure that you have gone through the following checklist: . You run hpacucli as root. To start the application: If /usr/sbin is already added in your path, just type: "hpacucli". More options can be found by "hpacucli help". Also see the "Using ACU CLI" section of this document, located after Feedback. Exiting ACU: 1. To exit the ACU CLI, type "exit" while at the CLI command console. Additional Notes ---------------- 1. CCISS and CPQARRAY drivers support up to 16 logical drives per controller. After creating or deleting logical drives with ACU CLI, under some special circumstances, the device name mapping might change after you first reboot the system. Also, Linux might see previously not visible logical drives after rebooting. This name mapping problem is common to all SCSI devices on linux. 2. Do not insert or remove a controller driver module when hpacucli is running. 3. Please stop the HP Storage Agents when deleting logical drives since HP Storage Agents keeps all logical drives open. 4. If all physical drives on a controller fail or are removed, software keys will not be saved to the controller. 5. ACU CLI may appear unresponsive during heavy array controller I/O conditions, such as during a partition format or a logical drive rebuild. 6. ACU CLI will not disallow the deletion of logical drives on fibre controllers that have mounted partitions.
