Version: 9.10.22.0 (4 Jun 2012)
Enhancements
- Added support for the following controllers:
* HP Dynamic Smart Array B120i
* HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i
* HP Smart Array P822
- Now officially supporting and providing native X64 versions in addition
to existing 32 bit versions
- Added new features requiring a valid SAAP 2.0 (Smart Array Advanced Pack) license key:
* Replace Array:
Allows the transfer of contents of an array to an existing empty
array or a new array. All logical drives from the source array will
be transferred. The original array will be deleted and its data
drives will be freed as unassigned drives. The drive types at source
and destination arrays can be different. This allows moving data from
SATA to SAS, or SAS to SATA. However, the drive types comprising the
array must still be of the same type.
* Heal Array:
Allows the replacement of failed or degraded physical drives in an
array with healthy physical drives. The original array and logical
drive numbering will be unaffected after the replacement. The
replacement physical drives must be of the same interface type (such
as SAS, SATA and etc.) as the original drives. The operation will be
available only if enough unassigned physical drives of the correct
size are available.
Version: 9.0.24.0 (27 Mar 2012)
Enhancements
- Added support for the following controllers:
* HP Smart Array P222
* HP Smart Array P420

following additions:
- RAID 1/10 Advanced Data Mirroring (ADM)
- Moving and Deleting of Individual Logical Volumes
- Move operation now supports SATA to SAS, SAS to SATA
- Predictive Spare Activation
- > 128 physical drives
- SmartSSD Wear Gauge
- Updated Cache Ratio settings
- Additional Strip Sizes - 512, 1024 on supported controllers and
configurations

- 3 TB physical drives
Version: 8.75-12.0 (22 Jun 2011)
Enhancements
- *** New ***
Starting with versions 8.75.12.0, an Offline version of ACU is
available from http://www.hp.com/ that allows users to boot directly
into the configuration and maintenance utilities prior to any Host OS
loading or being installed.
.
This new deliverable of ACU is available for download through normal
software methods (such as searching by Server model, OS, or device) or
by searching for 'HP ProLiant Offline Array Configuration Utility'
- SmartSSD Wear Gauge
This feature is accessible through the ssdinfo command in ACUCLI
Example code:
<target> show ssdinfo [detail|summary]
Provides a summary for solid state drives for the specified controller(s)
The target can be any valid controller/device
controller slot=1 show sddinfo
controller all show ssdinfo
controller all show ssdinfo detail
controller all show ssdinfo summary
- Greater than 2.2 TB Hard Drives
Version: 8.70-8.0 (11 Mar 2011)
Enhancements
- Improved speed of Diagnostic report generation
- Supported serial logs included in the zip file of the Diagnositc
reports, when applicable
- New options available during creation of logical drive size
- Now showing current and max temperatures for physical drives
- Support for failed array controllers. The "ctrl all show" command will
list any locked up controllers along with valid controllers. For failed
controllers, a message will display explaining its state along with a
lockup code, if applicable
- Support for "-h" and "-help" commandline option
- HPACUSCRIPTING updates:
* Will not display array accelerator info in capture files for
controllers which do not have cache or the cache is not configurable.
Attempting to set the array accelerator on these controllers will
result in a warning message (not an error)
* Support for logical drive command "Size=MAXMBR". This option creates
the largest possible volume in an array with the maximum size
constrained by the limits of the 32bit MBR
* New keyword, SIZEBLOCKS. Input scripts can now specify size as before
using SIZE (size in MB) or SIZEBLOCKS (size in 512 byte blocks) but
not both
* Now displays the disk interface type in the comment section for physical
disks.
Version: 8.61-1.0 (8 Feb 2011)
Fixes
- In version 8.60-8.0 of HPACUCLI, using the "show or detail commands" on
any target that includes physical drives can cause the application to
exit if one or more of the included physical drives are in a failed
state.
This release, 8.61-1.0, corrects this problem and allows the command to
complete successfully.
Version: 8.60-8.0 (10 Sep 2010)
Enhancements
- Overall Performance improvements
* HPACUCLI as well as in HPACUSCRIPTING
- Surface Scan Analysis enhancements

Version: 8.50-6.0 (28 May 2010)
Enhancements
- Overall Performance improvements
- Physical drives in a SMART state are allowed to be used at user's
discretion
- Diagnostic Report additions:
* Parity group information for RAID 50 and RAID 60 logical drives
* Information for SEP devices and Expanders
* Updated Storage Enclosure names
- Applicable only with the appropriate SAAP License Key installed:
* The Move Array operation now allows the user to move an array to
physical drives that are smaller than the original physical drives,
provided that all the data in the existing logical drives will fit
into the new array
* The new drive set must have the same number of physical drives as
the existing drive set
- Added SEP devices and Expanders to "ctrl slot=X show config" and "ctrl
slot=X show config detail" commands
- Added an "OS Status" for logical drives to indicate if it is "locked"
by the OS
- Added display of Hardware Revision info for SAS Expander boards
* "<target> enclosure all show detail" should be used in order to see
the field displayed
- Added support for being able to run ACUCLI in non-interactive mode for
read-only commands (show) even if ACU is running. For example:
# hpacucli ctrl all show
# hpacucli ctrl slot=1 pd all show status
- Added "exitonerror" feature which allows the application to exit upon
encountering any error during execution of a command. This feature is
useful for scripts invoking ACUCLI and the feature will allow scripts
to know that an error has occurred.
* The setting can also be invoked from the console as an application switch
Example: "hpacucli -exitonerror < myscript.txt"
* set [exitonerror=enable|disable]
Allows a script to decide whether an error encountered during execution
* show exitonerror
Displays the current exitonerror setting
- Added enclosure show support
* enclosure [ all | port:box | serialnumber=xxxx ] show [ detail |
status]
Outputs the storage enclosure information The target can be any
valid storage enclosure
Examples:
* controller slot=5 enclosure all show
* controller slot=5 enclosure 4E:1 show detail
* controller slot=5 enclosure serialnumber=UAB123456 show status
- Added support for the 'show' command to display devices in a logical or
physical format similar to the support in ACU (GUI)
* set [view=logical|physical]
- Allows the user to select whether certain show commands display the
output using a logical or physical view
- Logical view displays devices using their association with arrays
- Physical view displays the devices such as physical drives
according to their relationship with their storage enclosures
- The default value is logical view
* show view
- Displays the current view setting.
* Examples:
set view=physical
show view
- Added the capability to run multiple commands in command line mode
(non-interactive)
* The semicolon (";") is used as a delimiter between commands
* For example:
On LINUX, the semicolon must be escaped or in quotes
hpacucli "ctrl slot=1 show; ctrl slot=1 modify
drivewritecache=enable; ctrl slot=1 show"
- HPACUSCRIPTING Additions:
* Now shows an expanded usage message when invalid command line
arguments are provided
* Added feature to allow RAID=RAID1 for >2 disk mirrors. This
allows backwards compatibility with "old" cpqacuxe scripting. Capture
will still output correct RAID level
* Added AUTO as a valid option for QUEUEDEPTH
* Overall Performance improvements
* Added Controller=FIRST support. Controllers are now sorted in capture
files in slot ascending order
