HP ACU (Array Configuration Utility) for ESX 3.5

[COS]

I ran accross a thread that gave a link to HP's ACU for ESX but I can't find it now. Does anyone know where to get the ACU for ESX?

Thanks

Hello,

There is no ACU specifically for ESX, but the one for RHEL3 often works for local disks and perhaps qlogic based SANs, but I have never seen it work for Emulex connected SANs.

Best regards,

I've installed the HP Array Configuration Utility CLI for Linux on an HP ML150 G5. The controller is a SmartArray E200.

I retrieved the hpacucli-8.10-2.noarch.rpm from the HP DL380 G5 Software & Drivers section for RHEL3 (x86)

Here is the output from the hpacucli ctrl all show config detail command.
