ACU Wont Detect my controller

TRSands01 — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:58:08 GMT

I am preparing to upgrade my Proliant ML 350 by hot-swapping out the drives for larger ones then reallocating drive partitions. I downloaded ACU version 8.0.14.0 from HP . However when I run it on my server it says no supported controllers detected. How can I findout what is my controller without having to bring the system down? Also, I would like to do the drive swaps 'online' without bringing down the system. How can I monitor the progress of the rebuild?

hi,

the ACU is to old use the latest version, i hade the same situation 3 months ago.

the version 8.0.14 is from this site :

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/software-management/acumatrix/index.html

==> Download software ==> Windows GUI ACU ==>

but this version is obsolete, you need to download it from this location :

HP ProLiant Array Configuration Utility for Windows 8.40.4.0 (B) (15 Apr 2010)

I tried your suggestion with the same results. Upon further checking I found that I have an Adaptec I20 SCSI RaiD controller. So I guess Im in the wrong forum
