MSA1500 Server 2008 R2 SP1 ACU crashes

[sobacct]

I’m running Server 2008 R2 SP1 & HP Array Configuration Utility 8.75.12.0 on two separate servers to manage a MSA1500 SAN.  When using the ACU to manage the MSA1500, the ACU crashes.  Both MSA1500 are running in Active/Active mode.  One MSA is running the latest firmware available and the other MSA is running firmware that is one version behind.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a solution?

I have the same issue.  I had just upgraded the ACU software to 8.75.12 and this started.  I reverted to the previous version of 8.70.9 and things operate normally again.

Thanks for the answer. I had the same problem. Your solution worked for me :-))

This worked for me, with an MSA 1000. Downgraded from ACU v 9.0.24.0

I use ACU 9.40.12.0 32-bit (!) on 64-bit 2008 R2. Seems it works. Filename for this version is cp018120.exe. 

Attention!!! Do NOT install using this exe directly - setup will fail (saying thayt the system is unsupported)! You need to extract files from exe and then install extracted msi file.
