Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

I have been able to access the ACU from within the system managemnet homepage from full GUI windows system, you have to enable remote management mode first and then access the SMH(https://hostname or IP:2381 login and then you should be able to access the ACU i just tested this with Hyper-v Server 2008 R2. and it worked just fine. as a standard i usually enable the remote service mode for the ACU when i build a Core box so doing it on a Hyper v server is the same. the correct path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Compaq\Cpqacuxe\bin\ run file cpqacuxe and then choose remote services mode

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

On my hyper-v server ACU works ok.

I found problem with hyper-v only in sending e-mail alerts, when events ocuour, because core server dosn't have mapi for sending mail (there is no IE). I suspect that HP Wbem Dump warning in eventlog is also because hyper-v server.

Another strange problem is that NC382i network card is not displayed in SMH home page.

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

The issue being discussed is not running 2008 Server Core with the Hyper-V role installed, but running Hyper-V Server 2008. These are two very different products.

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

Jeremy,

I just wanted to say thanks for your post. I could not get the ACU to work remotely now matter what I did, but once I installed the System Management Homepage I could get to that remotely, and the link inside that got me to ACU.

HP may or may not support it, but the ACU web interface DOES WORK remotely on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

ACU works fine , even remotely , on hyper-v .
Just check to have opened the firewall port 2381 and 2301 with the following commands

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP SHM" dir=in protocol=TCP localport=2381 action=allow

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP SHM" dir=in protocol=TCP localport=2301 action=allow

Then after installing the ACU and configured for remote service you should be able to connect remotely

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

you have to enable ports, check previous post.
if this is not working and you need to change something quick boot from smart start and change what you need using the offline ACU.

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

I am also unable to get this to work on a ML350G6. Used the SmartStart CD to install Hyper-V Server. The utilities auto-installed on first boot. I enabled ACU Remote Service Mode and opened the firewall ports. I can access the System Management Homepage perfectly. Every link on the SMH works perfectly. But clicking on the ACU link tells me:

The current security settings on your server prevent you from accessing the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) remotely. To run ACU on this server, you must access it at http://127.0.0.1:2301 from a browser running on the local server.

HP tech support has run me through checking every option, but it's still not working for me. They are researching the issue and they say they're going to get back to me, but I haven't heard from them yet. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd be grateful for the assistance.

RDP into the Hyper-V Server (or do this from the console), and run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Compaq\Cpqacuxe\Bin\setup.exe" Select Remote Service mode, and you should be able to access it remotely afterwards.

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

How did you install the HP Management tools on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Core server, I cant seem to find the installation and installation guide.

Re: Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

Thanks to Jeromey and Stefano for the guidance. On my Hyper-C server 2008 I have:
1) Setup remote management
2) Installed both system management console and array configuration utility.
3) Created firewall rules to open inbound access to ports 2301 and 2381.
However when I browse to
http://server:2301
https://server:2381
or
https://server:2381/ACU-XE/ACU.htm
I get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Even more annoying now that I know it should work!

When I check the server, I can see that the Array Configuration Utility service is running and that my rules are in the firewall. Any ideas what could be wrong?
