Array configuration utility shows blank page during RAID 5 expansion

I'm running DL360 G7 with CentOS 5.8.

 

Added a new drive a few days ago, started the expansion (via web GUI, cpqacuxe), everythink worked just fine. After next login to HP System Managment Homepage  ACU shows only a blank page.

 

 

Found some notes in readme file:

 

  12. ACU may appear unresponsive during heavy array controller I/O conditions, such as
      during a partition format or a logical drive rebuild.

 

 

1. is there a way to make ACU work correctly  in SMH during expansion (ACU shows a blank page atm)?

 

2. cpqacuxe - is it simply a web gui for hpacucli, or something much more complex?

 

  for example, can I --stop it during the expansion? or stopping it will interrupt the whole process?

 

 

 

I am still able to track the status of the transformation with  "/opt/compaq/hpacucli/bld/hpacucli ctrl all show config detail" command, but would be nice if I could also use ACU in SMH
