Array Configuration Utility on Hyper-V Server R2

[Alan Mason]

I have tried to install the Systems Management Homepage a few times, but although it gives no errors, I still cannot access it (browse form another system) or see any programs or services running which might have been started by the installation. In fact, I cannot even find an executable called hpsmhd.exe on the disc, never mind running! In the meantime, I have downloaded and installed the command line version of the HP array Diagnostics and used that to generate a report and send it to HP.
Anyway, thanks for you help.

Since I did the SMH install ~4 and a half months ago, I really don't remember if there was anything special about it. I just remember that the remote ACU would not work until I installed SMH :/

Hi Alan,
a couple of tests:
- You used httP://server1:2301 , can you check the server1 name is correctly resolved ? Can you try the same with its IP instead of the name ?
- just to be sure try the following again
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP SHMS" dir=in protocol=TCP localport=2381 action=allow
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HP SHM" dir=in protocol=TCP localport=2301 action=allow

After installing the ACU and HP Management Page on both my Windows Core server and a standard windows server, I still couldn't make a complete remote connection to my windows core server to see the ACU or run diagnostics. I kept getting a timeout error. I then found a blog where they suggested it was an SNMP trap issue. I then went into my SNMP trap service properties on my Standard windows server and under the Security tab I checked the 'Allow SNMP Traps from any host' radio button. Restarted the SNMP trap service and was able to remotely connect to my Core server via the webpage. Hope this helps anyone else having the same problem

If you don't see ACU on SMH at all, you need to enable it, using either “cpqacuxe.exe -setup” (interactive) or “cpqacuxe.exe -install-service && cpqacuxe.exe -start-service” (command-line).

If you see ACU on SMG but receive the error message telling you that “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” — then you need to edit “hpacu.cfg” and change “REMOTEACCESS=DISABLE” to “REMOTEACCESS=ENABLE”, then restart “Array Configuration Utility” service.
