HP Array Configuration Utility V6.40-11P09A is here!

The HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU) software for Smart Array controllers and the StorageWorks Enclosure family of products makes it easy to configure and expand your disk drive arrays. This web-based tool is very intuitive -- by using its Configuration Wizards, your array controller is set-up and ready to use in minutes! Plus, ACU is versatile: use it to locally or remotely configure your array controller, add additional disk drives to an existing configuration, or completely reconfigure your disk drive array. Additionally, innovative features such as Online Capacity Expansion, and RAID Level Migration allow you to change your array configuration and settings as your storage needs change.
