HP Array Configuration Utility 46
You can make an isolated change of just one configuration parameter on one device.
For VMware ESXi 5.0, ACU CLI works similarly to the Command mode mentioned. However, slight
differences exist, requiring you to run ACU CLI through the VMware vSphere esxcli command-line utility. For
more information about using HP ACU CLI for ESXi 5.0, see ACU CLI release notes or the HP website
(ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p414707558/v68034/hpacucli-9.0-24.0.noarc
h.txt).
Opening the CLI in Console mode
The syntax of the command required to open the ACU CLI in Console mode depends on the operating system
that you are using.
• For Microsoft® Windows®, enter the following text:
C:\Program Files\Compaq\Hpacucli\Bin\hpacucli.exe
Alternatively, click Start, and select Programs>HP System Tools>HP Array Configuration Utility CLI>HP
Array Configuration Utility CLI.
• For Linux, enter the following text:
[root@localhost root]# hpacucli
After you have entered Console mode in either operating system, the screen displays the following message
and console prompt:
HP Array Configuration Utility CLI 7.15.17.0

Type "help" for a list of supported commands.
Type "exit" to close the console.

The remaining examples in the ACU CLI section of this guide are described as if entered in Console mode.
Opening the CLI in Command mode
To use Command mode, identify the appropriate ACU CLI command ("The <command> variable" on page
47). Then, add the command to the end of the text line that is used for opening the CLI in Console mode (on
page 46).
The following examples use help as the command:
• Using Microsoft® Windows®:
C:\Program Files\Compaq\Hpacucli\Bin\hpacucli.exe help
• Using Linux:
[root@localhost root]# hpacucli help
The remaining examples in the ACU CLI section of this guide are described as if entered in Console mode.
CLI syntax
Whether entered in Command mode or Console mode, a typical ACU CLI command line consists of three
parts: a target device, a command, and a parameter with values if necessary. Using angle brackets to denote
a required variable and plain brackets to denote an optional variable, the structure of a typical ACU CLI
command line is as follows:
<target> <command> [parameter=value]
