HP StorageWorks MSA500 G2 Storage System User Guide
NetWare Online Array Configuration Utility
(CPQONLIN)
The NetWare Online Array Configuration Utility, also called CPQONLIN, is an
NLM for configuring drive arrays without shutting down the storage system.
CPQONLIN also provides information about the status of drives attached to the
MSA500 G2 controller. It indicates drive failure, expansion, or waiting for
expansion or rebuild (queued). Before loading CPQONLIN.NLM, you must load
the appropriate device drivers: CPQRAID.HAM and CPQSHD.CDM.
CPQONLIN.NLM is located in the ProLiant Support Pack found on the
SmartStart CD and it is available on the support software CD that ships with the
storage system.
Using auto-configuration
If no logical drives are configured, a CPQONLIN auto-configuration wizard
appears and prompts you to select fault-tolerance information. CPQONLIN then
configures arrays optimally for the selected fault tolerance.
Creating a custom configuration
Custom configuration enables you to create arrays and assign fault tolerance one
array at a time. To custom configure an array:
1. Go to the Main Configuration View screen.
2. Highlight the controller, array, or logical drives to be configured.
3. Make a selection from the Options menu located on the right side of the
screen.
4. Use online help for completing configurations. The following sections
discuss CPQONLIN functions.
IMPORTANT: CPQONLIN supports SSP configurations; however, you
can also use ACU 7.10 (or later) offline to enable SSP configurations in
a NetWare environment.
