Generating an ADU report (diagnostics) from within HPACUCLI for ESXi
5.0
The ACUCLI application contains the ability to generate a diagnostic report of the system and its
Smart Array storage configuration. The following steps are required in order to obtain an ADU
report from a remote machine running ESXi 5.0.
1. Obtain and install the HP Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear Gauge Utility:
a. Browse to http://www.hp.com
b. Click on Support & Drivers
c. Select Drivers & Software
d. In the search box, type HP Array Configuration Utility
e. Select the operating system of the client machine that will be used to remotely access the
machine running ESXi 5.0
f. Under the Software – System Management menu, proceed to download the HP ProLiant
Array Diagnostics and SmartSSD Wear Gauge Utility by clicking on it’s link.
NOTE: The desired version is 9.x or newer.
g. Install the Windows component or Linux RPM package onto the client machine
2. Note the location where the package has installed the included applications and then update
your system path to include this location.
3. The client machine used to access the remote ESXi 5.0 machine must also have the vSphere
CLI esxcli command line tool installed and must be accessible through the system path.
Ensure that the client machine location is included in the path.
4. Use the following tool and associated command-line parameters to perform the creation and
retrieval of the report:
hpaduesxi --server=<server_ip_address> --user=<username>
--password=<password> <targetfile.zip>
Example Usage:
hpaduesxi --server=10.12.132.5 --user=root --password=root.123
myreport.zip
The hpaduesxi application uses the supplied parameters to remotely obtain the report from your
target ESXi 5.0 machine and saves the data into the target zip file. The zip file can then be opened
with any third-party zip application or with the unzip command under Linux.
The hpaduesxi application also contains onboard help which can be obtained by typing hpaduesxi
with no parameters.
