New to the HP Array Configuration Utility? Me too, so I did some Googling and found an awesome cheat sheet. I don’t want to steal any credit from its original authors, but I do think it should be reposted for archival. I’d like a copy of it for my own reference, so I decided to toss it here on Binary Impulse so others might stumble across it.
Here’s the original article: http://www.datadisk.co.uk/html_docs/redhat/hpacucli.htm

hi… how to print out details in HPSSA? already tried | out-file but it didnt work.
I believe HPSAA is different than HPACUCLI. The HPACUCLI utility is being deprecated.
What command are you running and what is the issue with the out file?
Thank you For your list of commands. Very useful.
