CompCU (Dell Compellent Command Utility)
Dell Compellent has available (for download) a java-based command utility (CompCU) that can perform
most of the functions that can be performed from the GUI. This tool allows for the scripting and
automated integration of SAN tasks between the HP-UX operating system and the Dell Compellent
Storage Center. CompCU can be used to script common administrative tasks that can tremendous time
savers and provide a consistent framework for managing volumes and replays. If you decide to obtain
and use this utility, this section should help. This section below is not intended to be a comprehensive
representation of all CompCU functions, but meant as an initial demonstration and offer insight into
the sort of tasks that CompCU can accomplish.
