hpacucli is a HP commandline tool to configure hp smart array controllers online.
A amd64 package using i386 libraries can be found here http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/psp/pool/non-free/

This binary works fine on 2.6 kernels but not on 3.1. Apparently the tool determines the kernel version and cannot cope with the 3.1 version.

Here you may find more information:

We might need some setarch functionality.

I can confirm that the process is looking for /dev/cciss/c0d0/cciss when stracing:
 strace -f hpacucli 2> log
Although I am not convinced that this is the problem.

Without this tool any changes to the array configuration requires a reboot and entering the bios !
