You'll need to install HP SSL and HP MGMTAGENTS beforehand. Then you have
a graphical interface. There is also a command-line tool: MCR msa$util
An alternative way would be to configure the array from the srm console
via ">>> run bios py?#" where "?#" is the number of the py device (PYA0 in 
most cases) of the controller.
