Configuration tools
HPE Smart Storage Administrator
HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on Smart Array controllers. It exists in three interface
formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for
configuration tasks. Some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.
The diagnostic features in HPE SSA are also available in the standalone software HPE Smart Storage
Administrator Diagnostics Utility CLI.
Starting with HPE SSA and HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers and server blades, HPE SSA is accessible both
offline and online:
• Accessing HPE SSA in the offline environment
IMPORTANT: If you are updating an existing server in an offline environment, obtain the
latest version of HPE SSA through Service Pack for ProLiant before performing configuration
procedures.
Using one of multiple methods, you can run HPE SSA before launching the host operating system. In
offline mode, users can configure or maintain detected and supported ProLiant devices, such as
optional Smart Array controllers and integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features
are only available in the offline environment, such as setting the boot controller and boot volume.
For more information, see "Accessing HPE SSA in the offline environment" in the HPE Smart
Storage Administrator User Guide.
