• Accessing HPE SSA in the oline environment
IMPORTANT: If you are updating an existing server blade in an oline 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 oline mode,
users can configure or maintain detected and supported devices, such as optional Smart Array controllers and
integrated Smart Array controllers. Some HPE SSA features are only available in the oline environment, such as
setting the boot controller and boot volume.
• Accessing HPE SSA in the online environment
This method requires an administrator to download the HPE SSA executables and install them. You can run HPE SSA
online after launching the host operating system.
For more information, see HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 Configuration Guide at the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
