Hp smart storage administrator hpe ssa for windows 64 bit

Иногда возможностей конфигурационной утилиты, встроенной в RAID-контроллер, не достаточно.

Например, когда требуется изменить размер страйпа массива. Сделать это можно через HPe Array Configuration Utility из установленной операционной системы. Что делать, собранного массива, еще нет и OS ставить попросту некуда? Поможет инструмент Service Pack for Proliant, включающий в себя средство управления дисками.

И так, начнем. Монтируем образ Service Pack или вставляем диск либо флешку, ждем завершения процесса инициализации оборудования:

Выбираем «Interactive Firmware Update», соглашаемся с лицензионным соглашением:

На следующем экране выбираем HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA):

А вот и утилита:

Контроллер P411 сигнализирует о проблеме:

Сообщение гласит о том, что контроллер не видит ни одного физического диска. Действительно, на данный момент, к нему ничего не подключено. Переключаемся на контроллер p410i:

На этом контроллере два массива: raid1 2x72Gb дисков и raid0 (что, в данном случае эквивалентно прямому подключению) из одного SATA SSD носителя.

Доступные действия: удалить массив или подсветить физические диски. Удаляем raid0. Вместо SATA SSD вставляем пару SAS SSD и соберем массив на них. Есть возможность имитации «прямого подключения» через создание нескольких raid0 массивов (по количеству дисков):

Либо создать полноценный raid массив:

Также, здесь можно выбрать очередность загрузки:

В настройках кэша контроллера можно откючить кэширование для выбранных массивов, либо переключить настройки кэширования на запись, при отсутствующей или не заряженной батареи.

И, в завершении, можно изменить настройки контроллера, в частности — приоритет перестроения массива.

На этом, сей краткий обзор завершен.

The name of HP has always been one of the largest manufacturers of servers and storage equipment in the world, and as a result, the largest part of organizations across world, a large part of the server infrastructure and storage organizations, companies and even data centers are HP products. It is dedicated. If you are one of the System administrators who always try to get the most out of their equipment and facilities, you should have worked with HPE Smart Storage Administrator or HPE SSA; however, for those who might not have known this utility, I would say that with the help of this software, you can see the status of the Raid Controller and Logical Drives, as well as the disks on the Windows installed on the HP server, or make changes to the Raid of this Logical Drive, and a number of features that can be easily installed. You will get to know him.

But the main challenge began when the virtualization platform transformed all of the network’s infrastructure comprehensively, and given that the software was controlling and displaying these processes in direct communication with the Raid Controller; in fact, installing this software in Virtual operating systems were useless.

Of course, HP has made up for some of its weaknesses by making significant changes to the ILO and Bios bundles of its servers, but again, in order to access the good GUI, you must reset the server and import the software from the menu as The default ILO v4 is available on servers.

In this tutorial, I am going to introduce you to the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA) CLI for VMware, which covers almost 90% of the processes in the Windows software, except that you must use CLI commands Work with it.

By downloading your Hypervisor package at the bottom of the post and installing it, you can use the software with the instructions below.

After downloading the VIB package and storing it in the Datastore Server, install the package using ESXi Shell environment with this command.

 # esxcli software vib install -v <path> <filename.vib>

The installation process is exactly same like installing the ESXi update patche . Please note that if this package is fully installed, you must receive this message The Update Completed Successfully. During the installation process, you need to restart the hosts.

After the host restarts, login to ESXi Shell to ensure that the package is installed, enter this command (uppercase and lowercase letters are important) to verify installation.

# esxcli software vib list | grep hpe

To start working with this utility under CLI, you must first enter the following path.

./opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacli

And, according to your needs, run any of the following commands.

./opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli/bin/ssacl ctrl all show config
