HPE Smart Storage Administrator

The HPE SSA is a configuration and management tool for HPE Smart Array controllers. Starting with HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers, HPE SSA replaces ACU with an enhanced GUI and additional configuration features.

The HPE SSA exists in three interface formats: the HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. Although all formats provide support for configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are available in only one format.

Some HPE SSA features include the following:

• Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension, assignment of online spares, and RAID or stripe size migration
• Provides diagnostic and SmartSSD Wear Gauge functionality on the Diagnostics tab
• For supported controllers, provides access to additional features.
