HP Smart Storage Administrator
HP SSA is a configuration and management tool for HP Smart Array controllers. Starting with HP ProLiant
Gen8 servers, HP SSA replaces ACU with an enhanced GUI and additional configuration features.
HP SSA exists in three interface formats: the HP SSA GUI, the HP SSA CLI, and HP SSA Scripting. Although
all formats provide support for configuration tasks, some of the advanced tasks are available in only one
format.
Some HP SSA features include the following:
• Supports online array capacity expansion, logical drive extension, assignment of online spares, and
RAID or stripe size migration
• Suggests the optimal configuration for an unconfigured system
• Provides diagnostic and SmartSSD Wear Gauge functionality on the Diagnostics tab
• For supported controllers, provides access to additional features.
For more information about HP SSA, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/hpssa).
Option ROM Configuration for Arrays
Before installing an operating system, you can use the ORCA utility to create the first logical drive, assign
RAID levels, and establish online spare configurations.
The utility also provides support for the following functions:
• Reconfiguring one or more logical drives
• Viewing the current logical drive configuration
• Deleting a logical drive configuration
• Setting the controller to be the boot controller
• Selecting the boot volume
If you do not use the utility, ORCA will default to the standard configuration.
For more information regarding the default configurations that ORCA uses, see the HP ROM-Based Setup
Utility User Guide on the HP RBSU Information Library (http://www.hp.com/go/rbsu/docs).
For more information about the storage controller and its features, select the relevant controller user
documentation on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/smartstorage/docs).
To configure arrays, see the HP Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the HP website
(http://www.hp.com/go/smartstorage/docs).
ROMPaq utility
The ROMPaq utility enables you to upgrade the system firmware (BIOS). To upgrade the firmware, insert a
ROMPaq USB Key into an available USB port and boot the system. In addition to ROMPaq, Online Flash
Components for Windows and Linux operating systems are available for updating the system firmware.
