Utilities and features
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.
For more information about HPE SSA, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
Automatic Server Recovery
ASR is a feature that causes the system to restart when a catastrophic operating system error occurs, such
as a blue screen, ABEND, or panic. A system fail-safe timer, the ASR timer, starts when the System
Management driver, also known as the Health Driver, is loaded. When the operating system is functioning
properly, the system periodically resets the timer. However, when the operating system fails, the timer expires
and restarts the server.
ASR increases server availability by restarting the server within a specified time after a system hang. You can
disable ASR from the System Management Homepage or through UEFI System Utilities.
USB support
Hewlett Packard Enterprise server s support both USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 ports. Both port types support
installing all types of USB devices (USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0), but might run at lower speeds in specific
situations:
•
USB 3.0 capable devices operate at USB 2.0 speeds when installed in a USB 2.0 port.
•
In UEFI Boot Mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot environment
before the operating system loading for USB 1.0, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 speeds.
•
In Legacy BIOS Boot Mode, Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides legacy USB support in the preboot
environment before the operating system loading for USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speeds. USB 3.0 ports can be
used with all devices in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode but are not available at USB 3.0 speeds in the preboot
environment. Standard USB support (USB support from within the operating system) is provided by the
OS through the appropriate USB device drivers. Support for USB 3.0 varies by operating system.
