Both SSA and the SSA CLI need sg driver(scsi generic) to access RAID Controller in Linux. Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.1 and later does not load sg driver automatically. You should load the driver and type 'modprobe sg'
before running SSA or SSA-CLI.
To use SSA in the online environment, obtain the executable files from NEC Corporate Website
