NOTE:
• Any RAID configuration created for the HPE Smart Array MR controller is not available to HPE Smart
Array SR controllers.

HPE MR Storage Administrator
HPE MR Storage Administrator is a web-based application that enables you to monitor, maintain,
troubleshoot, and configure the HPE Smart Array MR controller. MR Storage Administrator helps you to
view, create, and manage storage configurations.
• Monitoring and Configuring: MR Storage Administrator enables you to monitor the controllers and
configure the drives on the controller. It displays the status of the controller cards, logical drives, and
drives on the controller. The device status icons notify you if there are drive failures and other events
that require your immediate attention. Email notifications about the status of the server are sent based
on your alert settings. The system errors and events are recorded and displayed in an event log file.
You can also import or clear foreign configurations.
• Maintaining: Using MR Storage Administrator, you can perform system maintenance tasks, such as
updating the controller firmware.
• Troubleshooting: MR Storage Administrator displays information related to drive failures, device
failures, and other issues. It also provides recommendations and displays contextual links, helping you
to locate the drives/devices that have issues and troubleshoot them. You can also download a report
of the devices and their configurations, properties, and settings and send it to Hewlett Packard
Enterprise Support for further troubleshooting.
