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

For supported controllers, provides access to additional features.
