You can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding or removing your own certificates, either from a
management console directly attached to the server, or by remotely connecting to the server using the iLO Remote
Console.
You can configure Secure Boot:
• Using the System Utilities options described in the following sections.
• Using the iLO RESTful API to clear and restore certificates. For more information, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise
website ( https://www.hpe.com/info/redfish).
• Using the
secboot
command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to display Secure Boot databases, keys, and security
reports.
Launching the Embedded UEFI Shell
Use the
Embedded UEFI Shell option to launch the Embedded UEFI Shell. The Embedded UEFI Shell is a preboot
command-line environment for scripting and running UEFI applications, including UEFI boot loaders. The Shell also
provides CLI-based commands you can use to obtain system information, and to configure and update the system BIOS.
Prerequisites
Embedded UEFI Shell is set to Enabled.
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select Embedded Applications > Embedded UEFI Shell.

third-party UEFI tools, are not restricted.
3. If an administrator password is set, enter it at the prompt and press Enter.
The Shell> prompt appears.
4. Enter the commands required to complete your task.
5. Enter the
exit
command to exit the Shell.
HPE Smart Storage Administrator
HPE SSA is the main tool for configuring arrays on HPE Smart Array SR controllers. It exists in three interface formats: the
HPE SSA GUI, the HPE SSA CLI, and HPE SSA Scripting. All formats provide support for configuration tasks. Some of the
advanced tasks are available in only one format.
The diagnostic features in HPE SSA are also available in the standalone software HPE Smart Storage Administrator
Diagnostics Utility CLI.
During the initial provisioning of the server or compute module, an array is required to be configured before the operating
system can be installed. You can configure the array using SSA.
HPE SSA is accessible both offline (either through HPE Intelligent Provisioning or as a standalone bootable ISO image)
and online:
