HP Smart Storage Administrator Diagnostics Utility CLI
About the utility
Formerly known as the Array Diagnostics Utility, the HP Smart Storage Administrator Diagnostics Utility CLI collects all possible information about storage devices in the system, detects all problems, and provides a detailed configuration report in .zip format.
After downloading and installing the software, you can run the utility as a CLI in an online environment. The functionality in this utility is mirrored in the diagnostics features of the HP Smart Storage Administrator, which can be run in an offline environment.
The utility generates two types of reports:
•Array diagnostic report
This report contains information about all devices, such as array controllers, storage enclosures, drive cages, as well as logical, physical, and tape drives. For supported solid state drives, this report also contains SmartSSD Wear Gauge information.
•SmartSSD Wear Gauge report
This report contains information about the current usage level and remaining expected lifetime of solid state drives attached to the system.
For more information, see "Reported information (on page 112)."
