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.
