Server Management Software

Do you need a quick and efficient method for the setup, configuration, and management of the storage controllers in your HPE ProLiant server?

HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA) offers a single interface that quickly sets up, configures and manages the HPE Smart Arrays controllers and the HPE SAS Host Bus Adapters (HBA). With HPE SSA, you can also configure the cryptographic features of HPE Secure Encryption, enable HPE SSD Smart Path and create different optimization and priorities associated with the drives and controllers.

It replaces the HPE Array Configuration Utility (ACU), and has an updated design for HPE ProLiant servers that enhances the storage experience. It will expose new features and functionalities for various Smart Storage initiatives as they become available.

Do you need to increase the performance of your storage system?

HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache is a controller-based, caching solution in a DAS environment that caches the most frequently accessed data ("hot" data) onto lower latency Solid State Drives (SSDs) to dynamically accelerate application workloads.

HPE SmartCache is hosted on HPE Smart Array Controllers and can be enabled on HPE ProLiant Gen10, Gen9, and Gen8 servers with Smart Array P-class controllers with 1 GB or larger Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC).

SmartCache is deployed and managed through the same management tool for HPE Smart Arrays—HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA).

Need to secure your server and remotely manage it? The HPE iLO Advanced license offers security and smart remote functionality without compromise for HPE ProLiant servers. This license includes the full suite of HPE iLO server management capabilities that offer users enhanced security, improved efficiency and ease of server management.
The Integrated Remote Console feature unlocked by this license lets you operate on your server from anywhere, anytime increasing productivity. It also unlocks all marque security features offered by HPE ProLiant servers such as directory integration and 2-factor authentication that complement the security features which are part of the base server offering. This license enables the complete group management capabilities provided by the HPE iLO Federation feature.
HPE iLO Advanced is available for HPE ProLiant, HPE Apollo and HPE Edgeline servers. HPE Synergy Compute Modules also include the HPE iLO Advanced capabilities, no license is needed.

Tired of installing agents on your servers to monitor them? With the HPE Agentless Management solution, the management software (SNMP and Redfish) operate within the HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) firmware instead of the host’s Operating System (OS) freeing up memory and processor resources on the host’s OS for use by server applications. No agents in the OS means no opening up networks ports reducing security threats, especially for those platforms that may interface directly to the Internet. With HPE Agentless Management in addition to monitoring all key internal subsystems (such as thermal, power, and memory), iLO sends SNMP management alerts directly to any Datacenter Information Management system such as HPE OneView, HPE System Insight Manager (SIM) etc., even with no host OS installed or running.

The optional HPE Agentless Management Service can collect and send specific OS and device information that cannot communicate with the iLO, to the iLO via the PCIe bus.

Troubleshooting server hardware issues taking too much time and information that could assist you in troubleshooting not captured? Myriad of tools and log files driving you crazy?
HPE Active Health System is an essential component of the iLO Management Engine portfolio. It is an industry-first technology that provides continuous, proactive health monitoring of over 1600 system parameters. 100% of configuration changes are logged for more accurate problem resolution. SmartMemory and SmartDrive devices log failure information to accurately document events and avoid inadvertent re-use of failed components. This enables customers to start problem analysis faster and spend less time reproducing or describing errors
For support, hand off the Active Health System log file to HPE support and get your issue resolution. You can also view the error information contained in the Active Health System Viewer by uploading your Active Health System file to https://infosight.hpe.com/app/login

iLO Amplifier Pack (Integrated Lights-Out) is an at-scale inventory and update management tool which enables customers with large Gen8, Gen9 , Gen10 and Gen10 Plus Hewlett Packard Enterprise server deployments to get rapid up-to-date inventory and automate firmware and driver updates. It also assists in manual and automated recovery of systems with corrupt firmware. It scales to thousands of servers reducing personnel and downtime and eliminates the need to create and manage customized scripts. It has an integrated discovery engine that identifies components that need to be updated on servers and takes care of inter-dependency issues. It also functions as an on-premise aggregator for HPE InfoSight for servers', collecting and securely transmitting data from the servers being monitored. It is currently available as a VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM appliance.
