SSA version differences

LesRMed — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 20:58:45 GMT

If I lauch SSA from the BIOS during system boot, it's showing version 2.60.18.0. Going through iLo or the System Management Homepage I have version 4.15.6.0. As such, I can't do anything with the SSA configuration from the boot screen because it says my arrays were configured with a newer version. How can I update the BIOS version to match the iLo and Management version?

You need to update Intelligent Provisioning.

What server model?

I updated IP to version 2.82.9 (the lastest I could find). That updated to BIOS version of SSA to 3.30.14.0, but that's still lower than what iLO and Homepage are showing version 4.15.6.0. Is there a later IP from Gen 9 that I just can't find? Am I just chasing my tail for something that doesn't matter?

few way to use SSA .

1. The IP mode with F10 button.

2. HPE website also have offline SSA iso image, you could download it and use iLO load virual CD mode to boot to SSA GUI.

3. I use WinPE iso image, after it boot up, install the SAS controller driver and SSA software also could do some configuration.

plus another option:

boot from a current SPP and start SSA within.
