Re: ProLiant DL360 Gen10 with Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Cache module status n/a
Is this the case
HPE SSD Smart Path is enabled by default when you create an array using SSD drives, hence the controller cache configuration is not available.

Re: ProLiant DL360 Gen10 with Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Cache module status n/a
I'm positive I ordered this fully SSD server with cache module. Same time I ordered another exact same server but with SAS drives it shows the cache module on that one

Re: ProLiant DL360 Gen10 with Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Cache module status n/a
Hello,
You are using SATA SSD hard disks in this server, not SAS SSD hard disk.
Please elaborate on your query apart from that if you have any other queries.
If you feel this was helpful please click the KUDOS! thumb below!

SolutionHi,
1. P408i-a SR Gen10 comes with 2GB built in Cache and no additional cache module
hence it may not list cache module status/serial number.
2. Second possible reason is Cache is disabled/Not configured for any logical drive, now
- Cache could be disabled if you dont have battery/capacitor present,
- Smart Path is enabled, or
- Cache is present but not configured for any logical drive, and "You are not using HPE Smart Cache"
Now, You should do following:
Verify whether you have battery/capacitor present.
If Smart Path is enabled and you do not want it then follow the steps below to disable it:
Enable or disable HPE SSD smart path
Open HPE SSA.
Select a controller from the Devices menu. The Actions panel appears.
Under Configure>Logical Devices, choose the array with logical drives.
Click Disable HPE SSD Smart Path.
Click Save.
Ensure that Cache is configured for logical drive [If you have not configured "HPE Smart Cache"]
Enter into SSA then check cache status and modify cache settings as below:
(F10->Smart Storage Administrator->Select P408i-a SR->Cache manager->conttroller cache->Modify caching settings->Select Logial drive for which you want to enable the cache)
Reboot the server and check the status.
Hope it clarifies!

Sudhir

Re: ProLiant DL360 Gen10 with Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 Cache module status n/a
Hi,
It basically allows direct path to SSD drives, bypassing firmware layer so you will get better read performance.
Please refer following old video, though its old but it will explain SSD Smart Path technology.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0nUnvj5xgU
also refer page 35 of
HPE Smart Array SR Gen10 User Guide
https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-a00019059en_us
Note:
There is a critical fixes in the latest controller firmware 2.65.
Hence its recommended to update the latest controller firmware also update the matching/latest driver as well.
Hope this answer all your question!
Regards,
Sudhir
