[GSE]

Hello 

I'm managing  HP DL380 GEN9 server deployement. the final goal is to install ESX 6.5.

to do that I need to modify adapterType SmartHBA  Model=Smart HBA H240ar from  CurrentOperatingMode=RAID to CurrentOperatingMode=HBA to enable the pathtrough

and I don't want to change it manualy but in scripting way 

I use ilorest and python for script developement 

have you a solution to manage the smartarray, how modify settitgs in remote way

thank you

I'm not sure that option can be changed with ilorest, but can be scripted using hpssacli.   If you haven't yet you might want to look at the HPE Scripting Toolkit https://www.hpe.com/us/en/product-catalog/detail/pip.scripting-toolkit-for-windows-and-linux.5219389.html

• To switch between pass-through and RAID 0 modes on HPE storage controllers:

# esxcli hpssacli cmd -q “controller slot= modify hbamode=<on/off> forced”

• To create a single disk RAID 0 set: # esxcli hpssacli cmd -q “controller slot= create type=ld drives= raid=0"
