Create Logical Vulme using HPE SmartArray Cmdlets - problem

[Dario2]

I'm having problem with creating Logical Vulme using HPE SmartArray Cmdlets.

I already have 1 logical volume in RAID 1 with 2 480 disks.

I want to create 1 logical volume in RAID1 with 2 spare 960 SSD disks.

Do I have wrong command or syntax ? I don't receive any error.

Am I missing something ?

Any help would be great.

Here are my commands:

Hi,

Thanks for reply, but I don't have SSA CLI installed in my Microsoft Hyper-V server 2016.

Only SmartArray Cmdlets. Thats why I'm using Cmdlets.

How do I install SSA CLI ?

[SanjeevGoyal · Accepted solution]

Hello,

You can try as below.

Mapped over to the hyper-v \ c$, dropped current smart storage administrator *.exe from HP then installed the from the command line on hyper-v.

The location it installed was -program files\smart Storage Administrator. Within the SSA\bin folder, there is a ssaprefs.exe that allowed the management homepage to integrate with the storage administrator,

the default was disabled. Set to enabled and then logged back into HP management and was able to get the storage admin page.

If the issue doesn't resolve, I would suggest you to have a proper case be logged with HPE, and share the appropriate logs for further analysis.

I give up from SmartArray Cmdlets and installed SSA and it is working.

But I don't understand why they put this tool which isn't working...

Tnx.
