Smart Array P440ar no status messages on HP ProLiant ML350 Gen9

[DHerberts]

The client recently had the Smart Array P440ar controller replaced about 2 months ago.  The client is complaining of slowness issues.  The one yellow flag I'm seeing so far is that there are not status messages in the Smart Storage Administrator.   I would think it should show something good or bad.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

In such scenario's I would first update the P440ar firmware and SSA utility.

Thanks for the clarification,  I did see the SSA software but it says it is for Gen 10 and Gen 11 and my server is a Gen9 which I didn't find one for that.

Hi,

From the SSA link, you need to choose your server model, it will show which version is compatible and which is not.

Thank You!

@Suman_1978 The SSA software is uptodate.   Will updating P440ar firmware break a production system,  is this updated from windows or some pre-boot environment?
