HP Smart Storage Administrator, also abbreviated as HP SSA, is the set of utilities used to manage HP Raid controllers.

Linux

Get the Linux RPM package from https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX_d6ebba0f5cd642edace4648b9a. Alternatively, search online for 'hpacucli'

The package will be placed in /opt/compaq/hpacucli/bld/.

Troubleshooting

Replaced a drive, but it still shows as failed

Prior to the disk replacement, dmesg showed this:

hpsa 0000:03:00.0: scsi 1:0:7:0: removed Direct-Access     HP       EG1200FDNJT      PHYS DRV SSDSmartPathCap- En- Exp=0  

Replacing the disk didn't create a new message in dmesg as others have noted. The configs still show the physical drive as failed. 

# hpssacli ctrl slot=0 show config

# hpssacli ctrl slot=0 array B remove drives=1:7

Error: This operation is not supported with the current configuration. Use the
       "show" command on devices to show additional details about the
       configuration.
Reason: Array is transforming

Next thing to try is to reboot the server and check the RAID via the BIOS.
