Installing and running Smart Storage Administrator
--------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
SSADUCLI is distributed using Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) packages and
.deb packages for Debian.
If there is an older version of SSACLI installed on the system, please
use "rpm -e ssacli" to remove it first. Use "rpm -i <file name>" to
install the application.
Please type "man rpm" for other details regarding RPM.
NOTE: On Debian systems, a ".deb" package file can be installed using the
"dpkg -i ssacli.xxx.deb" command. The dpkg -r ssacli command
is used to remove the package.
The software resides in /opt/smartstorageadmin/ssacli and the executable
name is ssacli which is located in /usr/sbin.
For Debian 64 bit:
dpkg -i --force-architecture <file name>. ssacli requires the libunwind
bit package to be installed.
Running SSADUCLI:
Open a command prompt and change directory (cd) to the location
where SSADUCLI is installed. This is commonly /opt/smartstorageadmin/ssaducli/bin.
To generate a diagnostic report, enter the following command:
ssaducli -f adu-report.zip
To generate a SSD Wear gauge report, enter the following command:
ssaducli -ssd -f ssd-report.zip
More options can be found by "ssaducli -help".
Additional Notes
----------------
Both the diagnostic and SSD wear gauge reports are generated in compressed
(ZIP) format.
The diagnostic report output archive contains the following files:
* ADUReport.txt => Diagnostic report in text format
* ADUReport.xml => Diagnostic report in XML format
* ADUReport.htm => HTML viewer for diagnostic report
* report.checksum => checksum file
* SlotX.txt (SlotX.old) => Controller serial output log
To view the diagnostic report in a browser, extract the ADUReport.htm. Open
ADUReport.htm in the browser.
The SSD wear gauge report output archive contains the following files:
* SmartSSDWearGaugeReport.txt => SSD wear gauge report in text format
* SmartSSDWearGaugeReport.js => SSD wear gauge report in JSON format
* SmartSSDWearGaugeReport.htm => HTML viewer for the JSON wear gauge report
To view the SSD wear gauge report in a browser, extract the
SmartSSDWearGaugeReport.js, SmartSSDWearGaugeReport.htm files to a
directory (both files must reside in the same directory). Open
SmartSSDWearGaugeReport.htm in the browser.
