			Verify everything works by listing all the available controllers:
			ssacli ctrl all show

			The drives in each controller slot can be shown:
	ssacli ctrl slot=0 pd all show		ssacli ctrl slot=0 pd all show
	~~This will show all the~~ drives ~~in the first controller slot (ther is only one in the chassis, I think)~~

== SmartArray P410i ==
=== Smart Storage Administration ===
The ssa utility provides a nice GUI for managing the drive arrays in the DL380G7 ... but it comes with a heavy cost in terms of software that must be installed. Beyond the '''ssa''' package that must be installed, the use requires that firefox is installed and displayable from the local machine. Given that the systems do not run in graphics mode, this means that you need to make sure that the X11 DISPLAY veriable is set properly to tunnel the result back to a graphical workstation.

After installing the repository above, install the packages:
yum install -y ssa firefox xauth
... or ...
apt install -y ssa firefox-esr xauth
Be warned -- the firefox install alone grabs over 100 dependent packages ...

After installing everything, run the SSA package in local mode:
ssa -local

This will start a background process and then launch firefox pointing at that process, which listens on a random high port number. This is a very poor situation, but the tool itself is very nice and allows (as far as I can tell) do everything to configure the controller and attached disks and arrays.

For a quick status that can be put in a regular status check (cron.daily or crontab), use the '''ssacli''' command:
yum install ssacli
... or ...
apt install ssacli

ssacli ctrl slot=0 pd all show summary
This will show all the drives in the first controller slot (ther is only one in the chassis, I think)
