Operations 55
• <target> is a controller or all controllers.
• <file=filename> designates the target file in which the diagnostic information is saved.
• [ris=on|off] determines whether RIS information is or is not included. The off value is provided for
backward compatibility and is ignored.
• [ssdrpt=on|off] specifies to generate or not generate the Smart SSD Wear Gauge report. The
default is off.
• [xml=on|off] outputs diagnostic information in formatted XML. The off value is provided for
backward compatibility and is ignored.
• [zip=on|off] compresses the output to a zipped file. Default behavior is uncompressed. The off
value is provided for backward compatibility and is ignored.
Example commands
ctrl all diag file=c:\allcontrollers.zip
ctrl slot=4 diag file=c:\ctrl_slot4.zip
ctrl ch="mybox" diag file=mybox.zip ssdrpt=on
Erasing a physical drive
Syntax:
<target> modify [erase erasepattern=zero|random_zero|random_random_zero]
where the target can be any valid physical drive.
To stop an erase process at any time, enter the stoperase command.
Example commands:
=> ctrl slot=3 ld 2 modify erase erasepattern=zero
=> ctrl slot=4 ld all modify erase erasepattern=random_zero
=> ctrl slot=3 ld 2 modify stoperase
Rescanning the system
A rescan detects devices that have been added to the system since the previous rescan or since the HP SSA
CLI was started, whichever is more recent.
Syntax:
Use the word rescan directly at the HP SSA CLI prompt, without any target device or parameters.
Example command:
=> rescan
Entering or deleting a license key
Some advanced configuration tasks (available only on certain controller models) can be performed only after
software is installed on the controller and a license key is registered to activate the software.
Syntax:
<target> add [lk=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx]
where the target is any valid controller. The hyphens are optional.
To delete a license key, use a standard delete command but use the license key (not the controller) as the
target:
<target> delete
