HP Smart Storage Admin CLI (`ssacli`) installation and usage on Proxmox PVE (6.x)

Why use HP Smart Storage Admin CLI?

You can use ssacli (smart storage administrator command line interface) tool to manage any of supported HP Smart Array Controllers in your Proxmox host without need to reboot your server to access Smart Storage Administrator in BIOS. That means no host downtime when managing your storage.

CLI is not as convenient as GUI interface provided by BIOS or desktop utilities, but still allows you to fully manage your controller, physical disks and logical drives on the fly with no Proxmox host downtime.

ssacli replaces older hpssacli, but shares the same syntax and adds support for newer servers and controllers.

Installation

Resize root partition (or how to remove the default /home partition) on CentOS 7 online

This process requires that you are able to ssh OR log in locally using the root user account and that no services be running as users out of /home on the target machine.

The examples are from a default installation with no customization-you NEED to know what you're working with for volumes/partitions to not horribly break things.

By default, CentOS 7 uses XFS for the file system and Logical Volume Manager (LVM), creating 3 partitions: /,/home and swap.

NOTE: If you want to be sure that nothing is writing to /home you can either modify the host to boot into single-user mode OR try to use the systemctl isolate runlevel1.target command to switch (not tested! should work).

	# The idea is, we don't install certificates on WSL, instead we install them on
	# Windows and point the path at WSL Apache/Ngnix configuration file.
	# We use mkcert to generate certificates.

	# Install mkcert on Linux. Even though we don't generate certificate here,
	# I am installing this only to check the constant is properly set or not.
	# If you're Linux Ninja like my friend Bombay, you could do it without
	# This package for sure.
