How to Unlock the Full Features of the Smart Array P410i Controller
The Smart Array P410i Controller is a RAID controller that provides enhanced performance and reliability for HP ProLiant servers. However, some of its advanced features, such as RAID 6 and 60, are only available with a license key. This license key is no longer sold by HP, and many users are looking for a way to unlock the full potential of their controller.
Fortunately, there is a solution that involves using an evaluation license key that was originally provided by HP for testing purposes. This license key is valid for 60 days, but it can be extended indefinitely by changing the system date before installing it. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of the Smart Array Advanced Pack v.1.0 without paying anything.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Download the latest firmware and drivers for your controller from HPE Support.
- Install the firmware and drivers on your server.
- Reboot your server and enter the BIOS setup.
- Change the system date to a future date, such as 60 years ahead.
- Save and exit the BIOS setup.
- Boot into your operating system and launch the Smart Array Configuration Utility (ACU) or the Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) tool.
- Select your controller and click on License Management.
- Enter the following evaluation license key:
34T62-N84MB-7DQGY-G7XGT-YTQ63.
- Click on Apply License Key and confirm.
- Reboot your server and enter the BIOS setup again.
- Change the system date back to the current date.
- Save and exit the BIOS setup.
- Boot into your operating system and verify that your controller has all the advanced features enabled.
Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked the full features of your Smart Array P410i Controller. You can now create and manage RAID 6 and 60 arrays, as well as enjoy improved performance and reliability. Note that this license key is only for evaluation purposes and may not be supported by HP. Use it at your own risk.
