I have published some posts about HPE Scripting Tools for PowerShell to automating physical server preparation and deployment services. The tools helping administrators to deploying services on HPE servers faster than normal ways, also there is no additional costs, just buy a PowerShell book!
The scripting tools provides PowerShell cmdlets for configuring BIOS, iLO, OA and Smart Array. The tools are available for download as free tools on HPE website.
Scripting Tools for Windows
The smart array cmdlets are compatible with HPE Generation 10 and not all smart array adapters. Read the user guide document to find list of compatible smart array adapters.
The tools will help to configure smart array adapters on multiple servers very faster than normal ways or other automation tools. Of course, the tools is not comparable with HPE OneView.
