Help needed with HPE SSACLI - add additional raid array.

$

So I am running 2 Windows Server 2016 servers (hyper-v) & Core server

 

Seems that the HPE Smart Storage Administrator tool does not work 100% with core server (only ssaprefs.exe seem to work for language settings).

 

Found this:

https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/smart-storage-administrator-and-hyper-v-2012-r2-core/td-p/6402079/page/3

 

Yet that dll will only make sure that the ssaprefs.exe can be started.

 

As alternative I have the SSACLI.

 

Type of Raid needed/wanted : RAID5

They are located physically in the following :

Physical Drive in Port 1I Box 1 Bay 20

Physical Drive in Port 1I Box 1 Bay 21

Physical Drive in Port 1I Box 1 Bay 22

Physical Drive in Port 1I Box 1 Bay 23

Physical Drive in Port 1I Box 1 Bay 24

 

Why the SSACLI --> So I don't have to boot from the ISO and thus have no downtime. (and the GUI not working).

 

If it would be easier to use the Powershell version of SSA it's also an option.

Its a new RAID5 array to be added as 3rd array (1x RAID1, and 1x RAID5 array already exists and was setup upon initial installation of this server)

 
If I look at the example it would need to be something like this:
 
CN01 ctrl slot=1 create type=ld drives=CN0:1:20-CN0:1:24 raid=5
How do I find out the name of the controller?
Examples:
("CN0" is a sample port name that may be different depending on the controller)
ctrl slot=1 create type=ld drives=CN0:1:1,CN0:1:2,CN0:1:3,CN0:1:5 raid=6
ctrl slot=1 create type=ld drives=CN0:1:1-CN0:1:6,CN0:1:9,CN0:1:10-CN0:1:12
raid=6
