You can follow below steps to generate ADU report on a production ESXi host without rebooting the server to access Array Configuration Utility. I have tested this on a HPE DL360 Gen9 server with VMware ESXi 6 installed. If you have used a customized ESXi version from the HPE site to install ESXi, it contains drivers and packages/tools/utilities to manage and monitor the hardware.
If you have not used an ESXi version customized for HPE servers,
to install Smart Storage Administrator follow steps listed later in the
document.
