11 Service Processor Initialization
The SP supports all actions required for maintenance of the system. The SP provides real-time,
automated monitoring and remote access to HPE 3PAR Support in order to diagnose and resolve
potential problems. A system can include either a VSP or physical SP.
Use the following table as guidance for setting up a specific type of SP.
Action Type of Service Processor
See “Connecting to a Physical Service Processor” (page 96) . Physical service processor (SP)
See “Connecting to a Virtual Service Processor with VMware ESXi”
(page 90) .
Virtual service processor (VSP)
Connecting to a Virtual Service Processor with VMware ESXi
VSP supports VMware ESXi versions 4.1 and later.
WARNING! Do not install the VSP on the same 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage system, because
it might lead to the inability of properly managing the array when connectivity to the storage is
unavailable.
Provision the VSP on a VMware server and ensure that the VSP boots from the local disk of the
assigned VMware server, not from the 3PAR StoreServ 8000 LUNs.
CAUTION: VMware vMotion is not a supported application. Do not use vMotion to migrate the
VSP from one physical server to another. Using vMotion might cause communication failure and
interrupt system service.
Prerequisites for Using a Virtual Service Processor
Before you connect to a VSP, review and complete the following tasks:
•
dev comment: This item corresponds to this customer advisory, “3PAR Virtual Service
Processor for Hyper-V — Installation May Fail If the Hyper-V Server Data and Time Are Not
Current”, at http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpesc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04816365
Ensure that the ESXi time and date are properly set, either through the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server or manually through the ESXi console. Setting the correct date and time ensures
VSP real-time monitoring and access.
•
Verify that both the VSP and the 3PAR StoreServ Storage system are on the same subnet.
•
Verify that the VMware vSphere client is available before deploying the VSP OVF file. Access
your ESXi server to download the VMware vSphere client or see the VMware website:
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads
NOTE: Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open standard for packaging and distributing
virtual machines or software.
•
Verify that the HPE 3PAR VSP software DVD is available.
