Save/Register Svp Credentials In Pa - HPE XP7 User Manual

IMPORTANT:
• You must log on to PA as an administrator or a user with administrator privileges to perform the
above-mentioned tasks. However, the administrator privileges are not required to manage the
custom groups and the fabricated LDEV records.
• For an XP7/P9500/XP24000 Disk Array, the IP address of the management station is also
registered with the array SVP.
• For an P9500/XP7, it is recommended that you maintain separate SVP login credentials, which
you can use for outband mode of configuration data collection.
• On a few occasions, the SVP IP address registration can fail for an array, due to the following
reasons:
◦ The SVP is offline or locked by another user
◦ The IP address does not belong to the selected array SVP
• If you upgrade PA from v6.4.2 or later versions, and the SVP registration data already exists for
the XP24000 array, it is automatically available in the newer version of PA when the PA Tomcat
service starts. So, the SVP registration process need not be repeated. If the upgrade fails for
some reason, the SVP registration data is still available in the existing version from where you
had planned the upgrade.
• The registration process may take some time. After you provide the array IP address, and click
Register, wait till PA displays a confirmation that the registration is complete.

Save/Register SVP credentials in PA

Procedure
1. From the HPE XP7 Performance Advisor main menu, navigate to PA Settings.
2. In the Register/Save SVP Credentials pane, click Edit.
3. From the Array list, select the array for which you want to register/save the SVP credentials.
4. In the Array IP Address, type the SVP IP address of the disk array.
5. In the SVP User Name and SVP Password boxes, type the user name and password respectively.
6. To save the credentials, click Save Credentials.
The SVP IP address, user name, and password are saved in PA database. PA also uses these
credentials to validate the connection with the specific disk array.
NOTE: On a few occasions, the SVP IP address, user name, and password are not saved. It
might be because the SVP is offline. Wait for a few minutes and try again.
7. You must first save the credentials first, and then register. To register SVP credentials, click Register.
The SVP IP address that was saved is also registered with the management station.
PA automatically uses the SVP IP address every time you initiate an outband configuration data collection
for the selected XP disk array.
