SP Mode Overview

NOTE: If the SP is running in Secure Network Mode, this section does not apply.
SP mode enables communication between an SP and the 3PAR connection portal server located at 3PAR
Central. The server provides software updates and SPOCC service tools applications. In SP mode, you
use the SPMAINT utility to support and maintain the SP and any connected system.
The following figure illustrates the relationship between SP and 3PAR Central in SP mode.
