SP Control/Status Functions

The following sections describe various control functions and status checks that you can perform using
the SPMAINT interface.
NOTE:
Enhanced security features on the 3PAR StoreServ storage and the 3PAR Service Processor prevent
support for network address translation (NAT) between the SP and the 3PAR array.
NOTE:
The 20 , 21 , and 22 menu options on the 1–SP Control/Status menu cause a return to the SPMAINT
main menu if the number combinations for these options are entered (for example, 1.20, 1.21, or 1.22). To
avoid this, select each menu option one at a time.

Stopping and Starting System-Related Processes

This feature allows you to stop and start the spevent and spcollect processes for a particular system.
It may be useful as a diagnostic procedure to stop then start the system-related processes if you are
having problems with the SP communicating with the system.
Unlike what occurs in maintenance mode, the stopping of system-related processes does not attempt to
limit or accept events that can occur while system-related processes are stopped. When the processes
are restarted manually or as a result of restarting the SP, all pending collected data are transferred to
3PAR Central or an 3PAR Authorized Service Provider.
NOTE: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you do not leave the system-related processes
stopped for prolonged periods of time, as the system event log can roll.
To stop or start system-related processes using SPOCC:
