Virtual Service Processor

Deploying the Virtual Service Processor

You can deploy the VSP on VMware by importing an OVF file or import into Hyper-V using a script. The
following sections describe each procedure.
The Virtual Service Processor is only supported with the 3PAR StoreServ 7000 and 8000 Storage
systems. The 3PAR StoreServ 10000 and 20000 can only be managed with a physical service processor.
CAUTION:
• Do not install the VSP on a host that is using storage from the same StoreServ 7000 array as the
SP manages. Doing so may lead to the inability to properly manage the array when connectivity
to the storage is unavailable. Provision the VSP on a VMware or Hyper-V server, and make sure
that the VSP uses the local boot disk of the assigned VMware or Hyper-V server and does not
boot from the StoreServ 7000 LUNs.
• VMware vMotion, Microsoft Hyper-V Live Migration, and Microsoft Hyper-V Quick Migration are
not supported. Do not use vMotion, Live Migration, or Quick Migration to migrate the VSP from
one physical server to another. Using these applications may cause communication failure and
interrupt system service.
For information about the system requirements and installation process for Microsoft Hyper-V, see the
Hyper-V Getting Started Guide:
