the physical SP is required. If you choose a physical SP at the time of ordering, your storage system will
include a physical SP installed in the same rack as the controller nodes.
A physical SP has two physical network connections:
• The Management (MGMT) port requires a connection to the network to communicate with the storage
system.
• The Service port is for maintenance purposes only and is not connected to the network.
Virtual SP
A virtual SP is deployed as a virtual machine. For access to the virtual SP by an authorized service
provider, a network connection to the virtual SP is required. The virtual SP software is provided in an
Open Virtual Format (OVF) for VMware vSphere Hypervisor and self-extractable virtual hard disk (VHD)
package for Microsoft Hyper-V.
CAUTION: To ensure that the management of the storage system by the virtual SP is independent
of other host servers connected to the storage system, do not install the virtual SP software on a
host server that is also using storage from the storage system. The virtual SP must use the local
boot disk of the assigned VMware server and not boot from the storage system LUNs.
The HPE 3PAR Text-based User Interface
The HPE 3PAR Text-based User Interface (TUI) is a utility on the HPE 3PAR SP that enables limited
configuration and management of the SP and access to the HPE 3PAR CLI of an attached storage
system. The intent of the HPE 3PAR TUI is not to duplicate the functionality of the HPE 3PAR SP Service
Console interface, but to allow a way to fix problems that may prevent you from using the Service
Console interface.
The TUI appears when you log in to the Linux console opened from the VMware vSphere Client or
through a terminal emulator using SSH to a physical or virtual SP. Prior to SP initialization, you can log in
to the TUI with the user name admin and no password. To access the TUI after the SP has been
initialized, you will need to log in to the console with the admin user name and the password you created
during the initialization.
The SP ID and model are always displayed in the heading. Before the SP is initialized, the SP ID is
displayed as SP00000. After initialization, the actual ID assigned to the SP during initialization is
displayed.

Network and firewall support access

Before performing the service processor (SP) connection setup, ensure that there are no customer
firewall restrictions to the existing HP servers and the new HPE servers on port 443. Firewall and proxy
server configuration must be updated to enable outbound connections from the service processor to the
existing HP servers and the new HPE servers.
For a list of HP and HPE server host names and IP addresses, see Firewall and proxy server
configuration on page 38.
