Setting up the virtual service processor connection with
Hyper-V: Process overview
Prerequisites
• Verify that you have the virtual service processor (SP) installation software on either a DVD or from an
email that was sent with a link to download the software, which might have gone to the email account
responsible for purchasing the storage system.
• Verify that you have administrative privileges and are a member of the Administrators group.
• Verify that both the SP and the storage system are on the same subnet.
• Verify that the host server time and date are properly set, either through the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) server or manually. Setting the correct date and time ensures virtual SP real-time monitoring
and access. If the host server virtual SP is set to a date older than the date in the virtual SP installation
package, the installation will fail. The time and date can be set manually through the Windows OS date
and time settings.
• Do not install the virtual SP on the storage system, because it might lead to the inability of properly
managing the storage system when connectivity to the storage system is unavailable.
Procedure
1. Complete Deploying the virtual service processor on a host with Hyper-V on page 44.

Deploying the virtual service processor on a host with Hyper-V

CAUTION: Do not install the virtual service processor on a host that is using storage from the same
storage system as the service processor manages. Doing so may lead to the inability to properly
manage the array if connectivity to the storage is unavailable. Provision the virtual service processor
on a Hyper-V Server. Ensure that the virtual service processor uses the local boot disk of the
assigned Hyper-V Server and does not boot from the storage system LUNs.
Prerequisites
• Windows Server 2012/2012 R2/2016 must have enough main memory to host virtual machines
configured with 4 GB of memory.
• The Hyper-V deployment installation file must be saved on your local drive.
