Configuration Information
Step 5 - Choose Service Processor Implementation
The HP 3PAR Service Processor monitors the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 and enables remote monitoring and remote servicing of the
array. The key capabilities of the Service Processor is to:
Enable rapid, proactive response to issues
Provide a secure communication channel between the customer's data center and HP 3PAR Central for:
Remote Online Software Upgrade; upgrade software with no application disruption
Remote Diagnostics; key diagnostic information maintained centrally on a historical basis
Remote Serviceability; provides fast predictive response and remediation
Each HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 requires its own Service Processor. The Service Processor functions as the communication interface
between a customer's IP network and HP 3PAR Central by managing all service-related communications. The Service Processor
leverages the industry-standard HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) protocol to secure and encrypt data communication.
Virtual Service Processor
The Service Processor can be deployed either as a virtual Service processor or a physical Service Processor. A virtual Service Processor
(VSP) is included free with the 3PAR Base Operating System. The virtual Service Processor can be installed on a VMware system that is
provided by the customer before installation that meet the following specifications:
VMware vSphere 4.1 and above
Server listed in VMware Compatibility Guide and with the following features
1GB RAM (minimum for the vSP Virtual Machine)
320GB free disk space
DVD ROM or DVD RW
1Gb Ethernet port
The customer must provide any hardware required to host the remote support software when deploying a Virtual Service Processor.
For scheduled service calls, the customer shall make the Virtual Service Processor available to HP for remedial activities at the agreed-
upon time. The customer is responsible for maintaining the appropriate HP 3PAR Remote Support Technology with a secure
connection to HP and any passwords required to access the local network and Virtual Service Processor. The customer is responsible
for providing all necessary resources in accordance with the HP 3PAR Service Processor Release Notes in order to enable the delivery
of the service and options. Please contact a local HP representative for further details on requirements, specifications, and exclusions.
Physical Service Processor
If a physical Service Processor is desired, order the following product:
The physical Service Processor is a dedicated storage appliance located within the storage rack providing close proximity to the HP
3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage. The physical Service Processor is fully supported and maintained by HP Services. The physical Service
Processor has serial port connectivity that provides maintenance access for trouble shooting capabilities. If a VMware server is not
available to run the virtual Service Processor, the physical Service Processor is the alternative choice for remote monitoring and
validated local key manager, or optional FIPS validated external key manager.
A data encryption license (LTU) is required to enable encryption on the array. One
encryption license is required for each encrypted array.
Once encryption is enabled on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, it cannot be
disabled.
The local key manager is included in the HP 3PAR OS. There is not a separately
orderable part number for the local key manager.
(NOTE: Virtual SP storage must not reside on the array it is managing.)
