LUN Provisioning for Recovery Manager for VMware
This feature enables you to create virtual volumes based upon a storage system template or an
existing Datastore and export the virtual volumes to the vCenter managed ESXi hosts.
For more details about creating and managing virtual volumes and Datastores, see “Creating a
Virtual Volume from an existing HP 3PAR StoreServ template” (page 54)
NOTE: Only TPVV and CPVV provisioning are supported for this release.
NOTE: LUN provisioning does not require an RMV license.
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere allows you to manage Virtual Copies
of VMs and Datastores. It is comprised of the following four components:
•
TpdVmWebService
•
RMWebAccess Library
•
RMVMware Admin Tool
•
RMVMwareCLI
See “Virtual Copy management” (page 24) for additional information.
TpdVmWebService
TpdVmWebService is a RESTful Web service, which is deployed as a Windows Service. The major
functions of Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere are implemented with this module. These
functions are:
•
Provides a custom Web server to deliver plug-in application Web pages. The vCenter Servers
are configured with the address of this Web server during plug-in registration.
•
Maps Virtual Machines and Datastores to underlying HP 3PAR virtual volumes.
•
Creates, browses, deletes, and mounts Virtual Copies created on Virtual Machines and
Datastores.
RMWebAccess Library
NOTE: RMWebAccess Library is deployed as a Windows component dll file and is installed
as part of Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere.
Similar to the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) and HP 3PAR Management Console (IMC),
the RMWebAccess Library is used for interacting with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System
array. The RMWebAccess Library does not use HP 3PAR OS CLI but instead interacts with the
InServ Tpd TCL Service directly using secure network connections.
RMVMware Admin Tool
The RMVMware Admin Tool provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for administering Recovery
Manager for VMware vSphere registration with the vCenter server. This tool also includes HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage System credential management, HP 3PAR VASA Provider configuration, and
Remote Copy paring configuration.
NOTE: Host Explorer is not associated with RMV from version 2.5 onwards. If required, you can
install Host Explorer as a separate package.
