6 Working with VASA Provider

The communication between HP 3PAR VASA Provider and vCenter server is a secure connection
based on SSL certificate and Windows credential. License is not required for using VASA Provider.
Before VASA Provider can be registered by the vCenter server, VASA Provider requires that you
extract the SMS certificate from vCenter server and install it to the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager
for VMware installed host to allow client certificate negotiation in the Transport Layer. For information
on extracting and importing the certificate, see

“Registering an SMS Certificate for the VASA

Provider” (page 30)

. After the SMS certificate is installed, you can register the Provider from the

vCenter server by clicking on the Storage Providers icon as shown below.
