VMware vCenter Server Login for HP 3PAR Virtual Volume and Recovery Set
management
HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere creates a
new vCenter Server role named HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Administrator upon plug-in registration.
The following restrictions apply for the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Administrator role:
•
All non-administrator users must be in this role.
•
If an administrator logs in as Administrator or DOMAIN\Administrator, the permission check
is skipped.
NOTE: For VM access, the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Administrator role must be provided
with access to all the domains. For Datastore access, the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Administrator
role must be assigned at the datacenter level.
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage certificate
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage enables management of SSL certificate, and enforces certificate
validation by the host and client applications to establish a secure connection. For information on
managing SSL certificates see, HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server User Guide.
Network ports used by HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software
for VMware vSphere
HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere uses the
following network port:
The network ports used by the HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager Software for
VMware vSphere are selected during installation of HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter Server.
To ensure that the same port number is used for RMV operation, you need to edit the required port
numbers during installation. For more information on the port numbers, see the HP Insight Control
for VMware vCenter Server Installation Guide.
NOTE: The TCP port numbers change based on the modules that you have selected during
installation.
Firewalls, if any, must be configured to allow traffic to these ports with the outbound connections
rule set to allow (default) for HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and Recovery Manager for VMware
vSphere to function properly.
Recovery Set management
NOTE: HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere is not functional without the HP 3PAR
Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere license. Additionally, the HP 3PAR Recovery Set license
is required for Recovery Set operation and the HP 3PAR Virtual Lock license is required for using
the volume retention policy. RMV will check for an existing HP 3PAR Virtual Lock license on the
storage system when a Recovery Set is created with retention is specified.
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere allows you to take LUN-level Recovery Sets of
Virtual Machines (VMs), Datastores and Remote Copy groups. A Datastore is created on one HP
3PAR volume, and a VM is created on one or more Datastores. During VM Recovery Set creation,
Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere will identify all the underlying HP 3PAR volumes and take
Recovery Sets simultaneously for all volumes to ensure consistency. Recovery Manager for VMware
vSphere manages this set of Recovery Sets as a single entity. Remote Copy Recovery Sets are
based at the Remote Copy group level (storage system), versus the Virtual Machine or Datastore
level (VMware perspective).
