7 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. Before VASA Provider can be registered by
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 instruction on how to extract and import the certificate,
please refers to Chapter 3.4 Registering an SMS Certificate for the VASA Provider. After the SMS
certificate has been installed, you can register the provider from the vCenter server by clicking on
the Storage Providers icon as shown below.
