administer the system must also reside on the same private network segment. A private topology requires all of the following: • A static IP address for the storage system • Two Ethernet connections from the storage system to a private network segment • A minimum two Ethernet connection from the SP to the private network segment, if there are more than two nodes • A static IP address for the SP • At least one management station on the private network segment Service Processor Connectivity The SP is used to provide remote error detection and reporting, and to support diagnostic and maintenance activities involving the storage system. HP uses the data collected by the SP to maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade any HP 3PAR storage equipment on the customer site. To perform these activities, the SP must communicate with HP Central or a local service provider. The connection between the SP and HP Central or a local service provider can be made by using the customer network and the Internet. Connections using the customer network pass through a customer's firewall. When a designated management workstation resides on the same network as the SP and is configured to access the SP, a customer has the option to block external communications at any time. The SP needs to be on the same subnet as the storage system.
