To access SPMAINT: 1. Add the hosts to the firewall or leave the firewall in Permissive mode. (Firewall settings can be changed on the 2.3 menu of SPMAINT.) 2. Initiate a Secure Shell (SSH) session to establish a connection to your SP. 3. Enter your user name and password. SPMAINT Interface Use the SPMAINT terminal user interface for the support of both the system and its SP. The following information appears at the top of each SPMAINT menu: • SP ID-The SP ID uses one of several formats: ◦ 7-character SP ID: The literal "SP" string (2 characters) + 5 digits (for example, SP09997). This ID format is used for legacy SPs. ◦ 12-character SP ID: The literal "SP000" string (5 characters) + the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 7-digit 3PAR serial number that is located on a label affixed to the node enclosure (DCN1). The label is on a tab on the back right of the enclosure near Power Cooling Module1 (PCM 1, the PCM on the right). For example, if the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 3PAR serial number is 1601234, the Service Processor ID will be SP0001601234. • Menu name-Menu names are not necessarily unique. Menus that are accessible from the same menu often share the same name as the menu itself. • Vector key code-A vector key code identifies each menu and submenu and many of the screens available through SPMAINT. Use these codes to navigate quickly to a specific menu or function. • Transfer media-The Transfer Media field indicates the current method for outbound communications (for example, Ethernet). • Transfer status-The Transfer Status field indicates the status for the most recent data transfer transaction. Accessing the Interactive CLI SPMAINT offers the interactive Command Line Interface (CLI) option, which enables you to issue commands on a selected storage system or execute commands directly on the controller nodes. To access the interactive CLI, enter 7 in the SPMAINT main menu. Policy Server Overview HP 3PAR Policy Server is an optional host application that administers the communication policies between the SP and Collector server. For information about HP 3PAR Policy Server, refer to the HP 3PAR Policy Server Installation and Setup Guide. Secure Service Agent Overview The HP 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) is a software application that resides on your Service Processor (SP). SSA enables the communication between the SP and the HP 3PAR Collector Server. Unlike direct SSH connections to your SP, with the SSA there is no need to open additional ports on your firewall, because communications are done with HTTPS. The HP 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) is configured to communicate with the HP 3PAR Policy Server and one or more SPs within your network as well as with Customer Support at HP 3PAR Central. The Secure Service Agent serves as the centralized communication point for all communications between your site and HP 3PAR Central. All diagnostic data transfers and remote service connections that are established through the SSA are secure and controlled by your network 10 Overview
