Rather than using a connection portal to connect to HP 3PAR Central, an SP in Secure Network Mode requires the following for connection: • HP 3PAR Secure Service Agent The HP 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) facilitates communication between the SP and Collector server. Communications are done with HTTPS. For additional information about the SSA, see "Secure Service Agent Overview" (page 10). • Administered communication policies using HP 3PAR Policy Server. 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. The following figure illustrates the SP-to-HP 3PAR Central relationship in Secure Network Mode: Figure 1 SP-to-HP 3PAR Central Relationship in Secure Network Mode • For information about SPOCC, see "SPOCC Overview" (page 8). • For information about SPMAINT, see "SPMAINT Overview" (page 9). SP Mode Overview NOTE: If the SP is running in Secure Network Mode (including A-class users), this section does not apply. SP mode enables communication between an SP and the HP 3PAR connection portal server located at HP 3PAR Central. The server provides software updates and Service Processor Onsite Customer Care (SPOCC) service tools applications. In SP mode, the Service Processor (SP) and any connected system is supported and maintained using the SPMAINT utility.
