VMware, Inc. 5

System Requirements (HPE 3PAR StoreServ) 2Before installing and configuring the Management Pack for HPE 3PAR StoreServ, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

vRealize Operations (vROps) Requirements HPE 3PAR StoreServ Requirements

Version(s) vRealize Operations 7.x or 8.x

(Advanced or Enterprise editions)

HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage Array with the following:

n 3PAR Web Services API (WSAPI), versions 1.5.3 - 1.6

Important The WSAPI must be enabled on your specific StoreServ array to enable communication with the Management Pack. See: Enabling the HPE 3PAR StoreServ WSAPI.

Important CPU metrics are not available from API versions prior to version 1.6.

Connection vROps hostname or IP address

3PAR StoreServ Array hostname (or IPv4 address)

Port: Default HTTPS port is 8080. Default HTTP port is 8008.

Credentials N/A 3PAR StoreServ Arrayuser name and password

Note The least privileged user (LPU) must be assigned the browse role. See:Assigning the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Least-Privileged User (LPU).

This chapter includes the following topics:

n Enabling the HPE 3PAR StoreServ WSAPI

n Assigning the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Least-Privileged User (LPU)

n Adding an SSL Certificate to the vROps Truststore (HPE 3PAR StoreServ)

Enabling the HPE 3PAR StoreServ WSAPI

Before you can collect performance data from your HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage system, you must enable the HPE 3PAR Web Services API (WSAPI) server.

Check the state of your HPE 3PAR WSAPI server (and enable it, if necessary) by running the commands outlined below.

1 Log in to the StoreServ CLI as an administrator:

# ssh <administrator account>@<SP IP Address>

VMware, Inc. 6

2 Check the state of your WSAPI server:

# showwsapi

Example Output:

3 If the WSAPI server is disabled, you can start it by running:

# startwsapi

4 If HTTP or HTTPS is disabled, you can enable one of them by running:

# setwsapi -http enable

- or -

# setwsapi -https enable

What to do next

Assigning the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Least-Privileged User (LPU)

Assigning the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Least-Privileged User (LPU)

The Management Pack for HPE 3PAR StoreServ requires a least-privileged user (LPU) with the browse role assigned to it. Make sure this user is in place prior to Creating a Credential (HPE 3PAR StoreServ) for the Management Pack.

Note When creating your user, you may choose to monitor all domains or a single domain. See your specific HPE 3PAR StoreServ Administration Guide for details.

The browse role contains the following permissions:

Right Right Descriptions

password_checkown Check a user's own password

password_setown Set a user's own password

sshkey_remove Remove users public SSH keys

sshkey_set Set the public SSH key for a user

task_wait Wait for task completion

user_setown Set a user's own properties

vv_update Remove old virtual copy and create a new virtual copy of a volume

Important All 3PAR roles have read access, unless otherwise specified.

What to do next

Chapter 3 Installing the Management Pack (HPE 3PAR StoreServ)

Adding an SSL Certificate to the vROps Truststore (HPE 3PAR StoreServ)

For added security, we recommend adding an SSL certificate to the vROps truststore for your HPE 3PAR StoreServ host server.

Note Different levels of security can be configured in the Management Pack. The least secure configuration is to set the SSL Config Advanced Setting to No SSL. The next level of security is to set SSL Config to No Verify, and the Management Pack will accept all SSL certificates. For the highest level of security, you can set SSL Config to Verify, and the Management Pack will have to verify the SSL certificate on your vROps system. See: Creating an Adapter Instance (HPE 3PAR StoreServ).

To add the SSL certificate to your vROps truststore:

1 Obtain the SSL certificate for your HPE 3PAR StoreServ host server from your Internet browser. Export the certificate as an X.509 Certificate (PEM).

2 Copy the certificate to your vROps machine.

3 Use ‘ssh’ to log in to the vROps machine as the root user, then run the following command:

Linux:

$VCOPS_BASE/jre/bin/keytool -import -alias <product_alias> -file /tmp/<certfile> -keystore “$VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS/user/conf/ssl/tcserver.truststore” -storepass <truststore_password> -trustcacerts

Windows:

%VCOPS_BASE%\jre\bin\keytool -import -alias <product_alias> C:\path\to\certfile -keystore “%VCOPS_DATA_VCOPS%\user\conf\ssl\tcserver.truststore” -storepass <truststore_password> -trustcacerts

Important The <truststore_password> is generated by vROps and is located in/storage/vcops/user/conf/ssl/storePass.properties. Copy the password from thessltruststorePassword= field and paste it in the <truststore_password> placeholder.

Parameter Descriptions:

n -alias is a unique name for each key that you add (per host)

n certfile is the location where the cert file was saved

4 Run the reboot command to re-start the vROps machine for the changes to take effect.


VMware, Inc. 8
