5 Configuring HP Storage Adapters
Configuring HP Storage Adapter for HP 3PAR StoreServ
You must configure the HP Storage arrays that need to be managed using SAP NW LVM in the
Configuration
→Infrastructure→Storage Manger section, by selecting HP 3PAR Storage Adapter.
Enter the following details in the Storage Manger section:
NOTE:
•
The HP 3PAR SMI-S secure port number must be 5989.
•
For the adapter to export and create hosts on the array, use superuser privileges for HP 3PAR.
•
Label—Each adapter imported into SAP NW LVM must have a label. Labels help to differentiate
the adapters logically.
•
URL—The URL of the installed HP Storage Provider.
◦ For example, if the HP Storage Provider is installed on the same server as that of SAP
NW LVM at port 3501, then the URL will be
https://:3501/ui_mgmtjsp .
NOTE: Enter username as admin.
•
Password—The password for the installed HP Storage Provider configured during the HP
Storage Provider installation.
•
vCenter host—The IP address or host name of the vCenter managing the virtual infrastructure.
HP Storage Adapter supports and manages the SAP instances running on the VMware Virtual
machines. This requires the adapter to have access to the ESX servers where the SAP instances
are running.
You can have multiple vCenter hosts configured in an HP Storage Adapter.
•
vCenter user—The username to connect to the vCenter.
You can have multiple user names added for the corresponding vCenters in HP Storage
Adapter.
•
vCenter password—The password to connect to the vCenter.
You can have multiple passwords added for the corresponding vCenters in HP Storage Adapter.
CAUTION: In some patches of SAP NW LVM 1.0 and 2.0, the password fields are not
masked when used as a set (an array of text fields). Hence, the passwords of the configured
vCenters are visible as plain text to any authorized user.
NOTE:
◦ If the managed SAP instances are physical servers, then it is not mandatory to provide
the vCenter host user ID and password.
◦ You can enter blank values when entering the non-mandatory fields, so that only the first
valid set (IP, username, and password) is matched.
◦ You can add the same credentials multiple times and only the first valid vCenter containing
the ESX will be used.
