HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for VMware - Manual (Page 6)

The plug-in also contains a software component that acts as a vSphere Storage API for Storage
Awareness (VASA) provider in the vSphere environment. HP 3PAR Management Plug-in and
Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere provides its own web servers.

HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere allows you to manage Recovery Sets
(also called as Virtual Copies) of VMs and Datastores. It is comprised of the following four
components:
•
TpdVmWebService
•
RMWebAccess Library
•
RMVMware Admin Tool
•
RMVMwareCLI
TpdVmWebService
TpdVmWebService is a RESTful Web service, which is deployed as a Windows Service. The major
functions of Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere are implemented with this module. These
functions are:
•
Provides a custom Web server to deliver plug-in application Web pages. The vCenter Servers
are configured with the address of this Web server during plug-in registration.
•
Maps Virtual Machines and Datastores to underlying HP 3PAR virtual volumes.
•
Creates, browses, deletes, and mounts Recovery Sets created on Virtual Machines and
Datastores.
RMWebAccess Library
NOTE: RMWebAccess Library is deployed as a Windows component dll file and is installed
as part of Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere.
Similar to the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) and HP 3PAR Management Console, the
RMWebAccess Library is used for interacting with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System array.
The RMWebAccess Library does not use HP 3PAR OS CLI but instead interacts with the InServ Tpd
TCL Service directly using secure network connections.
RMVMware Admin Tool
The RMVMware Admin Tool provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for administering Recovery
Manager for VMware vSphere registration with the vCenter server. This tool also includes HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage System credential management, HP 3PAR VASA Provider configuration, and
Remote Copy paring configuration.
NOTE: Host Explorer is not associated with RMV from version 2.5 onwards. If required, you can
install Host Explorer as a separate package.
