5 Working with VASA Provider

The communication between HP 3PAR VASA provider and vCenter server is a secure connection
based on SSL certificate and Windows credential. Before HP 3PAR VASA Provider can be registered
by vCenter server, VASA provider requires that you extract the SMS certificate from vCenter server
and install it to the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware installed host to allow client certificate
negotiation in the Transport Layer. For instruction on how to extract and import the certificate, see

“Registering an SMS Certificate for the 3PAR VASA Provider” (page 23)

. After the SMS certificate

has been installed, you can register the provider from the vCenter server by clicking on the Storage
Providers icon as shown below.
