HP 3PAR storage setup notes
• When HP 3PAR Remote Copy replication is used, Matrix recovery management depends on
the HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software command line interface (CLI) to manage storage
replication. The HP 3PAR Cluster Extension CLI, in turn depends on the HP 3PAR Inform
Command Line Software. Both must be installed on the central management server where
Matrix recovery management is installed. For more information, see:
◦ HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software documentation available at: http://
h20000.www2.hp.com - click on Manuals, then go to Storage –> Storage Software –>
Storage Replication Software —> HP Cluster Extension Software.
◦ HP 3PAR Inform Command Line Software documentation available at: http://
h20000.www2.hp.com - click on Manuals, then go to Storage –> Storage Software –>
Storage 3PAR Device Management Software –> HP 3PAR InForm Software.
• You need an encrypted password file to manage storage replication on an HP 3PAR storage
system. An encrypted password file can be created by running HP 3PAR Inform command
line software commands. For more information see the setpassword command in the 3PAR
Inform command line software. The encrypted password file must be present in the STORAGE\
3PAR\conf directory where Matrix recovery management is installed. The encrypted password
file replaces the need for a user name, domain name and password required with other types
of storage management servers.
• The encrypted password file for both the Local Site and Remote Site Inserv storage servers
must be available on the CMS at each site and the name of the password file must be the
same on the CMS at each site.
• If you upgrade the HP 3PAR Inform command line software on the CMS with a software version
that is supported by Matrix OE and HP 3PAR cluster extension software, you will need to
modify a property in the Matrix recovery management properties file. Change the
INFORM_CLI_VERSION property in conf\hp_ir.properties where Matrix recovery
management is installed on the CMS. The default value of the property is set to 2.3.1.
