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 the following:
◦ HP 3PAR Cluster Extension Software documentation available at http://
h20000.www2.hp.com. Click 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 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 HP
3PAR InForm Command Line Reference. 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 must
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 3.1.2.
NOTE: After you install and configure Matrix recovery management at the Local Site, you must
manually failover 3PAR remote copy groups to the Remote Site before attempting to configure
install and configure Matrix recovery management at the Remote Site.
For 3PAR periodic (asynchronous) remote copy, the manual failover action will not synchronize
the data in the remote copy group volumes. To prevent data loss, synchronize the remote copy
groups before performing stop and failover operations on the remote copy groups.
Creating and installing a User Defined storage adapter
Matrix recovery management provides a User Defined storage adapter interface specification to
enable one-step Matrix recovery management failover capability for storage types that are supported
by Matrix OE but not yet integrated with Matrix recovery management.
Overview
Matrix recovery management can be configured to invoke storage replication management
commands for nonintegrated storage when various storage configuration or failover operations
