Overview
2.1
The InServ Storage Server Service Processor (SP) is a hardware device mounted in the storage
server rack. It is designed to provide remote error detection and reporting, and to support
diagnostic and maintenance activities involving InServs. In general, only one SP is required per
operating site. However, additional SPs might be required depending on the number of
storage servers and the customer network topology.
The first storage server installed at the operating site includes an SP installed in the same
cabinet as the storage server controller nodes.

The data collected by the Service Processor (SP) is used to maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade
the SP and storages servers at the operating site. Depending on the SPs connection mode, the
SP either communicates with a 3PAR Connection Portal or with the 3PAR Collector server.
During storage server setup, the SP can be setup in either SP mode or Secure Network mode. In
SP mode, the SP communicates with the 3PAR Connex server via a connection portal. In Secure
Network mode, the SP communicates with the 3PAR Collector server using 3PAR Secure Service
Agent software.
The connection between the SP and the connection portal can be made using either your
network and the Internet or a point-to-point connection with a modem. Connections that use
your network pass through your firewall, while connections that use a modem bypass the
firewall.
The 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) is a server-based software feature that enables the SP to
communicate with the Collector server. Unlike direct SSH connections to your SP, with the SSA
it is not necessary to open additional ports on your firewall since communications are
performed with HTTPS.
SP mode and Secure Network mode are discussed further in the following sections.
2.2 About SP Mode

SP mode enables communication between an SP and the 3PAR Connex server located at 3PAR
Central using a connection portal. The Connex server provides software updates, Service
Processor Onsite Customer Care (SPOCC) service tools applications, and access to resources such
as the Document Control System (DCS). In SP mode, the Service Processor (SP) and any
connected InServ Storage Servers are supported and maintainted using the SPMAINT utility.

Figure 2-1. The SP to 3PAR Central Relationship in SP Mode
When a designated management workstation sits on the same network as the SP and is
configured to access theSP, you have the option of external communications at any time using
the Customer Controlled Access (CCA) feature, which is accessible via SPMAINT.
For information about SPMAINT, see 2.4 SPMAINT on page 2.5.
For information about SPOCC, see 2.8 SPOCC Overview on page 2.8.

In Secure Network mode, the SP communicates with the 3PAR Collector server using the 3PAR
Secure Service Agent (SSA). Like the Connex server, the Collector server provides software
updates, access to service tools applaications such as SPOCC, and access resources such as DCS.
Rather than using a connection portal to connect to 3PAR Central, an SP in Secure Network
mode requires the following for connection:
3PAR Secure Service Agent - The 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) facilitates communication
between the SP and Collector server. Communications are done with HTTPS. For additional
information about the SSA, see 2.7 Secure Service Agent Overview on page 2.7.
About Secure Network Mode
2.3
Administered communication policies using either 3PAR Policy Manager or Customer

Controlled Access.
3PAR Policy Manager is a host application that admininsters the communication policies
between the SP and Collector server. For information about 3PAR Policy Manager, refer
to the 3PAR Secure Service Policy Manager Users Guide.
If you do not have Policy Manager, you can use the Customer Controlled Access feature,
which is accessible via SPMAINT to administer communication policies between the SP
and the 3PAR Collector server.
Secure Network mode provides access to both the SPMAINT and CPMAINT utilities. As with SP
mode, in Secure Network Mode, SPMAINT allows you to support and maintain the SP and any
connected InServs. CPMAINT allows you to support the SSA, the Collector server, and Policy
Manager.

2.4 SPMAINT
The SPMAINT utility is the primary interface for the support (configuration, maintenance, and
firmware update) of both the InServ Storage Server and its SP. The features of this utility are
divided into the following major categories:
Control of the SP.
Communications with 3PAR Central or a local service provider.
Setup and administration of local notification.
2.4.1 Accessing SPMAINT

SPMAINT allows you to affect the current status and configuration of both the InServ Storage
Server and the service processor. For this reason, only one instance of SPMAINT can be run at a
time on a given storage server.
CAUTION: Many of the features and functions available through SPMAINT can
adversely affect a running InServ Storage Server. To prevent potential damage to
the system and irrecoverable loss of data, do not attempt the procedures
described in this manual until you have taken all necessary safeguards and
solicited customer involvement as appropriate.
NOTE: Because the Service Processor is designed to support connections to

multiple InServ Storage Servers simultaneously, when using the SPMAINT
interface you will encounter selection menus that allow you to select a particular
storage server on which to execute SPMAINT functions.
To access SPMAINT:
1
Initiate a Secure Shell (SSH) session to establish a connection to your SP.
Enter your user name and password.
SPMAINT
2.5
2.4.2 The SPMAINT Interface

The SPMAINT terminal user interface is the primary user interface for the support of both the
InServ Storage Server and its Service Processor (SP).
The following information appears at the top of each SPMAINT menu:
SP serial number - The serial number uses the format SPXXXXX, where XXXXX is a 5-digit
integer.
Menu name - Menu names are not necessarily unique. Menus that are accessible from the
same menu often share the same name as the menu itself.
Vector key code - A vector key code identifies each menu, submenu, and many of the
screens available through SPMAINT. Use these codes to navigate quickly to a specific menu
or function.
Transfer media - The Transfer Media field indicates the current method for outbound
communications (for example, Ethernet).
Transfer status - The Transfer Status field indicates the status for the most recent data
transfer transaction.
2.4.3 Accessing the Interactive CLI

SPMAINT offers the interactive Command Line Interface (CLI) option, which enables you to
issue InForm CLI commands on a selected storage server, or execute commands directly on the
controller nodes.
To access the interactive CLI, enter 1.7 in the SPMAINT menu.
2.5 CPMAINT
The CPMAINT utility provides a range of administrative Secure Service Agent (SSA) functions
not available on the SPMAINT interface.
CPMAINT allows you to:
2.6
Change transport mode (Secure Network mode/SP mode).
Display the SSA configuration.
Test the connection to the 3PAR Policy Manager.
Test the onnection to the 3PAR Collector Server.
CPMAINT
Query the status of the SSA.
Reconfigure the 3PAR Policy Manager.
Reconfigure the 3PAR Collector Server.
Start/stop/restart the SSA.
2.5.1 Accessing CPMAINT Interface

To access the CPMAINT interface:
1
Initiate a Secure Shell (SSH) session to establish a connection to your SP.
Enter the user name cpmaint and your password.
2.5.2 The CPMAINT Interface

The CPMAINT terminal user interface is the primary user interface for the support of the 3PAR
Secure Service Agent, as well as a management interface for the 3PAR Policy Manager and
Collector server.

3PAR Secure Service Policy Manager is a host-based application, which allows you to set the
rules (policies) by which your Service Processor communicates with the 3PAR Collector server.
For complete information about Policy Manager, refer to the 3PAR Secure Service Policy
Manager Users Guide.

The 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) is a software application that resides on your Service
Processor (SP). SSA enables the communication between the SP and the 3PAR Collector server.
Unlike direct SSH connections to your SP, with the SSA there is no need to open additional
ports on your firewall since communications are done with HTTPS.
The 3PAR Secure Service Agent (SSA) is configured to communicate with the 3PAR Policy
Manager and one or more Service Processors within your network, as well as with Customer
Support at 3PAR Central. The Secure Service Agent serves as the centralized communication
point for all communications between your site and 3PAR Central. All diagnostic data transfers
and remote service connections established through the SSA are secure and controlled by your
Policy Manager Overview
2.7
network administrators. The SSA is configured for encrypted communication through the
Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) protocols.
2.8 SPOCC Overview

Service Processor Onsite Customer Care (SPOCC) is a suite of service tools applications with a
Web-based graphical user interface that is available to you for support of the InServ Storage
Server and its service processor. SPOCC provides a vehicle to review logs and files, to store
various types of support documentation, and to manually record storage server configuration
details not directly available from the storage server itself. SPOCC offers you a Web-based
alternative to accessing most of the features and functionality available through SPMAINT.
One important feature offered by SPOCC, but not available through SPMAINT, is the ability to
create subscription-based local notification lists. Local notification is a feature designed
primarily for those who want to be automatically notified of specific events or symptoms from
a particular storage server or operating site. SPOCC allows you to enable or disable local
notification and to manage how and when you are notified of important system events.
Because the SPOCC is a Web-based interface, it is possible to have several active SPOCC sessions
running at the same time, regardless of user privilege levels.
There are many tasks that can be performed using either the SPMAINT interface or the SPOCC
interface. Because the SPMAINT interface is the primary user interface available for the
support of both the InServ and its Service Processor (SP), this guide focuses on performing tasks
through SPMAINT. When a task cannot be performed through the SPMAINT, this guide shows
you how to perform that task using the SPOCC.
2.8.1 Logging in to SPOCC

NOTE: It is also possible to access the SPOCC through a management workstation,
a machine that has been defined in the SPs public firewall rules. One or more
management workstations are typically defined as part of the installation and
setup of the storage server and SP, as described in the 3PAR InServ Storage Server
Installation and Deinstallation Guides. See 3.2.2 Altering Firewall Rules on
page 3.3 for instructions on adding additional management workstation through
SPMAINT.
To log into SPOCC:

To access the SP Control FW submenu, select the following menu options from the SPMAINT
main menu:
3.2
Type 2 for Network Configuration and press ENTER.
Type 3 for Firewall Manipulation and press ENTER.
Type 1 for Display Firewall Status and press ENTER.
Setting Up the Network for the Service Processor
3.2.2 Altering Firewall Rules

It is also possible to use the SP Control FW submenu to add unique IP addresses to the two
logical network interfaces so it may access the Service Processor (SP). These defined
connections are nonvolatile and exist across restarts of the SP.
The two types of logical network interfaces are as follows:
The public interface is connected to the customers network, and is where the InServ
Storage Servers are located. It is also the means of connecting with a gateway to the
Internet.
The private interface is used by service providers for access to the SP.
There are two types of workstations that might need access to the Service Processor across the
firewall through these interfaces:
The management workstation is a host on the public network with a static IP address. This
management workstation is usually defined as part of the storage server installation and
setup, as described in the 3PAR InServ Storage Server Installation and Deinstallation Guides.
Management workstations enable you at the customer site to access the SP and storage
server from within the customer network.
The maintenance workstation is a host on the public network with a static IP address.
Maintenance workstations, when present, enable you to access the SPs and storage servers.
When adding additional management or maintenance workstations, the only protocols

allowed on these additional hosts are SSH and HTTP. Adding these hosts here opens ports 22
and 80 for connections from SSH and HTTP, respectively. These additions are persistent because
upon restart, they are automatically added to the firewall.
Displaying Firewall Status or Altering Firewall Rules
3.3

When using a CD to deploy a software update or InForm installation via the Service Processor
(SP), the CD needs to be mounted and unmounted.
To mount a CD-ROM:
1
Insert a CD into the SPs CD-ROM.
From the SPMAINT main menu, type 1 for SP Control/Status and press ENTER.
Type 9 for Mount a CDROM from the SP main menu and press ENTER.
When prompted, type y and press ENTER to mount the CD.
To unmount a CD-ROM:
Type 10 for Unmount a CDROM and press ENTER.
When prompted, type y and press ENTER to unmount the CD.
Remove the CD from the CD-ROM.

This feature allows you to stop and start the spevent and spcollect processes to a
particular storage server (InServ). It may be useful as a diagnostic to stop and then start the
InServ-related processes if you are having problems with the Service Processor (SP)
communicating with the storage server.
Unlike maintenance mode, stopping InServ-related processes does not attempt to limit or
accept events that can occur while InServ-related processes are stopped. When the processes
are restarted manually or as a result of restarting the SP, all pending events are transferred to
3PAR Central or a local service provider.
To stop or start InServ-related processes:
1
Type 4 for Stop InServ related Processes or 5 for Start InServ related Processes and
press ENTER.
3.4
Select the InServ to stop or start related processes and press ENTER.
Mounting or Unmounting a CD-ROM
When prompted, confirm the stopping of InServ-related processes.

Changing the Service Processor (SP) default route affects the network setting for handling
routing decisions to destinations not local to the Service Processor. The SP default route is the

5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the communication settings available through SPMAINT.
These settings enable you to control and monitor co mm un cations between the InServ
Storage Server and 3PAR Headquarters through the Service Processor (SP).
There are two methods for controlling communication between the InServ and 3PAR
HeadQuarters; Cu st mer Controlled Access and Policy Manager. Policy Manager is a optional
feature that requires a 3PAR Policy Manager license. See the 3PAR Secure Service Policy
Manager Users Guide for information on using Policy Manager.
3PAR Communication Settings
5.1

Customer Controlled Access (CCA), available through SPMAINT, allows you to limit the network
communication of external sources from or to the Service Processor (SP).
NOTE: To change CCA settings, you must be logged in as user cpmaint.
CCA has three settings:
BOTH (or bidirectional HQ communications) is the default position that allows SSH
communications outbound from the SP to transfer information back to the connection
portal, and inbound communications from the connection portal to SP ports 80 or 22,
enabling remote operations.
OUT (or outbound-only HQ communications) allows the SP to send data to the connection
portal through SSH, but blocks remote connectivity. Control sequences such as
acknowledgements are allowed in both directions in order to continue communication, but
incoming updates, patches, manually requested data, and so on are blocked.
OFF (or turn off HQ communications) blocks all communication between the SP and 3PAR
Central or a local service provider, both inbound and outbound.
CCA works the same whether the connection to 3PAR Central or a local service provider is
through the network or through a point-to-point modem connection. If the connection is set
up to go through the network and out through the Internet, you can also restrict or allow
transmissions with the network firewall.
5.2.1 Selecting the Settings

The default setting for CCA is BOTH. Using either of the other settings can limit maintenance
activities or possibly delay the resolution of problems. Consider the following trade-offs when
selecting a setting for the HQ Customer Controlled Access:
BOTH - This is the default setting. All transmissions between the Service Processor (SP)and
3PAR Central or a local service provider occur without operator intervention.
OUT -The SP can contact 3PAR Central or a local service provider to warn of problems, but
maintenance and troubleshooting must be handled by on-site technicians. Software
5.2
Customer Controlled Access
upgrades and fixes must be performed manually by inserting a CD-ROM into the SP. The
meantime to recovery will likely increase.
OFF- The SP cannot contact 3PAR Central or a local service provider when it detects an
anomaly, and support technicians cannot operate the SP remotely or download software.
Troubleshooting and maintenance must be performed by onsite technicians. Any files that
need to be sent to 3PAR Central or a local service provider must be sent manually by FTP.
Any software upgrades must be performed manually by inserting a CD-ROM into the SP.
The meantime to recovery will likely increase.
5.2.2 Changing the CCA Setting

NOTE: To change Customer Controlled Access (CCA) settings, you must log into
SPMAINT in as user cpmaint.
To change the Customer Controlled Access (CCA) setting:

This chapter describes how to set up and manage local notification, that requires you to use
the Service Processor Onsite Customer Care (SPOCC) interface. This chapter also includes
instructions on enabling local notification access, setting up local notification and managing
local notification records and user profiles. Some of these tasks, including managing local
notification records and user profiles, are not typically performed by service providers but are
described here because service providers have access to these tasks. You can direct other
administrative users to the 3PAR InForm OS Administrators Manuals for instructions on
managing local notification and user profiles.
The Service Processors local notification features enable you to request that they be notified
of important storage server events and alerts on a subscription basis. Notifications are sent
through Email to all subscribers, with each subscriber specifying up to three Email addresses.
When Real-time Alert Processing (RAP) forwarding is enabled, copies of all notification
messages sent to subscribers are automatically forwarded to 3PAR Central as well.
There are two types of local notification messages that you might receive: standard
notifications and grouped low urgency notifications.
Standard Notification Messages - A standard notification is a text-based Email message that

alerts you to an important event or alert generated by a storage server.
When you receive a standard notification Email message for a system event or alert, see the
3PAR InForm OS Messages and Operators Guide for information on understanding the
event or alert and for instructions regarding any corrective action that must be taken.
Grouped Low Urgency Notification Messages - A grouped low urgency notification is a textbased Email message that informs you of noncritical events generated by a storage server.
Low urgency notification messages are informational and do not typically require any
corrective action be taken. When a situation or event reported in a low urgency
notification message becomes urgent, a standard notification message is issued to alert
subscribers.
6.2
Before you can subscribe to local notification and receive notification Emails, local notification
access must be enabled. Enabling local notification access can only be done by an authorized
service provider. After local notification access is enabled, you can create and edit local
notification records and user profiles as described in the 3PAR InForm OS Administrators
Manuals.

This section describes how to enable local notification access and then guides you through the
initial configuration process for local notification. During this initial configuration, you have
the option of configuring sendmail, enabling RAP forwarding, updating site information, and
creating profiles and site notification records for up to three users.
6.1.1 Enabling Local Notification Access

To enable local notification access:
1
Log in to the SPOCC.
In the SPOCC menu, click Setup.
Under Notification Maintenance Utilities, click Enable Local Notification Access.
At this point, your local notification access is enabled.

If this is the first time enabling local notification access for this Service Processor, a local
notification configuration wizard menu appears. The following sections describe how to
perform the following tasks:
Configure sendmail.
Enter site information.
Create user profiles for up to three users.
If this is not the first time to enable local notification access for this service processor, the
Service Processor Workbench menu appears. To edit local notification configuration
settings, use the options available through the Service Processor Workbench menu.
Setting Up Local Notification
6.3
6.1.2 How to Configure Local Notification Settings During Initial Setup

The following instructions guide you through the initial configuration of local notification
settings using the menu that appears after enabling local notification access for the first time,
as described in 6.1.1 Enabling Local Notification Access.
To configure local notification settings later, see 6.2 How to Use Notification Maintenance
Utilities on page 6.5.
After enabling local notification access for the first time, you have the option of setting up
local notification from the Service Processor Enable/Disable Local Notification Access
menu as follows:
1
Under Configure Mailhost, provide the mailhost information as follows:

a
Type a mailhost IP address in the Mailhost IP Address field. This is the mailhost that
the Service Processor (SP) uses to send notification messages to users defined with this
menu.
Type a mailhost domain name in the Mailhost Domain Name field. This is the domain
name associated with the mailhost IP address (for example, 3pardata.com), not the
fully-qualified mailhost name (for example, mailhost.3pardata.com).
(Optional) To enable RAP forwarding, click ON. When enabled, RAP forwarding
automatically sends copies of the notification Emails to 3PAR Central.
Under the Setup Reporting Site Info option, provide the site information as follows:
a
In the Company/Site Name field, type the name of the company or customer site
name. If you do not provide a name, the name Customer is used by default.
(Optional) In the Site Number field, type a site number. If you provide a 3PAR site
number at this time, it can help clarify reporting, especially for local service providers. If
you do not provide a site number, 1 is used by default.
If necessary, use the Timezone list to select a time zone for the operating site. If you do
not specify a time zone, the time zone currently set on the SP is used by default.
Under User Profile/Site Notification Setup, create user profiles and notification records
as follows:
NOTE: User profiles and notification records can be added at any time.
6.4
Setting Up Local Notification
In the First Name and Last Name fields, type the first and last name of a user for the
purpose of creating a profile.
In the Email Address field, type the Email address for the user profile.
Use the Category list to select the type of user for this profile.
In the Company field, type the name of the company for this user profile.
When finished, click Configure Local Notification to save the new settings and create
the new user profile and site notification record.

On the SPOCC menu, click the Notify option to confirm that a site notification record
appears for each user profile you created.
NOTE: Email addresses can be updated or added by clicking the user name in the
notification record or by clicking the User Profiles button.

After the local configuration has been enabled, any authorized user can edit or add
configuration information using the Notification Maintenance Utilities menu available on
the Service Processor Workbench menu. Use the features available through the
Notification Maintenance Utilities menu to add or edit configuration information that was
provided during the initial set up of local notification.

Utilities menu to perform the following tasks:
Editing the global default shift pattern
Adding, editing, and deleting default prime shift exceptions for all user profiles
6.5.1 How to Use the Global Default Shift Pattern

The global default shift pattern is the default prime shift pattern that is applied whenever
your user profile does not have a specific prime shift pattern defined. For example, if you
delete all prime shift patterns associated with your user profile, the global default shift pattern
must be applied. You can edit the global default prime shift pattern but you cannot delete this
default or add additional defaults.
To edit the global default shift pattern that is applied when your user profile does not have
any prime shifts defined:
1
Under Notification Maintenance Utilities, click the Edit Default Shift and Shift
Exceptions option.
The Default Prime Shift Patterns for Local Notification screen appears.

Ending Date fields.
Use the Start Time and End Time pull downs for each day of the week to update the
shift start and end times as necessary.
Click Update Default Prime Shift to apply the new settings.
6.5.2 How to Use Prime Shift Patterns

The prime shift pattern defines the normal work pattern for you as a local notification
subscriber, as recorded in your user profile. For example, your prime shift pattern might be
Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Your prime shift pattern was defined when you
created your user profile.
6.5.3 How to Use Prime Shift Exceptions

A prime shift exception notes any deviations from your usual workday or workweek, as
defined by the prime shift. Prime shift exceptions for individual users override default prime
shift exceptions.
6.5.3.1 How to use Default Prime Shift Exceptions

Default prime shift exceptions are global overrides that modify prime shift patterns for all user
profiles. This feature might be useful for company holidays where no subscribers work a prime
shift. You can add as many default prime shift exceptions as needed. You can also edit and
delete these prime shift exceptions after creating them. However, because default prime shift
exceptions are automatically applied to all user profiles, both new and existing, in most cases it
is preferable to add prime shift exceptions to individual user profiles on a case-by-case basis, as
described in 6.5.3.2 Adding a Prime Shift Exception. Prime shift exceptions for individual users
override default prime shift exceptions.
6.5.3.2 Adding a Prime Shift Exception

Adding a default prime shift exception applies a new exception to prime shifts for all user
profiles. Prime shift exceptions for individual users override any default prime shift exceptions.
To add a default prime shift exception:

Local notification is a subscription-based activity that requires a user profile and a notification
record for each subscriber.
Your user profile includes basic information about you such as you company name, working
hours, and email addresses.
The notification record contains information about the operating site, the storage server or
servers being monitored, and date ranges. You can have multiple notification records.
Together, your user profile and notification record define how and when you should be
notified of system events and alerts.
How to Enable and Disabling RAP Forwarding
6.13

Before you can create a notification record and receive local notification messages, it is
necessary to create at least one user profile. In most cases, your initial user profile is created
when the local notification access is first enabled and configured. Use the features available
through the Notify bezel on the SPOCC menu to create additional profiles and to edit or
delete existing ones.

After one or more user profiles have been defined, you can use those profiles to create local
notification records. Depending on how local notification was initially set up, one or more
notification records might already exist on the Service Processor. Use the features available
through the Notify bezel on the SPOCC screen to create additional notification records and to
edit or delete existing ones.
There are three types of local notification records:
Normal - This type of notification record is for when you want to be notified of events and
alerts concerning a particular operating site or storage server.
Symptom - This type of notification record is for when you want to be notified of a
particular symptom concerning a particular operating site or storage server.
