@cali IMO, ideally I'd like to run my storage infra with no extra bits and pieces, just storage appliances + SAN fabircs. The 3Par's SP is currently SPOF (single point of failure) and a hard dependency really. So, my answer to your questions - I want to have '0 SPs' =) I understand that currently the SP has got more than one functionality, and right now I'm after 'call home' feature. I'd rather see an appliance being capable to send callhome messages back to vendor on its own, and not depend on another infrastructure piece. It is not a SPOF, because the Storage still run fine without the SP. And it is only a VM. If the SP is included in the Storage, who will notify if the Storage have no Power?

I like this SP-VM. I can Stage a lot of Software there, have Rebuild Files and so on. Much more flexible as an dumy On-Board Solution. I told HPE that I prefer to have one VM that Services the SPOCC (may be for 2 or more 3PAR) and also the SSMC. If the ask me: Should we include SP and SSMC on the Controller? I will answer, NO, hold the Software Stack on the Controller as smal as possible.

HPE have had similar functionality in the past with on board management and call home, the issue is it lacks flexibility and scalability. The SP/VSP provides much more than basic call home features and more will be added in the future. Although a neat and low cost solution if you're reliant on relatively lightweight embedded hardware then that adds a barrier to features and adoption between hardware models and generations. Embedding the device or service can also has an affect on serviceability. Reset / Service Tools Canon Pixma Mx338 more. BTW if it doesn't call home it will trigger an overdue alert at HPE and they'll let you know.

Connecting to a virtual Service Processor. Installazione Stampante Canon Pixma Ip 2000 Installer. The OVF file (VSP_4.1_VMware_ESXi_5.ovf) is located on the DVD included with storage system. Download this to computer then perform the following procedure. Use these procedures when installing a HP 3PAR Service Processor to an existing rack.
