This guide is for Microsoft Windows, Linux (RHEL/SLES), Oracle Solaris (Sparc/x86), HP-UX, and
Helion administrators who are responsible for maintaining the operating environment and who understand the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system. Also, this guide provides reference information on the Command Line Interface (CLI) utility TpdHostAgent and VMTpdHostExplorer that permit management of HP 3PAR Host Explorer on hosts.
HP 3PAR Host Explorer
The HP 3PAR Host Explorer is a program that runs on a host connected to an HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage system. The Host Explorer is an agent that runs as a service on Windows and as a daemon on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and Helion operating systems. No license is required to use the HP 3PAR
Host Explorer.
The Host Explorer communicates with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage over an FC or iSCSI connection and enables the host to send detailed host configuration information to the HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage. The information gathered from the Host Explorer is visible for uncreated hosts and assists with host creation and diagnosing host connectivity issues.
When a host is created on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, unassigned WWNs or iSCSI names are presented to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. Without the Host Explorer running on the attached hosts, the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is unable to determine which host the WWN or iSCSI names belongs to and you must manually assign each WWN or iSCSI name to a host. With Host Explorer running, the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage automatically groups WWNs or iSCSI names for the host together, assisting with creating the host.
The Host Explorer collects the following information and sends it to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage:
•
Host operating system and version.
•
Fibre Channel and iSCSI HBA details.
•
Multipath driver and current multipath configuration.
•
Cluster configuration information.
•
Device and path Information.
Refer to
“Installing and removing HP 3PAR Host Explorer” (page 8)

“Verifying the installation of Host Explorer for VMware on Microsoft Windows Server” (page 12) .
•
To find out if the product is installed on Helion , see
“Verifying the installation on Helion ”
Verifying whether the Host Explorer process is running
•
To verify that the Host Explorer process is running, issue the TpdHostAgent status command.
•
In case of Host Explorer for VMware, issue the VMTpdHostExplorer status command.
Stopping the Host Explorer process
By default, the Host Explorer process starts at every reboot of the host.
•
If you do not want the process running on the host, issue the TpdHostAgent stop command.
•
In case of Host Explorer for VMware, issue the VMTpdHostExplorer stop command.
Starting the Host Explorer Process
•
To start the Host Explorer process, issue the TpdHostAgent start command.
•
In case of Host Explorer for VMware, issue the VMTpdHostExplorer start command.
Supporting Multiple HP 3PAR StoreServ Storages on a Single Host
The HP 3PAR Host Explorer reports the information it collects to every HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage attached to the host. If a HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is added or removed after the initial installation of the HP 3PAR Host Explorer, a refresh is needed.
•
To refresh the Host Explorer process, issue the TpdHostAgent refresh command.
•
In case of Host Explorer for VMware, issue the VMTpdHostExplorer refresh command.
The Host Explorer Enclosure Device LUN
When a host is connected to an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, an enclosure device with LUN ID
254 is automatically configured for the host. The HP 3PAR Host Explorer uses this enclosure device to exchange information about the host with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. The LUN with ID 254 acts as both a data LUN and an enclosure service LUN. You can use LUN ID 254 for any application with limited impact on performance. The level of impact on performance depends on the application.
14 Using the Host Explorer
The LUN with ID 254 is presented to the host even when no virtual volumes are exported to the host, or when the host is not configured on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
Supporting VMware with FC and iSCSI
The HP 3PAR Host Explorer for VMware supports VMware ESX Hosts connected to the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage with FC or iSCSI connectivity. No enclosure devices are presented to ESX Hosts.
HP 3PAR Host Explorer for VMware establishes the connectivity between the ESX hosts, and HP
3PAR StoreServ Storage using REST calls to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. Hence, it is recommended to ensure that the HTTPs port 8080, and Web services are enabled on the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage. If this approach fails to establish the connectivity due to reasons other than
StoreServ SSL Certificate Handshake issues, then SSH is used to establish the same if the SSH option is enabled on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
HP 3PAR Host Explorer for VMware collects the data of configured VCenters, and ESX Hosts through the APIs exposed by vSphere Web Services SDK. The collected data is transferred to HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage using TPD TCL through SSL Port 5783.
It is required to enable SSL port 5783 on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage when adding it to the configuration. It is recommended to enable the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage SSL port 5783 when transferring the collected data. If the port is not enabled, the HP 3PAR Host Explorer for VMware transfers the collected data through SSH.
NOTE: Ensure that the WSDL service is running in the ESX Hosts and vCenters.
The API calls performed by vSphere Web Services SDK are resource intensive. You might experience a high CPU usage for few seconds when these APIs are called during data collection process.
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Upgrades and Enclosure Devices
If you upgraded from a version of HP 3PAR Operating System (OS) released before 2.3.1, you must consider the following notes about LUNs with ID 254.
•
If you had a LUN with ID 254 before you upgraded the HP 3PAR OS, the host persona for the host is set to the Generic-Legacy persona number 6 during the upgrade process. The port persona number must be reset to Generic persona number 1 before the Host Explorer can communicate with the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
1.
Use the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) sethost –persona 1 <host name> command to set the host persona number to 1.
2.
Use the controlport offline command to take the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port the host is connected to offline.
3.
Use the controlport rst command to reset the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage port connected to the host.
Alternatively, if you reboot the host after resetting the persona number as described in step 1, the Host Explorer automatically discovers the enclosure device on LUN ID 254 and sends the information to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. For more information about
CLI commands, see the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator’s Manual.
•
If you add a host after you upgraded the HP 3PAR OS, the host persona number for the host must be set to 1. For more information about creating and modifying hosts, see the HP 3PAR
Command Line Interface Administrator’s Manual.
You can also use the HP 3PAR Management Console to configure and administer hosts connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storages. For more information, see the HP 3PAR
Management Console Online Help.
Supporting VMware with FC and iSCSI 15
NOTE:
•
While creating the Host on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage corresponding to ESX Hosts, it is recommended to set "VMWare" persona.
•
While creating the Host on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage corresponding to HP-UX Hosts, it is recommended to set "HPUX" persona.
NOTE: If you want to deploy the bare minimum Host Explorer software on the remote hosts using your own enterprise deployment tool, create an On Demand bundle which includes only the required files to perform the Host Explorer core functionality.
To create the On Demand Host Explorer bundle, install the Host Explorer software on the respective hosts and pull out the required files from the Host Explorer install location and create the On Demand bundle. You may need to create the separate On Demand bundle for the respective supported OS type. The On Demand bundle format could be of any file type like zip, tar etc. as supported by the enterprise deployment tool.
Files required in the On Demand Host Explorer bundle are shown in the table below:
Host Explorer Version
3.1.1
Operating System
Microsoft
Windows Server
Linux/Solaris/HP-UX
On Demand Bundle
TpdHostAgent.exe
TpdHostAgentSvc.exe
TpdHostInfo.dll
For command usage, see
(Binary Files) hagent tpd_hostinfo
TpdHostAgent
For command usage, see
Files in the bundle should be copied to the default Host Explorer install location.

Using Host Explorer for VMware GUI
Host Explorer can function accurately, if it is able to identify the vCenter server, or the ESX host to connect for information, and the name of the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage where exactly the information will be sent. All these functionaries can be configured through the graphical user interface which gets installed along with the product.
NOTE: HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, ESX host, and vCenter servers can also be configured using the
command.
It can be launched from the desktop HP 3PAR Host Explorer VMware(shortcut name), or by selecting the Start Menu > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard >HP 3PAR Host Explorer > HP 3PAR Host Explorer
