What’s New in the Service Processor

This release includes:

• Secure Network Mode - Allows secure service communication between the Service Processor

(SP) and HP 3PAR Central, enabling secure diagnostic data transmission and remote service

connections. The remote operations feature may not be compatible for all systems.

• CPMAINT - Maintenance utility accessed via an SSH connection, which provides a range of

administrative Secure Service Agent functions not available through the SPMAINT interface.

• The default phone number for modem-connected sites has changed. It is no longer a tollfree

number. Upgrades will not affect previous settings.

• In Secure Network Mode, only a customer user ID (3parcust) can manipulate the firewall.

• SPOCC - FRU serial number, which is the same as the MAC address, now appears at the

bottom of the SPOCC home page. The MAC address is the hardware address of the Ethernet

adapter.

• The following have been added to the SP Control Menu:

1.1 SP Version - No longer lists the installed RPMs. Instead, meaningful content on SP

and InForm OS versions and patches is now displayed.

been added for setting the geographical location needed for improved modem control.

Mode when in SP Mode.

◦

◦ 2.6 Test Public Network - A new menu item has been added to run a network test.

• When running in Secure Network Mode, the Secure Service Agent can only be managed

using the cpmaint user ID. This ID is controlled by the customer.
