HP 3PAR Service Processor Software 4.1.x Release Notes (QR482-96666)

6 Service Processor Software 4.1.0 MU2 Release
What’s New in the Service Processor
The SP 4.1.0 Maintenance Update 2 (MU2) release includes the previously released SP 4.1 patches
(P001 and P002) and Maintenance Update 1 (MU1), and it includes the following enhancements:
• After upgrading to SP 4.1 MU2, Service Processors that are configured in Secure Network
Mode (Axeda) will be automatically reconfigured to connect to new servers at HP.
The new servers’ host names and IP addresses are as follows:
◦ Collector Server:
– https://remote3par.houston.hp.com (15.201.225.95)
◦ Remote Support Connectivity Global Access Servers (GAS):
g4t2481g.houston.hp.com (15.201.200.205)–
– g4t2482g.houston.hp.com (15.201.200.206)
– g9t1615g.houston.hp.com (15.240.0.73)
– g9t1616g.houston.hp.com (15.240.0.74)
Before you perform this upgrade, make sure there are no firewall restrictions to these
servers on port 443. Firewall and/or proxy server configuration should be updated to
allow outbound connections from the Service Processor to the new servers.
CAUTION: Failure to confirm firewall settings may result in the loss of the file transfer.
• Starting with SP 4.1 MU2, all newly configured Service Processors (both physical and virtual)
will have a Service Processor ID (SP ID) that is based on the serial number for the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage system that is attached to the Service Processor. The SP ID will be 12
characters long and have the following format:
SP000+<seven-digit 3PAR StoreServ serial number>
For example, if the serial number of the StoreServ storage system that is to be attached to the
Service Processor is 1234567, the Service Processor SP ID will be SP0001234567.
