1.7.8.1 Validating HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage SSL certificates on SRA 4.1
HP 3PAR StoreServ enables management and validation of SSL certificates by the host and client
applications to establish a secure connection.
HP 3PAR CLI and HP 3PAR OS versions 2.3.1 MU5 P35 and 3.1.1 MU3 P27 support a self-signed
2048-bit RSA SSL certificate for HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.
After upgrading to HP 3PAR OS/CLI versions 2.3.1 MU5 P35 or 3.1.1 MU3 P27, SRA 4.1 requires
that you accept and validate the HP 3PAR StoreServ Server SSL certificate. This is required to establish
a secure connection and perform the operations related to HP 3PAR StoreServ. If you do not accept
the certificate, SRA will not function.
To accept the certificate on SRA 4.1, perform the following:
1. Navigate to Windows Environment Variables and add a new system variable with the following
details:
• Variable Name — TPDCERTDIR.
• Variable Value — <User specified directory path>.
2. Restart the VMware Site Recovery Manager service.
3. Launch HP 3PAR CLI and enter the login credentials to connect to HP 3PAR StoreServ.
The CLI Server Certificate details are displayed.
4. Enter yes to connect to HP 3PAR StoreServ.
