Enable the HP P4000 VSS Hardware Provider on the Cell Manager

Once the VSS Hardware Provider has been installed, you need to enable it by editing a configuration

file on the Data Protector Cell Manager.

On the Data Protector Cell Manager, edit the vssproviderstab_info file, and add the

following line

-name "LeftHand Networks VSS Provider" -guid {acef7bd9-c49b-435a-bb6c-

bc3bab91fda5} -type 3

The following is an example of the file after it has been edited (with the added line in red):

-name "hpEVA VSS Hardware Provider" -guid {21e5ab69-9685-4664-a5b2-

4ca42bddb153} -type 1

-name "hp XP VSS Hardware Provider" -guid {eebf0522-cee9-44ef-9060-
