Technical white paper
Page 3
Minimum System Requirements
The 3PAR Simulator requires a minimum of VMware ESXi 5.5 or above, or VMware Workstation 11 or later. The simulator configuration requires
deploying three VMs; two VMs simulating the cluster nodes, a third VM to simulate the enclosure and private network configuration to enable
communication between the three VMs. The simulator has not been tested on any other variations of virtual machines and it is not supported in
any other configuration that tested. It should be noted that the user can add additional resources but is not required unless simulating a RCIP
configuration as noted below.
The minimum system resources required for each VM are:
One virtual CPU (single core)
Three virtual NICs
2GB RAM (4GB is required for use in a RCIP configuration)
50GB disk space (full or thin-provisioned)
Installation and Configuration Summary
Setup of the 3PAR Simulator configuration will require completion of the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Cluster Nodes Installation – Involves installation of two VMs (sim_node0 & sim_node1) using the cluster node OVF package.
Enclosure Node Installation – Involves installing one VM (sim_esd) using the enclosure node OVF package.
Network Configuration – Involves creating a private network for communication between the three VMs. The network configuration varies for the
VMware ESXi Server and VMware Workstation setup, follow the instructions in the corresponding section of this guide.
Simulator configuration and bring up – Involves configuration of the cluster node VMs, enclosure node VM and bringing them all up to form the
storage system simulator.
Installation of the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Management Console (SSMC) 2.3 and 3PAR CLI application v3.2.2 MU4 (optional).
VMware ESXi Server Installation
Installing the Cluster Nodes
The cluster node (clus_node) package is included in the HP-3PAR-StoreServ-Simulator-3.2.2MU4.zip file. Extract the files to a folder on your
computer. The uncompressed file size of the clus_node package is ~ 6.4GB
Note
Each "Deploy with OVF template" operation in vSphere Client can take up to 30 minutes to complete with high speed LAN networking. It is highly
recommended that the installation is performed from a high speed network or local disk.
The cluster node installation steps are as follows:
Step 1: Unzip the cluster node OVF package
There are 3 VM files in the cluster node OVF package:
•
clus_node_template_3.2.2.MU4_field_mode.ovf
•
clus_node_template_3.2.2.MU4_field_mode -disk1.vmdk
•
clus_node_template_3.2.2.MU4_field_mode.mf

Network Configuration
Once the VMs have been deployed, the network configuration must be completed to connect them to the appropriate networks. The VMs are
configured with three vNICs and the network label is set to VMNetworkby default for all the three vNICs. The default configuration must be changed
as follows:
•
The first vNIC will be dedicated for use with management tools. It must be connected to a network allowing communication to the servers
running the HP 3PAR Management Console, remote CLI or client software accessing the CIM-API (SMI-S) or WS-API. Once configured, these tools
will connect to the 3PAR Simulator via the cluster IP address specified during the “Out of the Box” (OOTB) procedure.
(Optional)The second vNIC will be dedicated for use by Remote Copy if you plan on configuring two separate instances of the 3PAR Simulator to
leverage this capability. If Remote Copy is configured this interface must be connected to the Remote Copy network. This applies only to the
cluster nodes (sim_node0 & sim_node1) as the enclosure node (sim_esd) is not part of the Remote Copy network. The second vNIC in the
enclosure node (sim_esd) is unused and the network label can be left to the default VMNetwork.
The third vNIC must be connected to a private network connecting all three VMs (sim_node0, sim_node1 & sim_esd) with a virtual switch
(vSwitch). The virtual switch should not be connected to a physical adapter as the traffic will only be routed locally (assuming the VMs hosted on
the same ESXi) to allow communication between the three VMs in the 3PAR Simulator configuration. Follow the instructions below in Step1:
vSwitchconfigurationand Step2:ConnectthethirdvNICineachVMtothePrivateNetworkto set up the private network.

Network Configuration using VMware Workstation
Once the VMs are deployed, the network configuration must be done to connect them to appropriate networks. The VMs are configured with three
vNICs and the network label is set to VMNetworkby default for all the three vNICs. The configuration must be changed as follows:
•
The first vNIC (Network Adapter in figure 4) will be dedicated for use with management tools. It must be connected to a network allowing
communication to the servers running the HP 3PAR StoreServ Management Console, remote CLI or client software accessing the CIM-API (SMI-S)
or WS-API. Once configured, these tools will connect to the 3PAR Simulator via the cluster IP address specified during the “Out of the Box” (OOTB)
procedure.
(Optional)The second vNIC (Network Adapter 2 in figure 4) will be dedicated for use by Remote Copy if you plan on configuring two
separate instances of the 3PAR Simulator to leverage this capability. If Remote Copy is configured this interface must be connected to the
Remote Copy network. This applies only to the cluster nodes (sim_node0 & sim_node1) as the enclosure node (sim_esd) is not part of the
Remote Copy network. The second vNIC in the enclosure node (sim_esd) is unused and the network label can be left to the default VMNetwork.
The third vNIC (Network Adapter3 in figure 4) must be connected to a private network connecting all three VMs (sim_node0, sim_node1 &
sim_esd) with a Lan Segment for traffic to be routed locally, allowing communication between the three VMs in the 3PAR Simulator configuration.
Follow the instructions below in Step1:ConfiguringaLANSegmentand connectingvNICtotheLANSegmentNetworkto set up the private
network.
•
•
Step 1: Configuring a LAN Segment
To configure a LAN Segment:
Launch VMware Workstation
1.
Right-Click on sim_esd, select “Settings”
2.
3.
Click on “Networking Adapter 3” in the Hardwareframe
4. In the Network Connection frame, select LAN Segment
5.
6.
Click on the tab below that says “LANsegment”.A global LAN Segments Window will pop up
Click “Add” and enter a name for the LAN Segment
Example: Simulator
Ensure that the Network Adapter 3 is connected to the LAN Segment you just created by selecting it using the drop down menu (See Figure 4
below)
Click “OK”
7.
8.
Technical white paper
Page 8
Figure4VirtualMachineSettings-LANsegmentselectionforNetworkAdaptor3
Important
Repeat the above steps to connect Network Adapter 3 for both sim_node0 & sim_node1 to the LAN segment
Step 2: Configuring a management network.
In order to use the HP 3PAR StoreServ Management Console or 3PAR remote CLI on the system that is running VMware Workstation and hosting the
3PAR Simulator instance, or another VM instance you will need to configure Network Adapter 1.
Right-Click on sim_node0, select “Settings”
