VSP service processor server
The VSP Fx00 models include a separate, dedicated 1U service processor (SVP) to host an element manager (Storage Navigator). The SVP (model number 3919435.P) operates independently from the CPU of the storage system and operating system, and provides out‑of‑band configuration and management of the storage system. The SVP also monitors and collects performance data for key components of the storage system to enable diagnostic testing and analysis for customer support.
The SVP is available as:
- A physical 1U management server provided by Hitachi Vantara that runs Windows Embedded Standard 7.
- A software application that runs Windows 7 Professional x64 Service Pack 1 (64-bit) on a customer-supplied server hardware, a VMware ESXi host, or Linux KVM host.
- A software application that runs Microsoft Hyper-V Windows Server 2012 R2 on a customer-supplied server hardware running one of the following 64-bit operating systems:
- Windows 10 Professional
- Windows 10 Enterprise
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2012 R2
Service processor description
The SVP provides four RJ-45 ports:
- Two ports connect to the storage system controllers (one port for each controller).
- One port connects to the IP network of the user.
- One port connects to a user-supplied management console PC.
Three of the four RJ-45 ports (which connect to the controllers and the IP network) are configured as a bridge. The SVP can be addressed using the default IP address 192.168.0.15.
In the unlikely event you cannot connect to the SVP using the default IP address, use the following emergency login: http://<default SVP IP address>/dev/storage/<model number><system serial number>/emergency.do. For example:
| Storage system model number | Storage system serial number | URL |
|
8320004 |
456789 | |
|
8340004 |
456789 | |
|
8360004 |
456789 |
Users are responsible for adopting the appropriate security procedures with the SVP, including:
- Applying Windows security patches.
- Turning on automatic Windows updates or using the manual Windows update method.
- Installing antivirus software that has been tested and approved by Hitachi.
