HP Cluster Software manual 15

Configuration tool (clx3PARconfig.exe)

HP 3PAR Cluster Extension uses the configuration tool(clx3PARconfig.exe) to store configuration and access information for each configured management server. This tool stores information in the clx3parcfg file. However, because the clx3parcfg file cannot be edited with a standard text editor, management server entries can only be added, modified, and deleted using the configuration tool that is included with the standard installation of HP 3PAR Cluster Extension.

HP 3PAR InForm Management Console or HP 3PAR InForm CLI

HP 3PAR InForm Management Console or HP 3PAR InForm CLI is used to create virtual volumes and configure the HP 3PAR storage system.

IP network considerations

HP 3PAR CLI is essential to Cluster Extension which communicates with the HP 3PAR storage system over the IP network. HP recommends that you provide reliable network connections for cluster node to HP 3PAR storage system communications.

SAN fabric considerations

Ensure that cluster nodes in the zoning configuration recognize their respective (local) HP 3PAR storage system, but not the remote HP 3PAR storage system.
