7 Working with VASA Provider
The communication between HP 3PAR VASA provider and vCenter server is a secure connection based on SSL certificate and Windows credential. Before VASA Provider can be registered by vCenter server, VASA provider requires that you extract the SMS certificate from vCenter server and install it to the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware installed host to allow client certificate negotiation in the Transport Layer. For instruction on how to extract and import the certificate, please refers to Chapter 3.4 Registering an SMS Certificate for the VASA Provider. After the SMS certificate has been installed, you can register the provider from the vCenter server by clicking on the Storage Providers icon as shown below.
