HP 3PAR Persistent Ports
HP 3PAR Persistent Ports is a Tier 1 resiliency feature that allows for non-disruptive online software
upgrades on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems without relying on multipathing software. This feature,
available on all HP 3PAR StoreServ models, brings increased Tier 1 resiliency, across the StoreServ product
line including the midrange platform by ensuring that host paths remain online throughout the software
upgrade process. The use of standard NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) technology as defined by the
Technical Committee T11 in the Fibre Channel -Link Services (FC-LS) specification enables a single host-
facing StoreServ port to assume the identity of additional pre-designated partner ports, thus enabling
transparent switchover of host path connections. Persistent Port Technology is also designed to work with
iSCSI and FcoE connectivity.
Starting from HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Persistent Ports also autonomically fails over a front-end controller node
port that experiences physical connection loss from a cable pull or a failed switch; this unique capability,
for now is available for FC connectivity only.
HP 3PAR Autonomic Rebalance
HP 3PAR Autonomic Rebalance provides the ability to analyze how volumes on the HP 3PAR Storage
System are using physical disk space and makes intelligent, autonomic adjustments to ensure optimal
volume distribution when new hardware is added to the system. The best practice is to run the Autonomic
Rebalance (Also known as tunesys) after new hardware is added to the system.
HP 3PAR Web Services API
HP 3PAR Web Services API delivers a programming interface for implementing durable automation of
storage management tasks with HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems. Web Services API provides a well-
defined application programming interface that customers can use for incorporating the storage
infrastructure into their platform for end-to-end automation of their service delivery and management.
The Web Services API implementation is based on RESTful Web API service using HTTPS, principles of
REST, and data structures represented with JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). The server recognizes HTTP
versions 1.0 and 1.1.
