Data Collection Setup

Metrics are collected via the HP3Par StorServ WSAPI.

Enabling WSAPI on the StorvServ Array

The WSAPI must be enabled on your specific StoreServ Array to enable communication.

Before you can collect performance data from your HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage system, you must enable the HPE 3PAR Web Services API (WSAPI) server.

Check the state of your HPE 3PAR WSAPI server (and enable it, if necessary)

  1. Log in to the StoreServ CLI as an administrator:
    # ssh <administrator account>@<SP IP Address>

  2. Check the state of your WSAPI server:
    # showwsapi

600

3.If the WSAPI server is disabled, you can start it by running:
# startwsapi

  1. If HTTP or HTTPS is disabled, you can enable one of them by running:

# setwsapi -http enable
OR
# setwsapi -https enable

Network Requirements

Port: 80 (TCP) HTTP
Port: 443 (TCP) HTTPS to the StoreServ Array

Least Privileged User

HPE 3PAR StoreServ requires a least-privileged user (LPU) with the browse role assigned to it.

📘

When creating your user, you may choose to monitor all domains or a single domain. See your specific HPE 3PAR StoreServ Administration Guide for details.
