HPE

In the Ultra Transcenders books

NCP-MCI-7.5

Each book explains HPE in context, with comparison tables and the common traps.

Terms in this definition

• LCM

  Lifecycle management in SDDC Manager covers prechecks, bundles and upgrades; its logs sit in /var/log/vmware/vcf/lcm. Since SDDC Manager 9.0, lcm-debug.log receives all of this, and lcm.log is left untouched.

• CRUD

  Shorthand for create, read, update and delete, the four basic things you do with data. Data-plane roles in Azure Cosmos DB, for instance, authorise those operations on items.

• Foundation Central Appliance

  Not to be confused with Foundation Central, the Prism Central app. This separate VM has a simple interface of its own and, on day 0, can image nodes with no cluster formed or build compute clusters backed by external storage.

Related terms

• HPE 3PAR Web Services API

  How Orchestrator talks to HPE Primera and HPE 3PAR arrays. As it is off by default, sign in via SSH before connecting the array, start the WSAPI service and turn on HTTPS for it where needed.

• HPE StoreOnce

  An HPE deduplication appliance reached via StoreOnce Catalyst and used as a repository. Since no Data Mover can run on it, a gateway server is required.

• OEM

  Original equipment manufacturer: a server vendor like Dell or HPE, supplying custom ESX images and add-ons that go into vLCM images.

• Storage Failover

  Runs before a storage plan's inventory groups. It splits NetApp SnapMirror pairings or fails over HPE remote copy groups, then presents the replicated volumes and datastores at the recovery site.

• storage plan

  Recovers vSphere machines whose volumes are replicated by NetApp or HPE arrays. Groups are defined inside Orchestrator rather than through Veeam ONE, and after a failover the plan remains IN-USE until reset.

• synchronous long distance

  SLD is an HPE Remote Copy setup that Orchestrator does not support, so arrays paired that way cannot be connected.
