HPE 3Par Simulator disponible pour tout le monde

Longtemps réservé aux partenaires, HPE propose à tous le simulateur des controleurs des baies 3Par : HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage

HPE 3PAR Simulator v3.2.1 MU2 provides a virtualized HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage System without the corresponding physical storage hardware requirements. The features normally provided by the hardware components, including the ASIC, HBA and enclosure are emulated in software. The HPE 3PAR Simulator provides the same look, feel and primary interaction capabilities of a physical storage system including support for management, administration and reporting through the HPE 3PAR Management Console, remote CLI, and client software access to the CIM-API and WS-API interfaces.

The HPE 3PAR Simulator requires a VMware ESXi 5.x or a VMware Workstation 9 or 10 setup. The simulator configuration requires deploying three VMs; two VMs simulating the cluster nodes, a third VM to simulate the enclosure and private network configuration to enable communication between the three VMs. The minimum system resources required for each VM are:

• One virtual CPU (single core)

• Three virtual NICs
• 2GB RAM
• 50GB disk space (full or thin-provisioned)

• Téléchargement & documentation
