HPE OneView for System Center
HPE OneView for Microsoft System Center provides a comprehensive
integration of HPE Storage, HPE Servers, HPE Blade System
and HPE Virtual Connect with Microsoft System Center. HPE OneView for System Center enables management and monitoring of
HPE MSA Storage running in Microsoft environment with a single pane-of-glass view to events/alerts, capacity and health
dashboards and detailed virtual infrastructure information. It provides seamless integration with Microsoft System Center
Operations Manager (SCOM) enabling predefined discovery and monitoring policies, event processing rules and topology views fo
r
HPE Storage including the MSA Storage Systems.
When deployed with the MSA 2060 array, HPE OneView for System Center provides the following:
• Monitors the health, events and alerts for the MSA 2060 – virtual pools, and volumes
• Provides topology information for VMs provisioned on the MSA Storage array

vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI)
The vStorage API for Array Integration (VAAI) is one of the storage application programming interface (API) sets in vSphere.
VAAI
is an API storage partners can leverage to enhance performance of virtual machine (VM) management operations by delegating
these operations to the storage array. With hardware offload, ESX/ESXi hosts perform certain operations faster and consume less
server CPU and memory resources, and also storage port and storage fabric bandwidth. VAAI includes high performance and
scalable VM data path primitives.
Storage Hardware Primitives for VAAI
• Full Copy or Hardware Assisted Move
• Block Zeroing or Hardware Assisted Zeroing
• Hardware Assisted Locking or Atomic Test and Set (ATS)
• UNMAP reclaims space that is no longer on a thinly provisioned VMFS volume
LDAP Support
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining
distributed directory information services over an IP network. LDAP provides the ability to authenticate MSA users with a central
directory.
• Domain or Directory Credentials are not stored on the MSA for authentication – avoids a security issue.
• Once user groups are configured on all MSAs in your organization, users can be authenticated on any MSA through the
Active Directory.
• Uses an LDAP implementation to authenticate users with a Windows Active Directory.
• The MSA CLI and SMU will allow the configuration of new LDAP users groups into the MSA security scheme (manage vs
monitor users, interface restrictions Web/CLI/FTP).
• Ability to authenticate Local or LDAP users.
