Enabling HPE 3PAR Web Services API

Orchestrator uses the HPE 3PAR Web Services API (WSAPI) to communicate with HPE Primera and HPE 3PAR storage systems. When you add an HPE Primera or HPE 3PAR storage system to Orchestrator, the WSAPI is not enabled automatically because Orchestrator does not have enough privileges to perform this operation. This means that you must enable the WSAPI manually before connecting the storage system to Orchestrator.

To enable the WSAPI, do the following:

  1. Log on to the Processor with administrator privileges:

#ssh <administrator account>@<SP IP Address>

  1. Run the following command to view the current state of the WSAPI server:

#showwsapi

-- -State- -HTTP_State-

HTTP_Port -HTTPS_State- HTTPS_Port -Version-

Enabled Active Enabled 8008

Enabled 8080 1.1

  1. If the WSAPI server is not running, run the following command to start it:

#startwsapi

If the HTTPS port is disabled, run the following command to enable it:

#setwsapi -https enable
