6. On the Name and Location page, create a name for the VSP, and then click Next.
7. On the Storage page, select a storage destination for the virtual machine files, and then click
Next.
NOTE: When deploying from the VMware VirtualCenter, specify the host to deploy the VSP
from the Host/Cluster page.
8. On the Disk Format page, select Thin Provision, and then click Next.
9. On the Network Mapping page, map the virtual machine to the networks in your inventory,
and then click Next.
10. On the Ready to Complete page, do the following steps:
a. Review the deployment settings.
b. Select the Power on after Deployment checkbox. Selecting this option powers on the VSP
after the installation is complete.
c. Click Finish.
A Deployment Completed Successfully message should appear after a few minutes.
11. Click Close.
12. On the left navigation pane, verify the system is on and the green icon is displaying on the
new VSP. If necessary, expanding navigation tree to find the deployed VSP.

The VSP is now ready to set up. Continue on to “Establishing the Virtual Service Processor IP
Address” (page 65).
Establishing the Virtual Service Processor IP Address
After verifying the connection to the Virtual Service Processor, you must perform one of the following
options:
• Option A: Determine the temporary IP Address of the VSP in a DHCP environment.
• Option B: Set the IP address of the VSP in a non-DHCP environment.
Option A: DHCP Network Environment
To determine a temporary IP address for the VSP:
1. In the VMware vSphere Client window, select the Summary tab and wait 5-10 minutes for
the IP address to appear (in the General section, IP address field).
2. Make a note of this VSP IP address, and launch HP 3PAR SmartStart.
