    Placement of the VSP in your environmentUsers should consider separating the VSP from the same HPE 3PAR StoreServ system that is managing. This would help ensure that the VSP is available to troubleshoot any issues with the array. One could deploy the VSP on the local disk of the hypervisor or put it on another array that the VSP is not managing. Putting the VSP on shared storage would give the user options to leverage hypervisor HA options or mobility features. Running the VSP from the local disk has its advantage to the latest storage VMotion’s enhancements in vSphere 5.1 and later gives mobility to the VSP VM, but it does not protect against hardware failure of the host itself.
