To enable Hitachi Remote Ops to work with HCP, you must enable SNMP in the HCP System Management Console. When you enable SNMP, you can select version 1, 2c, or 3.

By default, Hitachi Remote Ops is configured to support SNMP version 1 or 2c with the community name public. If you change the community name in HCP, or if you select version 3, you must configure a new SNMP user in Hitachi Remote Ops to match what you specify in HCP. For more information, see the Hitachi Remote Ops documentation.

To enable SNMP in HCP:

  1. Log in to the HCP System Management Console using the initial user account, which has the security role.
  2. In the top-level menu of the console, go to System Management Console, then select Monitoring → SNMP.
  3. In the SNMP Settings section on the SNMP page:
    1. Select the Enable SNMP at snmp.hcp-domain-name option.
    2. Select either Use version 1 or 2c (recommended) or Use version 3.
      If you select Use version 3, specify a username and password in the Username, Password, and Confirm Password fields.
    3. Optionally, in the Community field, type a different community name.
  4. Click Update Settings.
  5. In the entry field in the Allow section, type the IP address that you want HCP to use to connect to the server where Hitachi Remote Ops is installed. Then click Add.
  6. Log out of the System Management Console and close the browser window.
