To identify the HCP system to be monitored:

  1. In the row of tabs at the top of the Hitachi Remote Ops interface, click Summary.
    The Summary page displays up to four tables that categorize the devices known to Hitachi Remote Ops: Device Errors, Communication Errors, Devices Okay, and Not Monitored. To show or hide these tables, click the check boxes below the table names at the top of the page to select or deselect the tables, as applicable. Then click Refresh.
    While no tables are shown, the page contains an Add a Device link.
  2. Take one of the following actions:
    • If the Summary page doesn’t display any tables, click the Add a device link.
    • If the Summary page displays one or more tables, click the Item column heading in any of the tables.
  3. In the Select Device Type field, select Hitachi Content Platform (HCP). A set of configuration fields appears.
  4. Optionally, in the Name field, type a name for the HCP system.
    The name can be from one through 40 characters long. Special characters and spaces are allowed. Typically, this is the hostname of the system.
  5. Optionally, in the Location field, type the location of the HCP system.
    The location can be from one through 40 characters long. Special characters and spaces are allowed.
  6. Optionally, in the Group field, type the name of a group associated with the HCP system (for example, "Finance Department").
    The group name can be from one through 40 characters long. Special characters and spaces are allowed.
  7. In the Site ID field, type your Hitachi Vantara customer ID.
    If you don’t know your customer ID, contact your authorized HCP service provider for help.
  8. In the IP Address or Name (1) field, type a valid front-end IP address for the lowest-numbered storage node in the HCP system. In the Local Interface field, leave the value as any.
  9. In the IP Address or Name (2) field, type a valid front-end IP address for the highest-numbered storage node in the HCP system. In the Local Interface field, leave the value as any.
  10. In the SNMP Access ID field, select the SNMP user that corresponds to the SNMP configuration in HCP.
    Typically, this is public.
  11. In the Comms Error Reporting field, select one of these options to specify whether Hitachi Remote Ops must report communications errors that occur between Hitachi Remote Ops and the HCP system:
    • Yes: Report communication errors
    • No: Don't report communication errors
    • Local: Report communication errors only to the email addresses specified in the base configuration and not through the specified transport agents.
    • Default: Use the setting in the base configuration.
  12. Leave Enabled selected.
  13. Leave Trace unselected.
  14. Click Add.
    If the operation is successful, the interface displays a message indicating that the HCP system has been added. Do not click Add again: Doing so will add the system a second time.
