When transitioning to Ops Center Administrator, Administrator automatically copies server information from Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded when you onboard the storage system in Ops Center Administrator. Server object copy does not change any existing storage configuration or related information (for example, path information) and only differential information is updated for server objects in Ops Center Administrator.
Note that after you onboard the storage system and server object copy is complete, you must manage your servers by using Ops Center Administrator. You can no longer manage servers with Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded because the provisioning function is disabled for data integrity reasons.
Server object copy results depend on the configuration of server WWNs and iSCSI names between Ops Center Administrator and Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded for all storage systems that you onboard. This means that before you onboard any storage system, you must first ensure that the server configuration in Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded including the server name, WWNs and iSCSI name is consistent for all storage systems you plan to onboard.
Because Ops Center Administrator server information takes priority over the information in Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded, when server inconsistency is found, you may see different server configuration information in Ops Center Administrator than you do in Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded.
Provisioning is reenabled for a storage system in Hitachi Storage Advisor Embedded after you remove it from Ops Center Administrator. For detailed instructions on how to onboard a storage system, see "Chapter 2: Adding a storage system" in the Hitachi Ops Center Administrator User Guide. If server object copy fails when onboarding, try manually refreshing the storage system.
