You must create a connection setting for the server running the Ops Center API Configuration Manager.
This connection enables Ops Center Automator to run services on storage systems registered with the Ops Center API Configuration Manager. Setting up connections requires the Admin role.
Before you can use services that use Configuration Manager, you must set up your environment so that the Ops Center API Configuration Manager manages all of your storage systems. For detailed information on setting up this environment and registering your storage systems with a Ops Center API Configuration Manager, see the Hitachi Ops Center API Configuration Manager REST API Reference Guide.
When creating Ops Center API Configuration Manager server connections, you must set up credentials as follows:
-
For services that use Configuration Manager, create one connection that uses the same credentials for each storage system managed by Configuration Manager. In addition, see the Service template prerequisites to ensure that the common credentials are assigned the required roles. For example, for the Create Online Migration Pair service, the credentials must be assigned the following roles:
- Security Administrator (View & Modify)
- Storage Administrator (Provisioning)
- Storage Administrator (Remote Copy)
- Storage Administrator (Initial Configuration)
