You must register storage systems in advance before you can use them with the Ops Center API Configuration Manager and the Ops Center Automator storage automation services.
From the Configuration Manager Settings window on the Administration tab, you can:
- Register and delete local storage systems.
- Refresh and update local storage system status and information.
- Register and delete remote storage system information.
Make sure that these ports are open before registering a storage system or submitting a service. If the proper ports are not open, registering a storage system might fail or the task might fail. For affected service templates, see Service template prerequisites.
For details, see "Ports used by the REST API" and "Ports used during remote copy operations" in the Hitachi Ops Center API Configuration Manager REST API Reference Guide.
When the certificate verification feature is enabled in the VSP One B24, VSP One B26, and VSP One B28 storage systems (microcode version A3-04-01-XX or later), the following problems might occur:
- In the [Register Local Storage System] dialog box, registering a storage system with the [Receive configuration-change notifications from the storage system] option enabled might fail.
- The database used by Ops Center API Configuration Manager search function does not match the resource information of the storage system, and the service templates that assume Ops Center API Configuration Manager might not work correctly.
- In the [Register Remote Storage System] dialog box, registering a remote storage system might fail.
- The actions related to remote copy might fail, and the following
service templates might not work correctly:
- Allocate Volumes with 2DC Remote Replication
- Allocate Volumes with Remote Replication (Global-Active Device)
- Create Online Migration Pair
- Create Online Migration Pairs for Multiple Hosts
- Migrate Data for Online Migration Pair
- Clean up Online Migration Pair
When these problems occur, see "Setting up SSL communication" in the Hitachi Ops Center API Configuration Manager REST API Reference Guide and review the SSL communication settings.
