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 Data Mobility services, you must set up your environment so that the Ops Center API Configuration Manager manages all of your storage systems. You must also register remote storage system information across all your storage systems. This means that you must register information about remote storage systems with the Ops Center API Configuration Manager server of the local storage system and information about the local storage system with the Ops Center API Configuration Manager server of the remote storage systems. For detailed information on these needs and registering your storage systems with a Ops Center API Configuration Manager, see Registering storage systems to an Ops Center API Configuration Manager REST API connection.
When creating Ops Center API Configuration Manager server connections, you must set up credentials as follows:
-
For the JavaScript Plug-in for Configuration Manager REST API and built-in Configuration Manager REST methods:
- When all storage systems managed by a Ops Center API Configuration Manager use the same credentials, create one connection. For example, when your environment uses a central repository, such as Active Directory, to manage credentials.
- When each storage system managed by an Ops Center API Configuration Manager uses different credentials, create a connection for each set of storage system credentials.
