Software prerequisites

The Global-Active Device Setup service template has the following software prerequisites:

  • Ops Center API Configuration Manager v10.7.0-00 or later
    • When using VSP G200, G400, G600, G800, VSP F400, F600, F800, VSP N400, N600, N800, VSP G1000, VSP G1500, VSP F1500, or VSP E990, enable SSL between the Ops Center API Configuration Manager server and the storage system when registering the storage by using the Ops Center API Configuration Manager. If you register the storage from the Ops Center Automator Administration tab, choose the Enable SSL communication with SVP option.

    • Stop all CCI instances between 1020-1039 on the Ops Center API Configuration Manager server.

    • Add the Ops Center API Configuration Manager server to the Ops Center Automator Agentless Remote Connections. When adding the connection, match the IP Address/Host Name setting of Web Service Connection with the IP Address/Host Name setting of the Agentless Remote Connection setting.

Setup prerequisites

The Global-Active Device setup service template has the following setup prerequisites.

  • Create an external volume to use as a Quorum Disk, and register it in Primary and Secondary Storage.
  • Prepare ports for the remote path.

    Prepare a minimum of two ports for the remote path for Primary Storage and Secondary Storage.

    • For VSP G1000, VSP G1500, and VSP F1500, prepare one MCU port and one RCU port.
    • For VSP 5000 series models, VSP Gx00 models, VSP Fx00 models, VSP N series models, and VSP E series models, you can share an MCU/RCU/Target/Initiator port by setting the port attribute to bidirectional mode, but you should prepare a dedicated port to avoid migration performance degradation.
    • Set the zone between the ports.
    Note: You cannot create remote paths using the iSCSI port.
  • Host Group (optional)

    Create a Host Group to use for Command Device allocation, and register the pair management server WWN.

    When creating a path with this service, the host and storage port are created individually, but to control how to create a path (for example, to create it with Full Mesh), create a Host Group beforehand and when you are in the Existing Host Group/iSCSI Target in the Edit/Config window, select the Host Group you created.

  • Create a web service connection for the Ops Center API Configuration Manager that uses the same credentials for each storage system managed by Ops Center API Configuration Manager.
  • Verify that the common credentials used to access all storage systems are assigned the following roles:
    • Security Administrator (View and Modify)
    • Storage Administrator (Provisioning)
