When managing resources in a large-scale data center, you can use a configuration that uses multiple management servers. The following shows this type of configuration.

Figure showing an example of a system configuration where Hitachi Ops Center is operated at two data centers. In this example, one management server, which was deployed by using an OVA file, and one Analyzer probe server are installed at each data center, and an Analyzer viewpoint server is installed outside of the data centers.

If you deploy multiple OVA files, a Common Services instance is installed on each server, but the system only uses one instance. In this example configuration, the system uses the Common Services instance on the management server running in Data Center 1.

Using an individual installer, you can also manually install optional Hitachi Ops Center products. In this example configuration, Automator, Administrator, and Common Services are installed.

In this example, Hitachi Ops Center Automator and Common Services are installed on the management server at Data Center 1, and Hitachi Ops Center Administrator is installed on the management server at Data Center 2.

Note: If the Hitachi Ops Center system configuration contains multiple management servers and the system times of the management servers are not the same, you cannot start the products from the Hitachi Ops Center Portal. To keep the time synchronized, we recommend that you use NTP to correct the time automatically.
