- Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One Block Administrator
- The VSP One Block Administrator web-based software enables you to quickly configure and provision a single storage system and its resources, such as volumes and pools, and perform daily operations such as backing up data and monitoring performance. VSP One Block Administrator combines a simple and intuitive graphical user interface, high-performing REST APIs, and a built-in CLI embedded natively in the storage system to provide comprehensive administrative capabilities. VSP One Block Administrator is embedded on the controllers and accessed using the management PC.
The VSP One Block Administrator dashboard enables you to quickly determine the health of your storage system. Key performance metrics such as IOPS and response time are displayed graphically to show peaks and trends. The dashboard also displays the overall capacity of the storage system, its usage/available capacity, and the data reduction (deduplication and compression) savings, including the amount of data reduction achieved.
- Embedded CCI
- Embedded CCI is the built-in CLI for the storage system. Using the embedded CCI software, you can perform complex configuration and provisioning operations by issuing CCI raidcom commands directly to the connected storage system. Embedded CCI is embedded on the controllers and accessed using the management PC. To access embedded CCI, you log in to VSP One Block Administrator and then open the command console window. When the management PC (SSH client) connects successfully to the controller, the CCI user session is created.
- Command Control Interface (CCI)
- The CCI host-based CLI software provides powerful command-line control for Virtual Storage Platform family storage systems, enabling you to manage storage system resources and perform data management operations such as replication and protection by issuing commands to the storage systems.
CCI commands can be used interactively or in scripts to automate and standardize storage administration functions. For remote replication operations, CCI interfaces with the host system software and high-availability (HA) software as well as the software on the storage system to provide enhanced functionality. CCI supports both synchronous and asynchronous processing of configuration setting commands to accommodate provisioning operations that can take time to process.
- REST APIs
- REST-based APIs extend operations, enabling integration with existing toolsets and automation templates to further simplify and consolidate management tasks. The VSP One Block storage systems support the following REST APIs:
- Virtual Storage Platform REST APIs, also supported by VSP E series, VSP 5000 series, and VSP G/F350, G/F370, G/F700, G/F900
- VSP One Block Administrator REST APIs
