Storage system management
With Storage Navigator, you can perform the following functions: • • • • • Provision the storage system Set up data replication for restoring lost data View and manage the configuration of the storage system Monitor and tune performance Acquire logs for actions and commands performed on the storage system

GUI feature highlights
Storage Navigator allows you to set up and manage more than one storage system with a use-case in mind. Whether creating LDEVs or pools, adding host groups or LUN paths, enabling performance monitoring, or creating pairs for replication — these and all storage system tasks are made simpler because the GUI seamlessly crosses the underlying Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform software functionality. The use of wizards for major use-case tasks makes it possible to complete the set of tasks in one procedural flow, with a minimum of steps and a minimum of clicks. An example of the GUI main window is shown here.

1–2

Overview Hitachi VSP Storage Navigator User Guide

Figure 1-1 Storage Navigator GUI

Emphasis on performance
Operations you perform are executed in the background. This means you can start the next operation without waiting for the previous one to complete.

Wizards and task management
Wizards are provided for each main task. The wizard guides you through all the subtasks that you ordinarily perform one at a time. For example, the Create V-VOLs wizard guides you through a series of screens in which you create the LDEVs for the V-VOLs, then add LUN paths—by selecting LDEVs, selecting host groups, and mapping LUNs. Storage Navigator also provides a window checking on the tasks you have committed to the system. The Task window provides detailed information about each task and shows the priority and status of each task you are tracking.

Reporting
Storage Navigator provides views of various aspects of your storage system. You can generate a report for specific areas of the system. Reports can be generated for a summary of the system data, ports, Channel Adapters, and disk adapters. Several configuration reports. Reports are formatted in either CSV or HTML.

Help
Storage Navigator online help provides procedural information for setting up and managing the storage system. Links to the major storage system tasks, search functions, and glossary are included.

Storage Navigator CLI
Hitachi Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to perform commands on the storage system using the command prompt. To use the CLI, you need to install certain files on the Storage Navigator computer. The CLI can be used to perform only specific operations for specific software. For details on the CLI, see System Operations Using Spreadsheets.

Setup workflow Cable connection requirements Enabling IPv6 communication Setting up SSL encryption Setting up the client computer

Setting up Storage Navigator Hitachi VSP Storage Navigator User Guide

2–1

Setup workflow
The following workflow describes the setup tasks for Storage Navigator: • The Hitachi Data Systems representative attaches the SVP in your storage system to the LAN. Storage Navigator is already set up on the SVP and is therefore ready for access by client computers. Insure the correct LAN cabling and connections are in place. See Cable connection requirements on page 2-2, below. Set up network connections. See Enabling IPv6 communication on page 2-2, as needed. Also, you can set up additional communications security for remote operations with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). See Setting up SSL encryption on page 2-3 Set up Storage Navigator computer(s). See Setting up the client computer on page 2-13. Set up user accounts. See Setting up and managing user accounts on page 4-1. Configure the Storage Navigator environment. See Configuring the Storage Navigator environment on page 5-1. Install license keys for software. See License keys on page 6-1.

• •

• • • •

Requirements for the various elements are included in the following topics.

Cable connection requirements
Insure that the following LAN cable and connection requirements are met: • • Thinnet coaxial cable. For twisted-pair connections, contact the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center Support Center for assistance. The total length of the LAN cables must not be greater than 185 meters (607 feet).

Enabling IPv6 communication
If the storage system LAN uses Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) addresses in the storage system LAN, you may need to enable IPv6 communication on the SVP. For Windows 7 and Solaris 10, you can enable IPv4 (standard) communication, IPv6 communication, or both. You determine which protocol to use based on the IP addresses that are used within the LAN. Use the same communication options for both the Storage Navigator computer and the SVP. If you use IPv6 to display the Storage Navigator main window when both IPv4 and IPv6 are available, IPv6 addresses are displayed in the Storage Navigator secondary window but actually IPv4 communication is used. For information on how to configure IP communication from an SVP, contact the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center. The following topics give brief instructions on configuring IPv6 communication in Windows 7 and Solaris 10 environments.

2–2

Setting up Storage Navigator Hitachi VSP Storage Navigator User Guide

Configuring IPv6 communication in Windows 7
To configure a Storage Navigator computer to use IPv6 for communication with an SVP: 1. Select Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections. 2. Select and right-click the network where the SVP resides, and then click Properties in the pop-up menu. Click Continue if the User Account Control dialog box appears. Otherwise, the Networking dialog box appears. 3. Select the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) check box. Optionally, clear the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) check box. 4. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Configuring IPv6 communication in Solaris 10
To configure a Storage Navigator computer to use IPv6 for communication with an SVP: 1. Start the console. 2. Execute the following command. ipconfig network-interface-name inet down

Setting up SSL encryption
To improve security of remote operations from a Storage Navigator SVP to a storage system, you can set up Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted communication. By setting SSL encryption, the Storage Navigator User ID and Password are encrypted. Note the following SSL terms: • Secure Sockets Layer: SSL is a protocol first developed by Netscape® to securely transmit data over the Internet. Two SSL-enabled peers use their private and public keys to establish a secure communication session, with each peer encrypting transmitted data with a randomly generated and agreed-upon symmetric key. Keypair: A keypair is two mathematically related cryptographic keys consisting of a private key and its associated public key. Server Certificate: A Server Certificate (also called a Digital Certificate) forms an association between an identity (in this case the SVP server) and a specific keypair. A Server Certificate is used to identify the SVP server to a client so that the server and client can communicate using SSL. Server Certificates are of two basic types: • Self-signed: You generate your owned self-signed certificate and the subject of the certificate is the same as the issuer of the certificate. If the Storage Navigator computers and the SVP are on an internal LAN behind a firewall, you may find that this option provides sufficient security.

•

Signed and Trusted: For a Signed and Trusted Server Certificate, a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is sent to and certified by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA) such as VeriSign® (http:// www.verisign.com/).

If you enable SSL, you must make sure that the key pair and associated server certificate do not expire. If either the key pair or the server certificate expires, users will be unable to connect to the SVP. Server certificates require the use of a host name instead of an IP address.

Creating a keypair
To enable SSL, you must create a keypair consisting of a public and a private key. The program (openssl.exe) for creating private and public keys in a Windows XP environment is available on the CD-ROM for SSL communications provided with Storage Navigator. If you are using Solaris™, download software for creating a keypair such as OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org/), and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Creating a private key (.key file)
A private key is required to create an SSL keypair. The following procedure is for the Windows XP operating system. Prerequisite You need the CD-ROM for SSL, which is provided by Hitachi Data Systems. It includes openssl.exe, SSLeay32.dll and libeay32.dll. Copy the entire contents of the openssl folder to a drive on your computer. To create a private key in a Windows XP environment: 1. Release the read-only attribute from the openssl folder. 2. Open a command prompt. 3. Navigate to the directory where you copied the folder, and execute the following command: openssl genrsa -out server.key 1024

This procedure creates a file called server.key in the openssl folder. This file becomes the private Key.

Creating a public key (.csr file)
A public key is required to create an SSL keypair. The following procedure is for the Windows XP operating system. Prerequisite You need the CD-ROM for SSL, which is provided by Hitachi Data Systems. It includes openssl.exe, SSLeay32.dll and libeay32.dll. Copy the entire contents of the openssl folder to your drive of choice To create a public key in a Windows XP environment:

Setting up Storage Navigator Hitachi VSP Storage Navigator User Guide

1. Open a command prompt. 2. Navigate to the directory where you copied the folder, and execute the following command: openssl req -sha256 -new -key server.key -config openssl.cnf out server.csr

Note: This command uses SHA-256 as a hush algorithm. MD5 or SHA1 is not recommended for a hush algorithm due to its low security level. 3. Enter the following information in the prompt: • • • • • • Country Name (2 letter code) State or Province Name Locality Name Organization Name Organization Unit Name Common Name To create a self-signed certificate, enter the IP address of the Web server (SVP). Too obtain a signed and trusted certificate, the server name must be the same as the host name of the storage device. • • • Email Address Challenge password (optional) Company name (optional)

An example of a command prompt when you create a public key is shown in the following figure.

Figure 2-1 Creating a public key

Acquiring a self-signed certificate
To acquire a self-signed certificate, open a command prompt and execute the following command:

C:\openssl> openssl x509 -req -sha256 -days 10000 -in server.csr signkey server.key -out server.crt

Note: This command uses SHA-256 as a hush algorithm. MD5 or SHA-1 is not recommended for a hush algorithm due to its low security level. This creates a server.crt file in the openssl folder, which is valid for 10,000 days. This is the signed private key, which is also referred to as a self-signed certificate.

Creating a signed and trusted certificate
To create a signed and trusted certificate, you must create a certificate signing request (CSR), send that file to a Certificate Authority (CA), and request that the CA issue a signed and trusted certificate. Each certificate authority has its own procedures and requirements, and there is generally a cost for doing so. The signed and trusted certificate is the signed Public Key.

Uploading the signed certificate to the SVP
To use SSL-encrypted communication, you must update and upload the private key and the signed Server Certificate (public key) to the SVP. To update and upload the private key and the signed Server Certificate (public key) to the SVP: 1. Log off of all Storage Navigator Web client sessions on the SVP. 2. In the Web browser of your Storage Navigator computer, specify the following URL: http://IP-address-or-host-name-of-SVP/cgi-bin/utility/ toolpanel.cgi

3. In the Tool Panel dialog box, click Update Certificate Files. If the SSL encrypted communications is set up and the Security Alert dialog box appears, click OK. The Security Alert dialog box for the certificate may also appear. In this case, click View Certificate, confirm the certificate is correct, and then click Yes. 4. Enter the User ID and Password for the administrator, then click Login. The upload dialog box for Update Certificate Files appears. 5. Enter both the public key certificate file name in the Certificate file (.crt file) box and the private Key file (.key file) box. You can enter the file names directly or by clicking Browse. 6. Click Upload on the upload dialog box of Update Certificate Files. The execution of Update Certificate Files confirmation dialog box appears. 7. Click OK to begin the certificate update. Once complete, the Web server restarts and a dialog box appears. It may take 30 or 60 minutes for the web server to restart. In this case, the Update Certificate Files Completion dialog box does not appear and an internal server error occurs, but the setting is actually completed. 8. Click OK. If the Security Alert dialog box for the certificate appears, click View Certificate to confirm that the certificate is correct, and click Yes.

Workflow for creating and managing user accounts
The administrator creates user accounts for all users. Use Storage Navigator to create the account. The following shows a basic workflow for creating users: • Connect client computers to an authentication server, if used. An authentication server allows users to log in to Storage Navigator with the same password as the one used for other applications in a system. Review Connecting to an authentication server on page 4-2 for information and instructions. • • • Review Permissions, roles, and user groups on page 4-5 to understand the user groups and roles you can assign new (or existing) users. Create users and assign permissions. See Creating a user account on page 4-7 Change, disable, or delete user passwords and permissions. See Changing a user password on page 4-8

Connecting to an authentication server
When an authentication server is used, a user can log in to Storage Navigator with the same password as the one used for other applications in a system. The authentication server requirement must be configured for each user. Prerequisites • • • LDAPv3 or RADIUS are supported as a protocol of an authentication server. One authentication server can be connected. Because UDP/IP is used to access the RADIUS server, no encrypted communications are available such as negotiations between processes. To access the RADIUS server in a secure environment, encryption in the packet level is required, such as IPsec.

To connect to an authentication server 1. Create an LDAP or RADIUS configuration file. See Creating an LDAP configuration file on page 4-2 below, or Creating a RADIUS configuration file on page 4-4. 2. Give the configuration file to your service representative. 3. The service representative configures the SVP.

Creating an LDAP configuration file
To use an LDAP server for authentication, create a configuration file using a text editor and define the information about the authentication server in the following format. Any file name and its extension are allowed.
#Comment auth.server.type=ldap auth.server.name=<server_name> auth.ldap.<server_name>.<attribute>=<value>

A user must belong to at least one group. Permissions are divided into the following categories: • • • • Security: user management, encryption key, and authentication operations. Audit Log: audit log operations. Storage: all storage-related operations, except the above. Maintenance: SVP-related operations. Usually, a Hitachi Data Systems service representative performs these operations.

Roles and user groups
You give a user a role or roles by assigning him/her to a user group. You can change a user’s role by moving or adding the user to a another user group.

Overview
When you install a license key, it is also enabled. The functionality is available for use in Storage Navigator. The license key can be disabled. This allows you to conserve time on a term key, for example. If you have a 365-day term key for a software product, the license server starts the count the day you install the key. However, you may not use the license immediately, in which case you can disable the key. Disabling stops the count. You enable the key when ready to use it. This topic provides information in the order it is required: • License key types on page 6-2, below. Lists the key types; explains whether keys are permanent or temporary; shows the term limit, if any; and the provides the estimated license capacity, if required. Using the term key on page 6-3. Explains that you can conserve the term key when you are not using it. Estimating licensed capacity on page 6-3. Provides information and instructions for calculating license capacity according to your system and organization requirements. Installing and removing software on page 6-7. Provides instructions for installing, disabling, enabling, and removing keys. Insufficient license capacity on page 6-9 and License key expiration on page 6-10 provide information for dealing with these situations.

For emergency use. Use this key when: 30 days • The temporary key or the term key is set to expire in the near future and you cannot get the permanent key in time because of special circumstances (for example, a licensed server has crashed or there are problems with the communication infrastructure). • You do not intend to purchase the software but you need to undo a configuration change that was made during the lifetime of the temporary key or the term key. If you forcibly install an emergency key for software that has already has a permanent or term key, the license of that software will expire in 30 days.

When you log in to Storage Navigator, a warning message appears if 45 days or fewer remain before the expiration.

Using the term key
You can enable or disable the term key for each software product in Storage Navigator. It is a good idea to disable the term key when you are not using the software. Days in which the term key is disabled do not count toward the expiration date.

Estimating licensed capacity
The licensed capacity is volume capacity that you are licensed to use with the software. You need to estimate the amount of capacity which you want to use with the software before you purchase the permanent key or the term key.

Software and licensed capacity
Three licensed capacity types are available. Which one you choose depends on the software. The following table shows the licensed capacity types.

Table 6-2 Licensed capacity types

License keys Hitachi VSP Storage Navigator User Guide

Calculating pool capacity
The license capacity of Dynamic Provisioning is calculated using the total capacity of the Dynamic Provisioning pool. If you use Dynamic Provisioning V-VOLs as P-VOLs or S-VOLs of ShadowImage/TrueCopy/Universal Replicator, the license capacity of ShadowImage/TrueCopy/Universal Replicator is calculated using the page capacity allocated to the Dynamic Provisioning V-VOLs (that is, used pool capacity). For more information on calculating pool capacity, see the Provisioning Guide for Open Systems.

Installing and removing software
When you install a key, the software is enabled. You can disable the key when you are not using it, then enable it again when needed. You can also remove a license key.

Error Condition
5 You specify IPv6 communication addresses when you start Storage Navigator. However: • IPv4 communication is used • IPv4 addresses are output to audit logs for operations on the Storage Navigator secondary window. You cannot resolve an error condition.

Probable Cause / Recommended Action
IPv4 has higher priority when both IPv4 communication and IPv6 communication can be used. As a result of this, IPv4 may be used when you specify IPv6 communication addresses. Also, IPv4 addresses may appear in audit logs. For details on configuring only IPv6 communication, see Enabling IPv6 communication on page 2-2.

Note: The Storage Navigator digital signature has an expiration date and it might be expired depending on the Storage Navigator version that you use. Even though the digital signature is expired, you can continue using Storage Navigator.

Storage Navigator secondary windows and Modify mode
There is no Modify mode for the Storage Navigator main window. Main window and wizard operations are queued as tasks and performed in order. However, when using a Storage Navigator secondary window, you must be in Modify mode before changing any settings. Secondary window operations are not queued or displayed in the task window. A secondary window opens when you click a command from the Storage Navigator menu. To make settings in a secondary window, you must change to Modify mode by clicking . Modify mode prohibits other users or programs from changing the storage system setting. As soon as you close the secondary window, Modify mode is released. Modify mode has a timeout period. If you do not access SVP before the end of the timeout period, Modify mode is released. On some windows, the settings made but not yet applied to the storage system will be canceled. The secondary window displays the progress bar (shown in the following figure) indicating the remaining time in the timeout period. To extend this period and remain in Modify mode, click Reset.

For example, if this column displays 10 TB (6 TB), the licensed capacity is 10 TB and the minimum license capacity is 6 TB. The minimum license capacity is required to make sure the program product is in Install status. Licensed capacities are calculated assuming that 1 KB = 1,024 bytes, 1 MB = 1,024 KB, 1 GB = 1,024 MB, and 1 TB = 1,024 GB. The number of days remaining before the expiration of a temporary key, an emergency key, or a term key. After the temporary key has expired, the column shows the number of days that remain before you can reinstall the temporary key.

Status

Description
The current status of a program product: • Installed: The program product is available. • Installed (Disabled): Installation is complete, but the license is set to disabled. This status might appear if an error occurs after you install program product(s). Resolve the error and enable the license. This status also appears when the license key of this program product is installed but the license key of the prerequisite program product is expired. • Not Installed: The program product is not installed. • Not Enough License: Installation is complete, but the license capacity is insufficient. Not Enough License might remain displayed when the licensed capacity exceeds the mounted capacity after you reduce the number of LDEVs, or when the licensed capacity exceeds the used capacity after you delete pairs or pools. In these cases, you can refresh the license status by using the Available button. • Grace Period: The licensed capacity is insufficient because LDEVs are added, or pairs have been created by a program product. The license expires in 30 days. Please purchase the licenses before the license key expires. Grace Period might remain displayed when the licensed capacity exceeds the mounted capacity after you reduce the number of LDEVs, or when the licensed capacity exceeds the used capacity after you delete pairs or pools. In these cases, you can refresh the license status by using the Available button. • Expired: The term has already expired for the temporary key. When the status is Expired, you cannot re-install the temporary key.
