xiv Preface Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
1 About Storage Navigator Operations This chapter provides an overview of the Storage Navigator functions.
Overview of Storage Navigator The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V and Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM (herein after referred to as USP V/VM) Storage Navigator enables users to remotely manage the storage system. This section describes how the Storage Navigator accesses the storage system. The storage system has a computer called a service processor (SVP) that is used for maintenance.
Storage Navigator Storage System SVP Private LAN Public LAN Private LAN Web Browser Java Application program is running.
• • • 1-4 – You can view the mounted condition of the ports on the Port Status window (see Port Status Window). – You can view the specified values of the LUN, the LDEV, and the port on the Basic Information Display dialog box, which is a different window from the Storage Navigator main window (see Basic Information Display Dialog Boxes). Use program product options and functions – You can remotely operate program product options and functions to the storage system.
User Access Levels To use Storage Navigator, you first need a user account. The user account of Storage Navigator contains the following information. • User ID • User type • Password • Operation authority For Storage Navigator, a user account of user ID “root” is initially set. By default, the operation authority for all functions of Storage Navigator and program product options is given to the root user account. You cannot delete the root user account.
Operation Authority As you set user ID and password when you register a user account, you can also set various types of operation authorities for registered user account. In Storage Navigator, the operation authority might be called “role”. The types of operation authorities that can be set to each user account are as follows.
• – View: If you have this authority, you can download an audit log file by using the button for audit log file download. You can also view the settings on the Syslog window or the Audit Log window, and download the syslog file by using the Syslog window. However, you are not allowed to change the setting of the Syslog window and the Audit Log window. You cannot manually transfer the audit log file by using the Audit Log window either. – Disable: You have no operation authority for the audit log.
Storage Device List The Storage administrator is responsible for registering storage devices with the primary SVP. This information is compiled into the storage device list, which includes information such as device name, IP address or host name, and device location. See Editing the Storage Device List for more details. You can display the storage device list on your Web browser by accessing the URL of the primary SVP which includes an IP address of a host name of the primary SVP.
Primary FTP server Public LAN Transferring audit log Secondary FTP server Storage System Primary syslog sever SVP Transferring audit log Secondary syslog server Downloading syslog file and audit log file Figure 1-2 Storage Navigator computer Overview of the Audit Log Operations You can transfer audit logs to FTP servers or syslog servers after connecting these servers through the LAN to the SVP of the storage system. A maximum of two FTP servers and two syslog servers can be connected to the SVP.
Overview of Configuration File Loader Operations The Configuration File Loader is used to make large-scale or “batch” changes to the configuration of certain program product options, using either a text editor or spreadsheet software to edit configuration definition files (spreadsheet files) and apply the changes to the storage system. You can apply the same spreadsheet file to different storage systems, and you can define the configuration in the spreadsheet when you are offline.
Important Terms and Concepts The Storage Navigator user should be familiar with the following terms and concepts: • Disk controller frame. The USP V/VM storage system has one disk controller frame that controls all data access and storage operations. The USP V/VM storage system provides up to 256 logical control units (CU) and supports 3990-6, 3990-6E, 2105-F20, and 2107 controller emulation types. For USP V/VM program products, a maximum of 255 CUs are available.
• CU (control unit). The USP V/VM storage system supports a maximum of 256 logical CUs numbered sequentially from 00–FF. Each CU controls up to 256 LDEVs. LDEVs within the USP V/VM storage system are accessed by a combination of CU number (00-FF) and device number (00–FF). However, the CU number FF is reserved for the Command Control Interface (CCI) operation. Therefore the CUs that can be used for the USP V/VM program products operation are up to CU number FE.
• Java application program. The USP V/VM Storage Navigator is provided as a Java application program. When a Storage Navigator user accesses and logs in to the desired SVP, the Java application is downloaded from the SVP (Web server) to the Storage Navigator (Java client) computer. The Java application program runs on a Web browser on the Storage Navigator computer. • RMI™ (remote method invocation). RMI is a remote procedure call that allows Java objects stored in the network to be run remotely.

Setting Up Storage Navigator The Hitachi Data Systems representative installs the SVP software and LAN cabling. Document the serial numbers (SNs) and IP addresses of each USP V/VM, because these numbers are required for Storage Navigator operations. It is important to verify that you have a unique IP address for each SVP, to avoid any conflicts. If a conflict occurs, determine the SVP IP addresses of all connected storage systems, and obtain a unique IP address for the desired storage system.
For Internet Explorer, clear the Block pop-ups check box on the bottom of the Privacy dialog box. For Mozilla, clear the Block Pop-up Windows check box. 4. Install Java Runtime Environment (see System Requirements for the appropriate version for your operating system). Download JRE from the Java Web site at http://java.sun.com/products/archive/.
Registering the Primary SVP Host Name If you want to use the host name instead of IP address to specify the SVP in the URL of the Storage Device List, you need to register the host name and IP address to the DNS server, or you need to register them to the host file of the Storage Navigator computer, which is the client PC.
JRE 1.4 For JRE 1.4, you do not need to enable trace and logging because trace and logging are enabled by default. To disable caching and configure proxy setting for the Java execution: 1. Start Java (TM) Plug-in Control Panel. – For Windows: Go to the Windows Control Panel and double-click the Java Plug-in icon. – For UNIX: Do one of the following: Launch the Java (TM) Plug-in Control Panel executable file.

Figure 2-4 Temporary Files Settings Dialog Box (For JRE 6.0) Configuring Communications over only IPv6 Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) can also be used for communications between a Storage Navigator computer and an SVP. To communicate over only IPv6, both a Storage Navigator computer and an SVP must be configured to use only IPv6 for communications. For information on how to configure an SVP, contact the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center (see Calling the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center).
Figure 2-5 • Networking Dialog Box (for Windows Vista) For Solaris 10 To configure a computer to use only IPv6 for communications: 1. Start the console. 2. Execute the following command.
Storage Navigator Conventions General Parameters • On most Storage Navigator windows, if you specify different settings for the values on the window, the text color of that value changes to blue or the icon changes, but the changes are not implemented until you click Apply. Table 2-5 describes the text colors and font types displayed on the Storage Navigator windows.
• When an internal process is being executed on the SVP (for example, a configuration change, option check, or an operational information acquisition), Storage Navigator processing might be temporarily delayed. • If you request a change to the storage system configuration while another change is being made, an error message is displayed. • – If the error occurs while you are logging in or clicking Apply to implement changes, wait for a few minutes, and retry the operation.
Keystrokes and Navigation • Table 2-5 lists and describes the text colors and font types displayed on the Storage Navigator windows. • In general, you can select an object on a window by clicking the mouse. Certain commands can be displayed by right-clicking an object. In some cases you can use the mouse button to drag and drop an item. This is noted in the instructions for each operation. You can sort objects listed in a table by selecting the header of a column you want to sort.
UNIX When you use the Storage Navigator on UNIX workstations, the following additional parameters apply: • • Storage Navigator windows: – You cannot change the window size. – The styles and colors of some windows are displayed differently from those windows displayed on Windows systems. Mozilla browser: – If a java_vm process or a Mozilla browser process becomes hung up, Storage Navigator performance becomes abnormal. Delete the abnormal process and continue with Storage Navigator operations.
– For the first two operations only, the word “Loading...” is displayed on the message dialog box of the Volume Migration window and the Server Priority Manager window. This message does not appear for the third and later operations. • When you use the Storage Navigator on UNIX workstations, you cannot drag and drop objects on the LUN Manager window. You must use the buttons instead.

Starting Up and Logging Into Storage Navigator This section explains overview of login procedure and how to log in to a storage system. Overview of Login Procedures Important: Because the initial user ID "root" has root administrator authority, one of the first tasks for the Storage Navigator root administrator should be to change the password, in order to maintain protection of the rootonly and restricted functions.
Table 2-6 Specifications and Restrictions Concerning Login Operations Item Specification Maximum number of concurrent users The USP V/VM can support up to 32 concurrent users. Logging in to multiple SVPs (Web servers) The same user can concurrently log in to more than one SVP, by opening a storage device list, downloading the Java application program from each SVP, and executing the Java application on separate Web browser windows.
Java Application with Digital Signature （Storage Navigator） Java Application without Digital Signature Accessing Local Files is Enabled with Approval of User Accessing Local Files is not Allowed Local File Figure 2-10 Local File Concept of Java Application Security The figure shows that Storage Navigator with digital signature can access local files with user approval.
• – Start allows you to log in to Storage Navigator (regardless of whether the digital signature is expired). – Details allows you to view detailed information about the Java application. – Exit prohibits you from using Storage Navigator. For JRE 5.0 or JRE 6.0 One of the following dialog boxes will be displayed depending on your operational environment. 2-24 Figure 2-12 Warning - Security Dialog Box (for JRE 5.
The items on these dialog boxes are as follows: – Always trust content from this publisher. Selecting the Always trust content from this publisher check box means that you approve Storage Navigator as a secure Java application and that local file access is ensured from now on (regardless of whether the digital signature is expired).
If the SVP is set to support SSL-encrypted communication, security messages might appear. For details, see Using SSL-Encrypted Communication. If you are using a Windows Server 2003 computer, a message as shown in Figure 2-18 may appear. If this message appears, take the steps described in Using Windows Server 2003. If you are using Windows and the JRE is not installed on the Storage Navigator computer, JRE is automatically installed via the Internet when you log in to Storage Navigator.

The operation mode is in the View mode when you log in to Storage Navigator. • Modify mode locks the setting operation of other users so that the other users cannot change the settings of the storage system.
2. Click the Mode Changing icon, which should be in View mode ( ). Once you are in Modify mode, the Mode Changing icon changes from a gray background to a yellow background ( ), and the Locked icon ( ) is displayed. Also the progress bar that shows the remaining time period for Modify mode is displayed on the Storage Navigator main window (see Extending the Modify Mode Timeout Period). 3. Once you have applied your desired changes, change back to View mode. Click the Mode Changing icon ( ).
• License Key window You can change the default Modify mode timeout period with the RMI timeout period for Modify parameter on the Set Env. dialog box. You have to log in as a storage administrator with the Enable authority of Storage Administrator Role to change the setting of RMI time-out period for Modify. See Setting the Environment Parameters for instructions).
The following table describes the types of license keys: Table 2-7 Type License Key Description Expiration Usable Capacity Temporary License key for trial use (Try & Buy). 120 days No upper limit Permanent License key for purchase. No limit Each program product option has an upper limit of the volume capacity that can be used. License key for purchase. 365 days Each program product option has an upper limit of the volume capacity that can be used.
• For Server Priority Manager, the expiration of a temporary license key has the following effects: – No monitoring functions may be performed. – No new configuration settings (for example, upper limit control, threshold control, or selection of port type) may be performed. – Configuration settings that were made before the temporary license key expired may be expunged from the SVP only (not from the Storage Navigator). Contact your Hitachi Data Systems service representative.
If you add volumes and the available amount of volume capacity exceeds the licensed capacity, Capacity Insufficient will be displayed in Status in the License Key window. In this case, you need to purchase the additional license to cover the capacity shortage within 30 days. For details on the licensed capacity, see Licensed Capacity. If you use Dynamic Provisioning, the licensed capacity might become insufficient even though you did not add any volumes.
This section explains the licensed capacity type and how to estimate the licensed capacity. For details on which licensed capacity type should be estimated for the program product option, see Storage Navigator Options. The licensed capacity has three types: • Used capacity The licensed capacity is calculated from the capacity that the program product option will use.
Storage Navigator Options The following table lists the options for the Storage Navigator and the licensed capacity type. Only some of the Storage Navigator options are available to storage partition administrators. For the available options to storage partition administrators, see the Virtual Partition Manager User’s Guide.
Option Name Licensed Capacity Notes ShadowImage Used capacity If you use V-VOLs of Dynamic Provisioning as P-VOLs or S-VOLs of ShadowImage, the license capacity of ShadowImage will be calculated using the used volume capacity (used pool capacity). Compatible FlashCopy® Used capacity Copy-on-Write Snapshot Used capacity Copy-on-Write Snapshot requires ShadowImage.

5 Using the Storage Navigator CLI This chapter describes Storage Navigator CLI that allows you to perform operations by entering commands from the command line of a Storage Navigator computer (for example, from a Windows command prompt or a UNIX shell prompt).
Overview of Storage Navigator CLI The Storage Navigator CLI enables users to perform operations on the storage system by entering commands at the command line rather than using the Storage Navigator GUI. For the current microprogram version, Universal Replicator for IBM IBM z/OS and Universal Volume Manager support Storage Navigator CLI.
To configure the system To save the configurations Prepare for using Storage Navigator CLI Prepare for configuring the storage system Write spreadsheets Verify the spreadsheets Has any error occurred? Yes No Apply the configurations Figure 5-1 Save the configurations in spreadsheet(s) Operation Procedures Using the Spreadsheets The operations using the spreadsheets include the following steps: • Prepare for using Storage Navigator CLI This step is required when using Storage Navigator CLI for
– The file name ends with "_def_": you need to change the contents before executing commands. For details about templates or configurations, see the documents for program products supporting the Storage Navigator CLI. For general conventions of spreadsheets, see Spreadsheet File Conventions. • Verify the spreadsheets, apply the configurations, and save the configurations in spreadsheet(s) To perform these operations, use the Storage Navigator CLI commands.
Installing Storage Navigator CLI To install Storage Navigator CLI on the Storage Navigator computer: 1. Create a new directory on the Storage Navigator computer to store Storage Navigator CLI. 2. Insert the CD for program products into the CD-ROM drive (For UNIX, mount the CD). 3. Locate the CFLCLITool directory in the CD, and then copy the directory to the newly created directory.
After creating a user authentication file, you must use the security feature of your operating system to set an appropriate access authority to the user authentication file so that only the user who created the file can access the file. If other users can access the file, unauthorized changes might be made into the storage system. To create a user authentication file: 1. Log into a Storage Navigator computer with the user account of the storage administrator. 2.
Make sure that only the user who created the file can access the file. Example: – In this example for Windows, "myAuthentication.txt" is created from the information such as the IP address (158.214.135.127), user ID (root), and password (root). mkatfile 158.214.135.127 root root >myAuthentication.txt – In this example for Windows, "myAuthentication.txt" is created from the information such as the IP address (fe80::20a:e4ff:fe8f:20b5), user ID (root), and password (root).
The following examples show a batch file for the CFLSET command. The " " symbol indicates the end of a command line. For Windows: java -jar -Djava.security.policy=java.policy JSanCLI.jar myAuthentication.txt CFLSET %1 %2 ↵ For UNIX: #! /bin/csh ↵ java -jar -Djava.security.policy=java.policy JSanCLI.jar myAuthentication.
Command Reference The Storage Navigator CLI supports the following commands: Table 5-2 Command Name Storage Navigator CLI Commands Description Operation Authority for Configuration File Loader CFLCHK Checks the spreadsheet. Modify or View CFLGET Saves the storage system configurations in spreadsheet(s). Modify or View CFLSET Applies the configurations in a spreadsheet to the storage system. Modify Only single-byte characters can be specified for a path or file name.
CFLCHK Command Syntax CFLCHKUinput-file-nameUoutput-file-name Description The CFLCHK command verifies the spreadsheet (for example, this command checks whether the spreadsheet is properly formatted or whether the parameters are properly specified). The check result will be saved in the output file that you specify when you execute the CFLCHK command. By executing the CFLCHK command before executing the CFLSET command, you can verify that the spreadsheet has no error.
CFLGET Command Syntax CFLGETUinput-file-nameUoutput-file-directory Description The CFLGET command saves the storage system information requested from the input file in a spreadsheet. Two types of files are stored in the directory. – A file containing the execution result (the file name is "input-filename_Result.spd") – Files containing the storage system information (the names of the files are written in the "input-file-name_Result.
CFLSET Command Syntax CFLSETUinput-file-nameUoutput-file-name Description The CFLSET command applies the configurations in the spreadsheet to the storage system. The execution result will be saved in the output file that you specify when you execute the CFLSET command. It is recommended that you execute the CFLCHK command before executing the CFLSET command.
Spreadsheets This section explains general conventions for creating spreadsheets for use with Storage Navigator CLI. Spreadsheet templates are provided with Storage Navigator for your use. Make a copy of a template and edit it to write a spreadsheet. For details about the template file names, see the documents for program products that support the Storage Navigator CLI. Spreadsheet File Conventions Create a spreadsheet according to the following conventions.
Spreadsheet Components The spreadsheet for use with Storage Navigator consists of the following components: • Declaration • Operation Tags • Parameters • Comments The following figure is an example of a spreadsheet. #!Version 05_02_01,CLI_RemoteCopyJournalMF,Get,; Declaration # # Template for getting UR-MF pair infomation # Specify the serial number of the machine.
Specify the program product that you use a spreadsheet for. • Type Specify the configuration type of a spreadsheet. Operation Tags A tag to label settings (parameters) is required for a spreadsheet. This tag is called an operation tag, which is formatted as a string in square brackets ([ ]). Operation tags are already written in the templates. Operation tags have two types: common operation tags for all program products and program-product-specific operation tags.
The actual parameters depend on the program products. For detailed information about parameters, see the documents for program products that support the Storage Navigator CLI. Comments You can also type comments in a spreadsheet. Comments can consist of any characters in any language. The line that begins with the # character or includes only a linefeed code is recognized as a comment. Do not insert any space or character before the # character.
The following table describes the exported contents. Table 5-5 Exported Contents of the Execution Results Row Description Declaration Indicates the overall result of the spreadsheet. Exported Content Normal end: Finished normally. Warning(xxxx-yyyyy): Errors occurred on some rows. Error(xxxx-yyyyy): Errors occurred on every row. Parameter Indicates the result of the line with a parameter. For the CFLCHK command: Check OK: Finished normally. Check NG(xxxx-yyyyy): An error occurred on this row.
The following example shows execution results when parameters are described in a hierarchy structure. To identify where an error occurred, find the last row with an error. In this example, an error occurred in the second layer that begins with "+,".
