You can access the storage system using the Hitachi Storage Navigator web user interface running on the SVP. A management client that meets the criteria can be used to connect to the SVP. Learn to set up a management client and log in to your storage system.

Initial setup of the management client

The management client is the computer used to log in to and manage your storage system. The management client is LAN-attached to the storage system and communicates with the service processor (SVP). You can use Hitachi Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) as well as other management software such as Hitachi Ops Center Administrator to manage your storage system.

Workflow for setting up the management client

Before you can start managing the storage system, you must set up a management client to use the management software for your storage system. Perform the following tasks to set up the management client for use of Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN).

Confirm that the management client meets the hardware and software requirements for running HDvM - SN (Requirements for management clients).
Configure the management client to connect through a firewall (Connecting through a firewall).
Set up IPv4/IPv6 communications on the management client (Setting up IPv4/IPv6 communications).
Register the primary SVP host name on the management client (Registering the SVP host name).
Configure the web browser on the management client (Configuring the web browser on the management client).
For a management client running Windows, add the SVP to the trusted sites zone (Adding your SVP to the trusted sites zone for Windows Server computers).
Enable JavaScript for Windows (Enabling JavaScript for Windows).
Install Storage Device Launcher on the management client (Installing Storage Device Launcher on the management client). Storage Device Launcher is required to use HDvM - SN with Adobe AIR from HARMAN.
Configure the management client for the HDvM - SN secondary window (Configuring the management client for the HDvM - SN secondary window).

Requirements for management clients

The Device Manager - Storage Navigator administrator is responsible for setting up management clients. Device Manager - Storage Navigator runs on supported versions of the Windows and UNIX/Linux operating systems. If you use a physical or virtual server running on Windows as a management client, you must configure the server to run Device Manager - Storage Navigator.

General requirements

The management client must be connected to the network via LAN. Device Manager - Storage Navigator connects to the SVP through a TCP/IP network.
Use category 5e or 6a LAN cable for LAN connections when the transfer speed is 1 Gbps. Maximum cable length is 328 feet (100 meters). For assistance, contact customer support.
Several storage systems can be managed by one management client. Device Manager - Storage Navigator must be set up for each storage system.
A maximum of 32 management clients (Device Manager - Storage Navigator) can access the same storage system at the same time.

UNIX:Enter tar zxvf WCLauncher_unix.tgz to expand the file. In the directory to which the file was expanded, enter sudo sh and setupunix.sh to run the shell script. If the SVP certificate has been updated, run SecurityToolUnix.sh to register the root certificate or self-signed certificate for the SVP.

NoteWhen you execute Web Console Launcher, Java8 is disabled.

Next steps

Each time you open the HDvM - SN secondary window with Java 11 or later, you must enable the .jnlp file using Web Console Launcher.

CautionDo not delete or move the WCLauncher_win folder. This folder contains files required to run Web Console Launcher.

Verifying the SVP server certificate

If you updated the initial SVP certificate, you can verify whether the connection destination is correct by registering the server certificate or self-signed certificate for the SVP on the Device Manager - Storage Navigator (HDvM - SN) management client. When verification is enabled, if verification fails, the communication is interrupted, and starting the HDvM - SN secondary window fails. Even when verification is disabled, verification processing is performed. In this case, if verification fails, a confirmation window appears indicating the following message:

The certificate security verification for the TLS communication cannot be performed. Are you sure you want to stop the certificate security verification to continue the connection?

After you click Confirm, the communication continues.

If the server certificate registered on the SVP is a signed public key certificate issued by a Certificate Authority (CA), register the root certificate of the CA on the HDvM - SN management client. If the server certificate is a self-signed certificate, register the server certificate registered on the SVP onto the HDvM - SN management client. A certificate that can be registered on the HDvM - SN management client is in X509 PEM or X509 DER format.


Verification item	What is verified?	Note
Validity period verification	Verifies whether the server certificate is within the validity period.	Before you verify the validity, ensure that the validity period for the server certificate registered on the SVP is not expired.
Revocation verification	Verifies whether the server certificate is not invalidated by using the CRL (list of digital certificates that were invalidated before the expiration date) or OCSP (online check).	You need a network environment in which the CRL repository or OCSP responder can be accessed from the HDvM - SN management client.
SAN/CN verification	Verifies whether the host name (including FQDN) or IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) that is specified for SAN (Subject Alternative Name: additional name that is an extension of CN) or CN (Common Name) in the server certificate is the same as the connection destination.	The host name or IP address of the SVP that you specify as the connection destination on the HDvM - SN management client must be contained in SAN or CN in the server certificate registered on the SVP. For the IP address, specify the IP address displayed in the HDvM - SN main window.
Certificate chain verification	Verifies whether the root certificate, intermediate certificates, and server certificate are correctly associated with each other in the certificate chain.	If the sever certificate is signed by an intermediate CA, all intermediate certificates including the server certificate must be registered in the certificate to be registered on the SVP.

Caution

If you did not update the initial SVP certificate, disable the verification function to continue the communication as it did before.

If you enable the verification function, verification fails, the communication is interrupted, and starting the HDvM - SN secondary window fails.
