The Resource Manager is the core orchestration engine of Ops Center Administrator. It manages jobs, monitors resources, and coordinates operations. Deploying it in an active/passive cluster is essential for high availability, as a failure here would halt most management operations. While the database and repository are important, the Resource Manager’s stateful and active role makes its HA configuration paramount.

Ops Center Analyzer has identified the symptom at the array port level. The most direct next step is to investigate the physical network path. High latency and low throughput at a specific back-end port often point to switch issues (e.g., congestion, errors, misconfiguration) or a faulty physical link (SFP, cable). Diagnosing the SAN switch port is the foundational step before making changes to the storage or host configuration.

To move data based on access time, you must use a schedule-based migration (not real-time auto-tiering) and select the ‘Last Accessed Time’ data selection criterion. Within that criterion, you would set the threshold to ‘older than 90 days’. This creates a policy that periodically evaluates data and migrates only the files meeting the age criteria, which is a classic Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) use case.

Hitachi Ops Center uses device-specific adapters to communicate with different storage models. A G series device adapter will not manage an E series array. You must import and install the correct device adapter package for the specific E series model (e.g., VSP E590, E990) into Ops Center Administrator before it can successfully discover, communicate with, and manage the new hardware.

A Resource Action is the correct component for performing a discrete, reusable operation on a specific type of managed resource (in this case, a storage array or pool). Resource Actions are designed to encapsulate storage operations like ‘Create LUN’, ‘Add Host’, etc., and can be easily dragged and dropped into any workflow. They leverage the built-in integration between Automator and the managed resources in Ops Center.

The Diagnostic Data Bundle (DDB) feature is specifically designed for support readiness. It automatically collects a wide range of relevant logs, configuration files, and event data from the specified resource (the array) at the time of the issue. This bundled, time-correlated data is far more comprehensive for troubleshooting a hardware/RAID issue than a health report or audit log alone.

Ops Center Analyzer’s ‘Save Report’ function allows you to save the report definition (metrics, filters, time range). Once saved, you can add a ‘Saved Report’ widget to a custom dashboard. This widget will display the live, updated data according to the saved definition, providing a persistent and dynamic view rather than a static snapshot.

The Audit Log is the definitive source for security and compliance tracking. It records all user-initiated configuration changes (create, modify, delete), successful and failed logins, and security-related events. Each entry includes a timestamp, the user account, the source IP address, the action performed, and the target object, making it ideal for the requested review.

Proactive monitoring requires actionable warnings before a critical state is reached. Setting a Major alert at 95% provides an early warning, giving administrators time to plan and execute remediation (e.g., adding capacity, deleting old data). A Critical alert at 98% serves as a final, urgent warning before the pool is completely full and potentially causes application downtime. This tiered approach is a standard best practice.
