Preface
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. The Storage Navigator accesses the SVP to obtain
storage system configuration and status information, and send user-requested
commands to the storage system. The Storage Navigator consists of a group
of Java™ application programs that run on the Java Virtual Machine™ (JVM™).
The SVP functions as a Web server on the JVM, while the Storage Navigator
functions as a Java client. The Java client that runs the Storage Navigator is
called a Storage Navigator computer.
The Storage Navigator communicates with SVPs on the storage systems via a
local-area network (LAN). The supported interfaces between the Storage
Navigator and the SVP are graphical user interface (GUI) and command line
interface (CLI).
Storage Navigator GUI
The Storage Navigator GUI allows users to perform operations on the storage
system using the Storage Navigator windows displayed on a Web browser.
The SVP contains Java applications that function as the Storage Navigator on
Java clients. Each time you log into the Storage Navigator and connect to the
SVP, a Java application is downloaded from the SVP to the Storage Navigator
computer.
The USP V/VM can be connected to two LANs. The USP V/VM-internal LAN is a
private LAN that is used to connect the SVPs of multiple storage systems. Your
intranet is a public LAN that allows you to access one or more SVPs from
individual Storage Navigator computers. This configuration allows you to easily
access and control the registered storage system. In a SAN environment,
where several storage systems may be connected together, you must
designate a primary SVP, which can be either an SVP connected to a storage
system, or a Web server with the exact same configuration as an SVP (see
The following figure shows an example of Storage Navigator computer and
SVP configuration.

Storage Navigator CLI
The Storage Navigator Command Line Interface (CLI) allows you to perform
commands on the storage system using the command prompt. To use the
Storage Navigator CLI, you need to install certain files on the Storage
Navigator computer.
The current version of the Storage Navigator CLI can be used to perform only
specific operations of specific program products. For details on the Storage
Navigator CLI, see Using the Storage Navigator CLI.

Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. You may register up to 500 user accounts including the
root user account for Storage Navigator.
You have to set user ID, user type and password when you set up a user
account. An operation authority can be set for each registered user account.
To register the user account, or to set an operation authority, use the Account
window. For further information on the procedures of registering the user
account and of setting the operation authority for Storage Navigator, see
Account Window. The following sections describe the user types and the
operation authorities.
User Types
Storage Navigator provides two types of user access levels: storage
administrator and storage partition administrator. You can decide the user
type when you register the user account. The operating range of the storage
system varies by the user type, as described below.
• A storage administrator can operate the entire storage system. Only
storage administrator can perform the Storage Device List, Control
Panel, Audit log-related operations of Storage Navigator, and the Storage
Navigator CLI commands. The root user account, which is the default
Storage Navigator user account, is a kind of storage administrator.
• A storage partition administrator can operate a Storage Management
Logical Partition (SLPR) allocated by Storage Navigator. A storage partition
administrator cannot perform the Storage Device List, Control Panel,
Audit log-related operations of Storage Navigator, and the Storage
Navigator CLI commands.
A storage partition administrator can use only a part of program product
options.
For further information on an SLPR or details of the program product
options that a storage partition administrator can use, see to the Virtual
Partition Manager User's Guide.

Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.
• Account administrator role (user account operation authority)
Account administrator role has the authority to operate the window that
can be used for managing Storage Navigator user accounts.
All users can change their own passwords and view the details of settings
of their own user accounts. However, if you want to change the password
of another user account, or details of settings of other user account, you
need the modification authority of the account administrator role.
You cannot change the account administrator role settings that are set for
the user account of user ID “root”.
For each user account, you may select the following three types of account
administrator role authority:
– Modify: If you have this authority, you can add and delete all user
accounts and change the setting details, except the user ID “root”. The
user account of user ID “root” can change the “root” account password.
However, they cannot change the operational authority for Account
administrator role, because Modify has been set for the user account of
user ID “root”.
– View: If you have this authority, you can view the operation authority
of all user accounts. You cannot add, change and delete the user
accounts. However, you can change your own password.
– Disable: You cannot view or change settings of other user accounts.
However, you can change your password, and view the operation
authorities for your user account.
• Audit log administrator role (audit log operation authority)
Audit log administrator role has the authority to perform the audit log and
to perform the syslog-related operation. You can set the audit log
administrator role for the storage administrator user account.
For each user account, you may select the following three types of audit
log administrator role authority:
– Modify: If you have this authority, you can download an audit log file
by using the button for audit log file download, and configure the FTP
servers and manually transfer the audit log file by using the Audit Log
window. You can also configure the syslog servers and download the
syslog file by using the Syslog window. The operation authority “Modify”
has been set for the user account of user ID “root”.
1-6
About Storage Navigator Operations
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
– 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. You cannot
use the audit log file download button, the Syslog window, and the
Audit Log window.
• Storage administrator role (storage operation authority)
Storage administrator role has the authority to perform the Storage
Device List operation, the operation using program product options and
the operations of Set Env. dialog box. For each user account, you may
select the following two types of storage administrator role authority:
– Enable: You have authority to perform the Storage Device List
operations, the operations using program product options and the
operations for the Set Env. dialog box.
Only the user accounts for which the storage administrator role
authority is set to “Enable” can be used to set the details of the
operation authority for each program product option. The operation
authority “Enable” has been set for the user account of user ID “root”
and for that account “Modify” authority is set for the operations of all
program product options.
– Disable: You do not have authority to perform the Storage Device
List operations, the operations using program product options and Set
Env. dialog box operations. For the operation authority for each
function, the “Modify” authority might be set. However, if “Disable” is
set for the authority of storage administrator role, the operation
authority for each function also will be disabled.
• Operation authority for each function
You can set the operation authority for Storage Navigator or for each
function among the program product options. To set the operation
authority of functions for each user account, set “Enable” for the storage
administrator role. For each user account, you may select the following two
types of operation authority.
– Modify: You can perform the operations of each function.
– View: You can view the window for each function. However, you cannot
perform the operation.

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
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. If you want to specify a host name instead of IP address, you
need to register a host name. For details on registering a host name, see
Overview of Audit Logs
The Audit Log function allows you to record the access and configuration
changes made to your storage system. The audit log can be used to
investigate when an incorrect setup is performed or when a trouble occurs in
the storage system.
You can view the audit log by:
– Transferring the audit log to FTP servers
– Transferring the audit log to syslog servers
– Downloading the audit log to the Storage Navigator computer
You can download two files with different formats to the Storage Navigator
computer. The file that has the same format as the audit log transferred to
syslog servers is called syslog file. The file that has the same format as the
audit log transferred to FTP servers is called audit log file.
The following figure shows an overview of the audit log operations.

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. The
first one is named primary FTP server or primary syslog server. The second
one is named secondary FTP server or secondary syslog server.
The audit log is stored in the SVP. Older data is deleted from the audit log file
when the number of lines of saved data reaches a maximum quantity.
If you configure FTP server settings, the audit log will be automatically
transferred to the FTP server when the number of lines in the file reaches
the threshold.
If you configure syslog server settings, the audit log will be always transferred
to the syslog server.
To transfer the audit log to servers, configure server settings using the Syslog
window or the Audit Log window. Please see the Audit Log Reference Guide for
how to configure server settings in each window.

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

Overview of SSL-Encrypted Communications
In order to improve security of remote operations from a Storage Navigator to
a storage system, you can set up SSL-encrypted communication. By setting
SSL-encrypted communication, the User ID and Password required for logging
in to the Storage Navigator are encrypted, and you can have a higher level of
security for the communication.
For detailed information on the SSL-encrypted communication, see the
Encrypted communications User's Guide.
You need to change the SVP (Web server) to Apache, which supports SSL, in
order to perform SSL-encrypted communication. The Hitachi Data Systems
service personnel will do the operation to change the SVP to the SSL-
supported Apache.

About Storage Navigator Operations
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.
Note: The 3990-3 and 2105-E20 controller emulation types are not
supported.
• Logical disk controller frame (LDKC). The USP V/VM storage system
controls CUs in groups of 256. This group is called a logical disk controller
frame (LDKC). There is one LDKC for the USP V/VM storage system and the
LDKC is numbered zero (0).
One LDKC controls up to 256 CUs, however, only 255 CUs are available for
the USP V/VM program products. Therefore, up to 65,280 volumes are
available for the USP V/VM program products.
• Disk array frame. The disk array frame of the storage system contains
the storage components (hard disk drive arrays).
• Parity group. A parity group (also called array group) is a set of hard disk
drives that are treated as one group. For example, a RAID-5 3D+1P parity
group consists of four disk drives (3 data and 1 parity). A parity group
contains both user data and parity information, and the parity information
is used to automatically reconstruct the user data if one of the disk drives
in the parity group becomes unavailable.
• LDEV (logical device). The USP V/VM storage system supports a
maximum of 65,536 LDEVs. However, up to 65,280 volumes are available
for the USP V/VM program products.
An LDEV can be called a volume. An LDEV used by mainframe hosts can be
called a device, logical volume image (LVI). An LDEV used by open-system
hosts can be called a device (for example, SCSI disk device, raw device) or
a logical unit (LU).
Note: Only up to 32,640 LDEVs are available for some of the USP V/VM
functions or program products.
• LU (logical unit). An LDEV used by open-system hosts is called an LU. An
open-system LU on fibre-channel interface can be mapped to one or more
LDEVs.
About Storage Navigator Operations
1-11
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
• 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. This means that the
number of CUs that can be used for the USP V/VM program products
operation are 255 per LDKC at the maximum.
The following table shows the example of the device numbers for CU.

Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. You can also contact the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center
for assistance in assigning IP addresses.
Configuring the Web Browser
To connect to the desired USP V/VM SVP and use the Storage Navigator Java
application program, a Web browser is required on the Storage Navigator
computer. How to configure your Web browser may differ depending on the
version of your OS or your Web browser. For details on how to configure your
Web browser, please refer to the online help for your Web browser.
Caution: Do not access any unreliable Web sites from your Storage Navigator
computer.
To configure your Web browser:
1. Make sure that the Storage Navigator computer is connected to a network
via a LAN.
Caution: Using a modem for network connections is not supported.
2. Make sure that cookies are enabled on the browser.
For Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options from the menu bar
of the Web browser, and then click the Privacy tab. Click Advanced in the
middle of the Privacy dialog box. In the Advanced Privacy Settings dialog
box, configure as follows:
– Check the override automatic cookie handling option

Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.
Register the host name to the DNS server or the hosts file as follows:
• DNS setting: Register the IP address and host name of the SVP to the DNS
server that manages the network to which the SVP is connected.
• Hosts file setting: Add the IP address and host name of the SVP to the host
file of the Storage Navigator computer. The general directory of the hosts
file is as follows:
– Windows XP: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
– UNIX: /etc/hosts
You can register any host name to DNS server or the hosts file, but there are
restrictions on the letters you can use for the host name (see Storage Device
If you acquire the public key certificate for the SSL-encrypted communication
from the CA (Certificate Authority), you will need to register the server name,
which is entered to the certificate as Common Name, as the host name to the
DNS server or the hosts file. For the SSL-encrypted communication, see the
Encrypted communications User's Guide.
Configuring Java
This section describes the procedures to configure Java for each JRE version.
You need to configure Java to enable trace and logging to save the Java log
file when an application error occurs in the Storage Navigator computer. Also,
to prevent unexpected complications when the microprogram is updated, we
recommend that you disable caching.
Caution: To allow Storage Navigator to access the SVP via a proxy server
using HTTP, set the proxy server on your Web browser. After the setting,
Storage Navigator accesses the SVP using the proxy server.
If you have set the SVP as an exception on the proxy setting of the Web
browser, it means that the proxy server is not used for accessing the SVP. In
this case, make the setting for Java the same as the Web browser setting.

• 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.
– If the error occurs while you are either switching between Modify mode
and View mode, or switching tabs, wait for a few minutes then click
Refresh ( ) on the File menu and retry the operation.
• If you remain in Modify mode for a certain period of time without making
any changes (the default is 30 minutes), the storage system releases the
Modify mode, and you are returned to View mode. You can also change
the timeout period. After the Modify mode is released, the error occurs
with the following timing: clicking Apply, Refresh ( ) on the File menu,
Refresh All ( ) on the File menu, or mode changing buttons (

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 root-
only and restricted functions. If you are logging in to Storage Navigator for the
first time, use the initial user ID (root) and password (root) to log in as a
storage administrator, and then change the password. Note that you cannot
change the user name for the root user ID. All user IDs and passwords are
case-sensitive. If the root administrator password is lost or forgotten, you
must call the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center in order to regain access to
the restricted functions.
All USP V/VM Storage Navigator (Java client) users are required to log in to
the Storage Navigator SVP (Web server) with a valid user ID and password
before executing the Storage Navigator Java application program. A storage
administrator with the Account Administrator Role set to Modify can
register the Storage Navigator user accounts (see Account Window).
The following figure shows an overview of the log in process.

The USP V/VM can support up to 32 concurrent users.
The exceptions are displaying the Performance Monitor window
and executing the Export Tool, where the limit is two 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.
If you execute multiple Java application programs for multiple
SVPs, insufficient memory may degrade performance.
Logging in to the same SVPs
(Web servers) more than once
concurrently
The same user (ID) may not have multiple concurrent sessions
with the same SVPs (Web servers).
Security measure
If you have failed to log in three times with the same user ID,
Storage Navigator stops replying for one minute. However, it is
not a system failure.
Login history
All login information, including user ID, login and logoff time, is
recorded in the audit log file, so that unauthorized access can be
detected.
Automatic logout operation
In case a user cannot normally log out, you can set the user to
be automatically logged out from the SVP after a specific period
of time. This period of time can be specified by the storage
administrator with the Storage Administrator Role set to
Enable.
Permission for Accessing Local Client Files
Java applications have a security feature that prohibits the Java applications
from accessing local files on client computers. To use Storage Navigator, you
must give Storage Navigator permission to access local files on your computer.

Changing Between View Mode and Modify Mode
Storage Navigator has two modes of operation: Modify mode and View
mode.
• View mode is for viewing the settings of the storage system. 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.
You must operate in the Modify mode to change the settings of the
storage system. You also need the operation authority of the function to
change the settings of the storage system. For detailed information on
setting the operation authority, see Changing User Operation Authority.
Only one user can be in the Modify mode for each storage system. While a
storage administrator is in the Modify mode, all other users can only view the
storage system information in the View mode. If the storage system is
partitioned, only one user can be in the Modify mode for each SLPR. Any
other users in the allocated SLPR can only view the storage system
information in the View mode. Some dialog boxes are not displayed in View
mode. To view such information in View mode, view the Basic Information

timeout period is 30 minutes. You can click the Reset button on the right of
the progress bar to extend the Modify mode time period. For example, if the
Modify mode timeout period is set as 30 minutes (default), the Modify mode
time period is extended for 30 minutes, as you click the Reset button.
If you do not access the SVP while in Modify mode, the progress bar
decreases. When you reach the specified Modify mode timeout period,
Modify mode is released.
Note: If Modify mode is released due to time out, the settings made but not
yet applied to the storage system will be canceled on some windows.
Therefore, make sure that you have enough time remaining in Modify mode
to complete your work by clicking Reset while you are using the following

License Keys
A license key is a textual key that functions as a password, because it is
entered into Storage Navigator and unlocks the protection of an option.
Because each license key is generated with a storage system serial number
and option ID input, each storage system requires a unique license key code.
License key codes for each option (including the Java application) and storage
system are provided when you purchase program product options.
To input license key, enter a license key code or a license key file which the
multiple license key codes are written in. The license key file is provided when
you purchase program product options.

Temporary Key
A temporary key is for trial use. 75 days after the temporary license key is
installed (or when there are 45 days left before the expiration), a warning
message is displayed on the Storage Navigator main window when you start
the Storage Navigator option. 120 days after the temporary license key is
installed, the temporary license key expires. A message that warns the user of
the expiration of the license key is displayed, and the license key expiration is
also reported to the host. After the temporary key has expired, you cannot re-
install the temporary key for 180 days.
• When the license key of a program product expires, the license key of the
program product which requires the expired program product will be also
disabled.
• For TrueCopy for IBM z/OS, TrueCopy, ShadowImage for IBM z/OS,
ShadowImage and LUN Manager, the expiration of a temporary license key
has the following effects:
– No new configuration settings may be performed.
– The configuration settings that were made before the temporary license
key expired remain in effect and cannot be deleted. Non-configuration
settings that were made before the temporary license key expired can
be deleted from the SVP only (not from the Storage Navigator).
• For Virtual LVI/LUN, LUN Expansion, Cache Residency Manager for IBM
z/OS, Cache Residency Manager, Compatible PAV , and Compatible Hyper
PAV, the expiration of a temporary license key has the following effects:
– No new configuration settings may be performed.
– The configuration settings that were made before the temporary license
key expired remain in effect and cannot be deleted.

Installation Requirements and Procedures
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
• 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.
Permanent Key
A permanent key is purchased if you want to use program product options
indefinitely. A permanent key has an upper limit of volume capacity that can
be used for each program product option.
Before purchasing the permanent key, you need to estimate the volume
capacity that can be used for the program product option. This volume
capacity is called the licensed capacity. 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
If you use Dynamic Provisioning, the licensed capacity might become
insufficient even though you did not add any volumes. When you use Dynamic
Provisioning, see the Dynamic Provisioning User’s Guide for details on the
license capacity.
Term Key
A term key is purchased if you want to use the program product option for
specified days.
• The term key is available for 365 days.
• You can set the term key to enable or to disable for each program product
option.
Only days when the program product option is enabled with the Term key
are deducted from 365 days when the date changes.
For example, if the term key is set enable for 150 days and set disable for
100 days since you installed the license key, the remaining days are 215
days, which is calculated by 365 minus 150, although 250 days have
passed in total.
You can save the expiration of the term key by setting the term key to
disable when you are not using the program product option.
• The term key, as same as the permanent key, has a limit of the volume
capacity that can be used for each program product option.
Installation Requirements and Procedures
2-33
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. When you use
Dynamic Provisioning, see the Dynamic Provisioning User’s Guide for
details on the license capacity.
• If the term key has expired, you can install program product option with
another license key.
When the term key has expired, Not Installed is displayed in the Status
in the License Key window. You can install the temporary key, the term key,
the emergency key, or the permanent key to the program product option in
this status.
• When the license key of a program product (A) expires, the license key of
the program product (B) which requires the expired program product (A)
will be also disabled.
In this case, Not Enough is displayed in the Status of the program
product (B) in the License Key window.
Emergency Key
An emergency license key is used in situations where the temporary key or the
term key is set to expire in the near future and the user 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). An emergency key may also be used when a user who does
not intend to purchase the option needs to undo a configuration change that
was made during the lifetime of the temporary key or the term key.
• An emergency key is effective for 30 days.
If you forcibly install an emergency key to an option that has already the

days.
• When the license key of a program product expires, the license key of the
program product which requires the expired program product will be also
disabled.
Licensed Capacity
The licensed capacity is volume capacity which you are licensed to use with
the program product option. You need to estimate the amount of volume
capacity which you want to use with the program product option before you
purchase the permanent key or the term key. The licensed capacity has three
types depending on the program product option.
2-34
Installation Requirements and Procedures
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. See below for how to calculate the licensed
capacity
• Mounted Capacity
The licensed capacity is calculated from the capacity mounted in the entire
disk drive of the storage system. For details on how to calculate the
licensed capacity, contact the Hitachi Data Systems service personnel.
• Unlimited Capacity
You can use the program product option regardless of the volume capacity.
The following explains how to calculate the licensed capacity based on the
used capacity. The method for calculating volume capacity depends on volume
emulation types.
Table 2-8
Methods for Calculating Capacity of a Volume

Formula for Calculating Capacity of a Volume
3380-x
3390-x
OPEN-x
720 KB × (The number of user cylinders)

Same as the capacity that you specified when
creating the volume.
Note: In the left column of this table, "x" indicates a number or a letter. For example,
OPEN-x refers to emulation types such as OPEN-3 and OPEN-V.
You can use the formulae in Table 2-8 to estimate capacity for purchase. An
example is given below:

Syslog Window
The Syslog window allows you to configure syslog servers to transfer the audit
log or download a syslog file to Storage Navigator computer.
UDP is required for transferring the audit log to syslog servers. To transfer the
audit log to syslog servers, consider the characteristics of UDP when you
design a network. For detailed information on syslog, refer to the RFC3164
published by IETF.
Only the storage administrator can configure a syslog server for transferring
audit log or download the syslog file. Before a syslog server can be configured,
the Audit Log Administrator Role needs to be set to Modify for that
storage administrator's user account. If the Audit Log Administrator Role is
set to View, the storage administrator can view the Syslog window and
download the syslog file, but not change settings of the Syslog window. For
the procedure on how to change settings in the Syslog window, see the Audit
Log User and Reference Guide.
To open the Syslog window, log into the Storage Navigator, and then select
Go, Security and Syslog from the menu bar of the Storage Navigator main
window. A storage partition administrator cannot display the Syslog window.

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).
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
5-1
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.
The Storage Navigator CLI has the following advantages compared to using
the Storage Navigator GUI:
• Batch processing
The Storage Navigator CLI shortens the operation time because it does not
involve any interactive user operation. This benefits users when large-scale
changes are required to the storage system.
• Interoperability with other programs
The Storage Navigator CLI provides the commands that allow you to:
– save storage system configuration in a CFL spreadsheet
– change storage system configuration by using a CFL spreadsheet
– check a CFL spreadsheet before applying configuration to the storage
system
You can assemble these commands in your batch/script files such as
Windows batch files or UNIX shell scripts.
• Checking function
The Storage Navigator CLI provides the checking command. If a CFL
spreadsheet has an error, you can easily find out what is the problem with
the spreadsheet by looking at the checking results in the CFL spreadsheet.
Storage Navigator CLI Operations
The Storage Navigator CLI enables you to:
• configure the storage system by using a spreadsheet
• save the storage system configurations in spreadsheet(s)
The following figure describes these operation procedures:

Figure 5-1
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 first time.
• Prepare for configuring the storage system
Some program products require preparation of the storage system using
the Storage Navigator windows, before actually applying the configuration
using spreadsheets. For details, see the documents for program products
supporting the Storage Navigator CLI.
• Write spreadsheets
Spreadsheet templates are provided for each program product. Make a
copy of the template, and modify the copy of the spreadsheet template to
define the storage system configuration. Change the file name so that the
file name is 32 characters or less including the extension.
The template files are divided into two types:
– The file name ends with "_def": you can use the file without changing
the contents.
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
5-3
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
– 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.
Preparing for using Storage Navigator CLI
This section describes the preparation for using Storage Navigator CLI.
Requirements for Storage Navigator CLI
Using the Storage Navigator CLI requires the following:
• Storage Navigator program product
• Storage administrators with the following operation authority:
– Storage administrator role: Enable
– Configuration File Loader permission: Modify or View (depending on
which command to execute)
Storage partition administrators cannot perform Storage Navigator CLI
commands.
• JAR file for Storage Navigator CLI
A JAR file for Storage Navigator CLI is stored in the CD for program
• Java security policy file
You need a file called Java.policy to use the Storage Navigator CLI. The
Java.policy file is stored in the CD for program products. See Changing
Java Security Policy for details.
• User authentication file
Storage Navigator CLI users must create a user authentication file. When
multiple users use Storage Navigator CLI, a user authentication file is
create the file.
• Spreadsheet software or a text editor (Microsoft Excel is recommended)
5-4
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.
The newly created directory (referred to as the CLI installation directory)
contains the following files and subdirectories:
• CFLCLITool\JSanCLI.jar: The Storage Navigator CLI JAR file
• CFLCLITool\java.policy: A Java policy file used for Storage Navigator CLI
• CFLCLITool\sample\: Batch files used for executing commands.
• CFLCLITool\template\: Templates for spreadsheets.
Changing Java Security Policy
The Java security policy needs to be changed to execute the Storage Navigator
CLI commands. To change the policy, do one of the following:
• Use the policy file that Storage Navigator CLI provides as a user policy file
If you use this policy file, the security policy changes only when you
execute the Storage Navigator CLI commands. The policy file is stored in
the CLI installation directory.
• Edit the default policy file (java.policy)
Add the following description in the Java policy file (java.policy):
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
For details about the policy file, refer to the Java documentation.
Creating a User Authentication File
A user authentication file is an encrypted file containing a user ID and a
password. To start Storage Navigator CLI, a user authentication file is required
for each user. Before using Storage Navigator CLI, users must create a user
authentication file by using a command. This section explains how to create a
user authentication file.
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
5-5
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. Copy a batch file for executing a command to the same directory as
JSanCLI.jar.
If the operating system of your Storage Navigator computer is Windows,
copy the file whose extension is ".bat". If it is UNIX, copy the file whose
extension is ".sh".
Copy source:
\CLI-installed-directory\CFLCLITool\sample\mkatfile.bat
\CLI-installed-directory\CFLCLITool\sample\mkatfile.sh
Copy destination:
\CLI-installed-directory\CFLCLITool\
3. If your operating system is UNIX and a shell program is installed in a
directory other than "/bin", modify the batch file that you copied earlier.
Open the batch file and change "#! /bin/csh" in the first line to the
directory that a shell program is installed (such as /usr/bin/csh).
4. Start the command prompt and then move to the following directory.
\CLI-installed-directory\CFLCLITool\
5. Execute the batch file in the following format. For UNIX, enter ".sh" after
mkatfile (that is, mkatfile.sh).
mkatfileUSVP-ip-addressUuser-idUpassword > myAuthentication.txt
Specify the following items:
– SVP-ip-address: specify the IP address of the SVP. To use an IPv6
address, enclose the IPv6 address in square brackets [ ] .
– user-id: specify the user ID of the storage administrator.
– password: specify the password of the storage administrator.
When you execute the command, a user authentication file named
"myAuthentication.txt" is created in the current directory.
You can rename this user authentication file. Only single-byte characters
can be specified for the file name. Extension must be ".txt". If you rename
the file, you need to change the name of the user authentication file
written in the batch file.
6. Set an appropriate access authority to the user authentication file that you
created.
5-6
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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).
mkatfile [fe80::20a:e4ff:fe8f:20b5] root root >myAuthentication.txt
Modifying a Batch File
The batch files provided by Storage Navigator to be used for executing the
Storage Navigator CLI commands can be manually modified, if necessary. The
batch files are as follows:
Table 5-1
Batch Files for Executing the Storage Navigator CLI
Commands
Directory
CFLCLITool\sample
File Name
cflchk
Description
a batch file for the CFLCHK command.
a batch file for the CFLGET command.
a batch file for the CFLSET command.
cflget
cflset
Before executing the Storage Navigator CLI commands, copy the batch files
provided by Storage Navigator to the CFLCLITool directory (the same directory
as JSanCLI.jar), and then modify the file if necessary. The file with the ".bat"
extension is for Windows, and the file with the ".sh" extension is for UNIX.
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
5-7
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.txt CFLSET 1 2
↵
The following items may need to be changed in some cases:
• The installation directory of a shell program
If your operating system is UNIX and a shell program is installed in a
directory other than "/bin", you need to change "#! /bin/csh" in the first
line to the installation directory of a shell program (such as /usr/bin/csh).
• The user authentication file name
If you rename the user authentication file, you need to change
"myAuthentication.txt" to the file name that you specified.
When you store the user authentication file in a directory other than
"CFLCLITool" (for example, user's home directory), you need to specify the
relative or absolute path. Only single-byte characters can be specified for a
path or file name. No double-byte characters can be specified.
The termination codes that Storage Navigator CLI returns when a batch file is
executed are as follows:
– 0: The command finished successfully.
– other than 0: The command finished abnormally (An error occurred).
If you want to use a reference to a termination code in your batch file, do the
following:
– For a Windows batch file, write %errorlevel% in the batch file.
– For a UNIX Bourne shell script, write %? in the shell script.
– For a UNIX C shell script, write %status in the shell script.
The following example is a reference to a termination code used in a Windows
batch file. When this batch file is executed and Storage Navigator CLI returns
the termination code other than 0, the command prompt displays a message
indicating the command failed. When this batch file is executed and Storage
Navigator CLI returns the termination code 0, the command prompt displays a
message indicating the command finished successfully.
java -Djava.security.policy=java.policy -jar JSanCLI.jar myAuthentication.txt CFLGET %1 %2
↵
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 echo COMMAND FAILED. ↵
if %errorlevel% EQU 0 echo COMMAND SUCCESSFUL. ↵

Declaration
The declaration is required at the beginning of a spreadsheet. You need to
change some items in the declaration because some items in the declaration
differ depending on the program products you use or the settings you
configure in a spreadsheet. For details, see the documents for program
products that support the Storage Navigator CLI.
• Format (variables are shown in italics):
#!Version Version number,Program product,Type,;
• Example:
#!Version 05_02_01,CLI_RemoteCopyJournalMF,Get,;
The following items of the declaration need to be changed. Do not change
anything else.
• Version number
Specify the spreadsheet version number. A single-byte space is required
between "#!Version" and the version number.
• Program product
5-14
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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. For details on common
operation tags, see the documents for program products that support the
Storage Navigator CLI.
Operation tags have the following characteristics:
• At least one program-product-specific operation tag is required in a
spreadsheet.
• Common operation tags must be written first (before program-product-
specific operation tags are written).
An error occurs if program-product-specific operation tags are written
before common operation tags.
• Some combinations of operation tags cannot be used in the same
spreadsheet.
In this case, you need to prepare multiple spreadsheets. For details, see
the documents for program products that support the Storage Navigator
CLI.
Parameters
You can specify the configuration of the storage system as a parameter. Each
parameter must be separated with a comma ( , ). A semicolon ( ; ) is required
at the end of the line where a parameter is written. Note that a comma is
required as separator even before the semicolon.
An example of writing a parameter is as follow:
[SerialNumber]
65536,;
Parameters might be written in a hierarchy structure for a certain program
product. The identifier (+) is required at the beginning of a line, and must
appear in the following order:
1. +,
2. +,+,
3. +,+,+,
Using the Storage Navigator CLI
5-15
Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V/VM Hitachi Storage Navigator User’s Guide
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.
Common Operation Tags
Operation tags are divided into two types: common operation tags for all
program products and program-product-specific operation tags. For program-
product-specific operation tags, see the documents for program products that
support the Storage Navigator CLI.
SerialNumber Tag
The SerialNumber tag, which is a common operation tag, allows you to verify
that the serial number in the spreadsheet matches the serial number of the
storage system. It is recommended that you write the SerialNumber tag to
prevent possible misuses of spreadsheets.
