Introduction 13


Introduction

This chapter provides an overview of the Hitachi Server Adapter for Microsoft System Center Orchestrator.

Overview

Architecture

14 Introduction


Overview

Hitachi Server Adapter for Microsoft System Center Orchestrator (SCO) is an add-in for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2– Orchestrator. The Adapter

extends SCO functionality to include management of specific Hitachi server systems.

Microsoft® System Center 2012 R2– Orchestrator is a GUI-based workflow management solution for the data center. SCO creates integrated processes by allowing you to assemble individual operations, called

activities, within the SCO Runbook Designer. You can then join activities together into a process, called a runbook.

The Hitachi Server Adapter for Microsoft System Center Orchestrator uses the SCO icons and puts them together in manageable workflows to provide the information and instructions to control the sequence of activities in the

runbook. The product requires no special scripting knowledge.

SCO Components

The Adapter implementation consists of the following components:

Microsoft System Center 2012

Runbook Designer. Designs, runs, and manages the activities in the Hitachi SCO Adapter.

Runbook Server. Hosts the Runbook Designer and runs the runbook instances.

Runbook Deployment Wizard. Deploys the Hitachi Server Integration Pack file on the Runbook Server.

Management Server. A communication interface between the Runbook Designer and the Orchestration database.

Hitachi PowerShell Storage Adapter

Activity Components

Action Description

Add Adding a server or chassis to a workflow is like

registering it. Once you specify the various parameters, according to required fields and your needs, call on those features that the parameters

represent and allow the adapter to identify. You can then use Get activities for specific runbook tasks

using the server or chassis you have already registered.

Get Get activities allow you to quickly place components like servers, power supplies, or switches into your

workflows. Get activities are often subcomponents of servers and chassis that you registered and also can be the servers and chassis themselves.

Set Set activities act as toggle switches for components such as lights and power.

Activity Configuration

To configure an activity, follow these steps:

1. From the Activities pane, drag an activity icon to the active runbook.

2. Double-click the icon. The Properties dialog box opens.

3. Configure the activity using the Details tab.

4. In the Connection section, click the ellipsis button (...), and then

select the Configuration Manager Server connection that you want to use for this activity. Click OK.

5. In the Fields section, enter a value for each of the required properties. If the property is Lookup-enabled, you can click the ellipsis (…) button next to the text box to browse for a value.

You can also use the published data to automatically populate the value of the property from the data output by a previous activity in the runbook.

For information about the settings on the General and Run Behavior tabs, see Common Configuration Instructions for All Activities.

6. Click Finish.

The DebugLevel can have one of these values: MINIMAL, NORMAL, or VERBOSE.

116

Log Rotation

Multiple log generation and rotation of the adapter log files create multiple Hitachi Storage Integration Pack logs.

The log generation and rotation of the adapter log files allows you to

Log the multiple processes to the same file

Determine the maximum number of consecutive files by using your specified parameter or a system default

Rotate the current or active log file by incrementing the log file name, appending consecutive numbers that start from zero to a user-specified limit or a system default

Log the entries that are written to a temporary file when the log file is locked at the time of the rotation. The backup file is created and rotation stops. After the log file is unlocked, rotation

continues, but the temporary files are not deleted.

Specify a maximum log file size in HiLogger.config by creating

a key call [MaxFileSize] in a separate line. The minimum value

is 5 MB. The maximum value is 100 MB.

If [MaxFileSize] is not specified in HiLogger.config, the

default value is 10 MB.

If [MaxFileSize] is out of range, the value is the default of

10 MB.

Specify a maximum backup log file in HiLogger.config by

creating a key call [MaxBackupIndex] in a separate line.

MaxBackupIndex minimum value is 1, and the maximum value is 255.

If [MaxBackupIndex] is not specified in HiLogger.config, the

default value is 5.

If [MaxBackupIndex] value is out of range, it defaults to 5.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes, in a Runbook, activities run twice, although the activity

is supposed to run only once. Why?

HDP

Hitachi dynamic provisioning pool

HDP Pool

Consists of one or more dedicated RAID groups. Up to 50 DP pools in the AMS 2100 and 64 DP pools in the AMS2300/2500 are allowed. Each pool requires a unique pool ID.

Hitachi Dynamic Provisioning (HDP)

Advanced thin-provisioning software product that provides Virtual Storage Capacity to simplify administration and addition of storage,

eliminate application service interruptions, and reduce costs.

HDP Optimization

An HDP pool can be optimized by rebalancing each HDP-VOL’s allocated pool capacity evenly across each of the RAID groups. This is particularly effective after adding a RAID group to the HDP pool.

HDP Pool Capacity

Amount of total capacity assigned to a given HDP pool

130

HDP Pool Capacity Threshold

Initial warning levels of high pool utilizations upon early (default 40%) and depletion (50%) conditions.

HDP-VOL

A virtual LU that consumes and maps storage space for areas of the LU that have had data written to them. In HDP, it is required to associate the HDP-VOL with a HDP pool. The HDP-VOL needs to specify a HDP

pool ID, HDP-VOL logical capacity, and HDP-VOL number. Many HDP-VOLs can be defined for on HDP pool. A given HDP-VOL cannot be

defined to multiple DP pools.

Q

R

RAID

Redundant array of inexpensive disks

RAID Group

A redundant array of inexpensive drives (RAID) that have the same capacity and are treated as one group for data storage and recovery. A RAID group contains both user data and parity information, which

allows the user data to be accessed if one or more of the drives within the RAID group are not available. The RAID level of a RAID group

determines the number of data drives and parity drives and how the data is striped across the drives. For RAID1, user data is duplicated within the RAID group, so there is no parity data for RAID1 RAID

groups.

A RAID group can also be called an array group or a parity group.
