FileServer

FileSystem

Other SMB share fields are set to defaults. The Transfer To Object Replication field is disabled.

14. In the Hyper-V server, create a Windows symbolic link to link the SMB

share to <drive>:\Program Files\Hitachi\SCVMM-Storage\VMs\<vm name>\.

15. If necessary, create a SMB Share subfolder under <vm name> called

<VMName>__<FileSystemName> __<SMBShareName>)

16. Link this new or existing folder on Hyper-V server to a share on the file server.

17. Move all files in the current VM path to C:\Program Files\Hitachi\SCVMM-Storage\VMs\<vm name>\VM name __FileSystem __SMBShare).

18. Update the virtual hard disk (VHD) path of the VM to the new path:

<drive>:\Program Files\Hitachi\SCVMM-Storage\VMs\<vm name>\<VMName>__<FileSystemName> __<SMBShareName>.

Virtual Machine Cloning

Add a Hyper-V host before cloning a VM. In addition, you must configure new a

subsystem.



Under Virtual Machine Details, the context menu pops up. Right-click a VM name. The context menu includes two menu items:

Clone VM with Snapshot

Clone VM with ShadowImage

Cloning a VM with Snapshot

1. If you click the Snapshot menu item and only one P-VOL is present, a dialog window opens, requesting that you enter a VM name. All the valid

HTI pool numbers in a subsystem are available from a dropdown list in the dialog window.

If the VM Name is empty or exceeds 255 characters, an error message appears.

2. Click the OK button to complete the cloning.

A designated folder is created for mounting the V-VOL. If the Windows registry subkey or the InstallRoot value, which is created by the installer, is not

available, the default folder is c:\Program Files\Hitachi\Hitachi SCVMM Storage\VMs. A new sub-folder <VM name>\diskN is created under this folder.

Cloning VM with Snapshot (HUS)

1. If you click the Snapshot menu item and HUS is detected, a dialog

window opens. It requests a VM name and pair name. All the valid HDP pool numbers are included in a dropdown list in the dialog window and are treated as management pool numbers and replication pool numbers.

HUS snapshots require a management pool ID and replication pool ID. Management pool and replication pools are HDP pools and can be the same one.

An error message appears if the VM Name is empty or exceeds 255 characters, or if the Pair name is empty or exceeds 31 characters. The



characters must be alphanumeric or one of the following characters: %, *, +, -, ., /, =, @, _, :, [, or ].

2. Click the OK button to create the clone.

To create a VM clone using HUS snapshot, the clone operation finds the P-VOL WWN and maps the V-VOL to the Hyper-V server.

Cloning a VM with ShadowImage

1. When you click the Shadow Image menu item, a dialog window opens and requests a VM name. All the valid HTI pool numbers on a RAID

storage, or all the valid HDP pool numbers on a HUS storage appear in a dropdown list in the dialog window.

If the VM Name is empty or exceeds 255 characters, an error message pops up. The clone operation should find an unused consistency group ID. After the clone is completed, the clone operation frees the

consistency group ID.

2. After you click the OK button, the clone is created.

Cloning an Hitachi NAS Virtual Machine

1. In the Virtual Machine Details view, right-click a VM name to bring up the context menu, where only HNAS VM cloning is available.

2. Choose Clone VM Using HNAS Clone.

3. When prompted, enter a new VM name for the clone.

The software creates a cloned VM and an SMB share.



Cloning a Virtual Machine with Hitachi NAS Tree Cloning

Follow these steps:

1. In the Virtual Machine Details view, right-click a VM name to bring up the context menu.

The context menu is only available for VMs with SMB shares.

2. In the context menu, choose Clone VM Using NAS Directory.

3. When prompted, provide the existing share name, the existing share

path, the new share path, and a new VM name for the clone.

The software performs as follows:

Makes sure that the existing and new VM have mapped SMB shares for cloning.

Creates new VM folder on the share.

Uses an existing VM’s template.

Executes NAS tree clone operations on the directory of the existing VM SMB share to new VM share folders

Provisioning SMB Shares

You can provision a LUN to an added host by using this adapter. Before LUN provisioning, create a Host Group on a storage subsystem that belongs to a Hyper-V host WWN.

Creating a VM with an SMB Share

1. To create a new VM with an SMB share, The Virtual Machine Details page includes that you can press to create a new VM with an SMB

share.

2. When prompted, supply the host, new VM name, template name,

existing SMB share name, and EVS IP address.

The software creates a VM folder on the share, using the specified template.

Migrating an Existing VM to an SMB Share

A virtual machine can be moved from one Hyper-V host to another.

1. From the Virtual Machine Details view, select and right-click the VM in bring up the context menu. You can choose any VM for this operation.

2. From the context menu, select Move VM to SMB Share.



3. When prompted, provide the following information: destination host sy

st

em, file server, file system, and existing SMB share name.

The software performs the following operations:

Creates the VM folder in the share path if it is not there.

Moves all files in current VM’s path to the VM folder in the share path.

Updates the vhdPath of the VM to the new path:

C:\Program Files\Hitachi\SCVMM-Storage\VMs\<vm name>\VM name “EVSIP__VMName__FileSystem __CIFSShare__”

or to the VM folder in the share path.

Provisioning a New Share for a New VM

4. In NAS Details view, select and right-click a file system to bring up the context menu.

5. Choose Provision New SMB Share for New Virtual Machine from the menu.

6. When prompted, provide the new share name and path.

The software uses the currently selected file system and file server to create the share.

Use the Create button on the Virtual Machine Details page to create a new VM.

Deleting a Virtual Machine with an SMB Share

To provision a SMB share, follow these steps:

1. To bring up a context menu, right-click a VM in the Virtual Machine Details View.

2. Select Delete VM with SMB Share.

The software deletes the VM and the folders for the VM on the Hyper-V server, as well as the VM folder on the share.

The Virtual Machine Details view updates to show that the VM is gone.

Note While more than one .vhdx file may be copied to the VM folders,

only one .vhdx file is be set as the virtual disk file.



Provisioning LUNs

LUN Provisioning for Fibre Channel

Perform these steps for LUN provisioning:

1. Select Create Logical Unit (FC).

2. In the LUN box, select an HDP pool, Parity Group, or RAID Group. There

are no minimum or maximum buttons in the LUN provisioning box.

By default, Auto remains checked. If the Auto checkbox is checked, the Ldev ID textbox does not appear. Instead, the adapter creates the logical unit with the next unused LUN number.

3. From the Size drop-down menu, select GB or TB. GB is the default. Enter integers.

Floating point values are not accepted.

You cannot enter any characters other than integer.

For a VSP Gx00 HDP pool, 60TB is the maximum size.

For all other subsystems, the maximum is 2TB.


5. The behavior of the Port and Host drop-down menus depends on whether

a WWN is present. If it is, only the host groups and ports with the WWN

are available. If no WWN is found, all host groups are available.

6. After a new logical unit is mapped to the Hyper-V host, refresh the RAID group/HDP pool (see below) to show the logical unit.



LUN Provisioning for iSCSI

Add the Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) system or the Hitachi VSP Gx00.

In the LUN box, select an HDP pool, Parity Group, or RAID Group. There are no minimum or maximum buttons in the LUN provisioning box.

1. Select Create Logical Unit (iSCSI).

2. The adapter queries the iSCSI target objects using the currently selected host’s IQN. When a target is found, the Create Logical Unit (iSCSI) dialog box appears.

3. If the Auto checkbox is checked, the Ldev ID text box does not appear. Instead, the adapter creates the logical unit with the next unused LUN

number.

4. From the Size drop-down menu, select GB or TB. GB is the default. Enter an integer.

o Floating point values are not accepted.

o You cannot enter any characters other than integer.

o For a VSP Gx00 HDP pool, 60TB is the maximum size.

o For all other subsystems, the maximum is 2TB.

5. In the LUN text box, allow automatic numbering by entering -1 and

checking the Auto box, or enter a label for the LUN.

If IQN is found, the Port dropdown box and iSCSI target text block display only the iSCSI target and ports that have IQN mapping.




7. After a new logical unit is mapped to the Hyper-V host, refresh the RAID group/HDP pool/Parity group to show the logical unit.

Unregistering a Subsystem

To remove/unregister a subsystem, simply click the Remove button beneath it in the overview and details panel.

Refreshing a Subsystem

To refresh a subsystem, just click the Refresh button beneath it in the overview and details panel.



Refreshing All Subsystems

To refresh all subsystems, click the Refresh button on the top panel, as shown in the diagram below.

Default Protocol Setting

Caution Because HTTP is not a secure protocol, we do not recommend using the HTTP protocol. In a secured environment, use the HTTPS protocol option.

The default protocol used in the Hitachi Storage adapter to communicate Web API is HTTPS, but you can change it from HTTPS to HTTP and vice versa.

Steps to change the protocol setting:

1. Go to the Service folder inside the installation folder-

C:\Program Files\Hitachi\Hitachi SCVMM Storage\Service\

2. Open the HiSCVMMStorageWebServiceHost.exe.config configuration file

in Notepad. Note the follow information in the file:



Default value set for protocol is HTTPS in this file-

<appSettings>



<add key="CommunicationType" value="HTTPS"/>

</appSettings>

3. To change from HTTPS to HTTP, edit HTTPS to HTTP this way:

<add key="CommunicationType" value="HTTP"/>

Restart the System Center Virtual Machine Manager and launch the Hitachi Storage Adapter from the Home menu. It shows the updated protocol setting.

In the screenshot below, HTTPS is now unchecked, which means that the default communication protocol is now HTTP.



Troubleshooting 49


Troubleshooting

Unable to Access Web Service Using HTTPS

Windows Crashes during Addition of Subsystem

50 Troubleshooting


Unable to Access Web Service Using HTTPS

When this happens, you see the pop-up message below upon launching the Hitachi adapter and the log file reports the information shown in the following

text.

[0001] [03/26/15-22:54:06] [Logger.d] ERROR [E2B0200F] {MainVM::.ctor}:Failed to get storage device configurations. An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://localhost:2024/HitachiStorageManagementWebServices/SCVMStorageManager/StorageManager/GetStorageDeviceConfigurations.

This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a

mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server.

Solution

Follow these steps:

Go to the folder C:\Program Files\Hitachi\Hitachi SCVMM Storage\Cert.

1. Double-click on HitachiStorageSCVMM.cer certificate.

2. Click on the Details tab and get the Thumbprint value.

3. Open the Administrative Tools and launch IIS manager.

4. Expand the server, Sites, and select Default Web Site.

5. Right-click on Default Web Site and select Edit Bindings.

Troubleshooting 51


52 Troubleshooting


6. Select the binding with protocol 2024 and click on Edit.

7. Click on the View button.

8. Click on Details and check for Thumbprint.

Thumbprint values for both certificates, one in IIS manager and second inside Cert folder in installation directory, must be same.

9. Check for a link on web browser, it should respond:

https://localhost:2024/HitachiStorageManagementWebServices/SCVMStorageManager/StorageManager/GetStorageDeviceConfigurations

10. If you can open above link, your issue is resolved.

Windows crashes during addition of a subsystem

If SCVMM windows crash while you add a storage system, follow the instructions below.

Solution

Uninstall this application and delete the installation folder, C:\Program Files\Hitachi\Hitachi SCVMM Storage. Install the application and then try to add

the subsystem again.



Troubleshooting 53


Error occurs while getting available LUNs from the virtual

storage subsystem

This error shows up in the hivcenter.log file, when you are trying to create a Snapshot or ShadowImage clone of a VM and no free LDEV IDs are available to

assign to the cloned LDEV.

Solution

To overcome this problem, always keep some free LDEV IDs in Virtual Storage resource group. You can use following raidcom command to assign a free Ldev id to resource group.

raidcom get ldev -ldev_list undefined

raidcom unmap resource -ldev_id <Free_Ldev_ID> -virtual_ldev_id <Free_Ldev_ID>

raidcom add resource -resource_name <Resource_Group_Name> -ldev_id <Free_Ldev_ID>

raidcom map resource -ldev_id <Free_Ldev_ID> -virtual_ldev_id <Free_Ldev_ID>

These commands will assign a free ldev id Free_Ldev_ID from Meta resource

group to Virtual Storage resource group Resource_Group_Name. Whenever user try to create a VM clone on Virtual Storage VM, it takes these free IPs to

assign new S-VOL.

the user data to be accessed in the event that 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.
