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.
4. Click the OK button.
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.

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.
6. Click the OK button.

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-
3. To change from HTTPS to HTTP, edit HTTPS to HTTP this way:
In the screenshot below, HTTPS is now unchecked, which means that the default communication protocol is now HTTP.

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/SCVMStor ageManager/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.

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.

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
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.

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