Configuring the Operations Center
When you open the Operations Center for the first
time, you must configure it to manage your storage environment. You must associate the Operations Center with the IBM
Storage Protect server that is designated as the hub server. You
can then connect additional IBM
Storage Protect servers as
spoke servers.
Designating the hub server
When you connect to the Operations Center for the first time, you must designate which IBM Storage Protect server is the hub server.
Adding a spoke server
After you configure the hub server for the Operations Center , you can add one or more spoke servers to the hub server.
Sending email alerts to administrators
An alert is a notification of a relevant problem on the IBM Storage Protect server and is triggered by a server message. Alerts can be shown in the Operations Center and can be sent from the server to administrators by email.
Adding customized text to the login screen
You can add customized text, such as your organization's Terms of Use of the software, to the login screen of the Operations Center so that users of the Operations Center see the text before they enter their user name and password.
Configuring the Operations Center web server to use the standard TCP/IP secure port
Port 443 is the standard port for secure web browser communication. If users must access the Operations Center through a firewall, you can configure the Operations Center to communicate through this standard port. In this way, you can avoid opening another port in the firewall.
Enabling REST services
Applications that use Representational State Transfer (REST) services can query and manage the storage environment by connecting to the Operations Center.
