Opening the Operations Center

The Overview page is the default initial view in the Operations Center. However, in your web browser, you can bookmark the page that you want to open when you log in to the Operations Center.

1. In a web browser, enter the following address, where hostname represents the name of the computer where the Operations Center is installed, and secure_port represents the port number that the Operations Center uses for HTTPS communication on that computer:

   https://hostname:secure_port/oc

   Tips:

   • The URL is case-sensitive. For example, ensure that you type oc in lowercase as indicated.
   • The default port number for HTTPS communication is 11090, but a different port number in the range 1024 - 65535 can be specified during Operations Center installation. After installation, an administrator can configure the Operations Center to use the standard TCP/IP secure port (port 443) for HTTPS communication. If the Operations Center is configured to use port 443, then you do not need to include the secure port number when you open the Operations Center. Instead, you can enter the following address, where hostname represents the name of the computer where the Operations Center is installed:

     https:hostname/oc/

     For more information about configuring the Operations Center to use port 443, see Configuring the Operations Center web server to use the standard TCP/IP secure port.

2. Log in, using an administrator ID that is registered on the hub server.

   In the Overview page, you can view summary information for clients, services, servers, storage pools, and storage devices. You can view more details by clicking items or by using the Operations Center menu bar.

   Monitoring from a mobile device: To remotely monitor the storage environment, you can view the Overview page of the Operations Center in the web browser of a mobile device. The Operations Center supports the Apple Safari web browser on the iPad. Other mobile devices can also be used.
