Configuring the Operations Center

After you install the Operations Center, complete the following configuration steps to start managing your storage environment.

Before you begin

When you connect to the Operations Center for the first time, you must provide the following information:

Connection information for the server that you want to designate as a hub server
Login credentials for an administrator ID that is defined for that server

Designate the hub server. In a web browser, enter the following address:
```
https://hostname:secure_port/oc
```
where:
- hostname represents the name of the computer where the Operations Center is installed
- secure_port represents the port number that the Operations Center uses for HTTPS communication on that computer
For example, if your host name is tsm.storage.mylocation.com and you are using the default secure port for the Operations Center, which is 11090, the address is:
```
https://tsm.storage.mylocation.com:11090/oc
```
When you log in to the Operations Center for the first time, a wizard guides you through an initial configuration to set up a new administrator with system authority on the server.
Set up secure communications between the Operations Center and the hub server by configuring the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Follow the instructions in Securing communications between the Operations Center and the hub server.
Optional: To receive a daily email report that summarizes system status, configure your email settings in the Operations Center.
Follow the instructions in Tracking system status by using email reports.
