10 Introdction to the User View User view sers and featres overview The ViPR User Gide describes the se of the User view of the ViPR Admin and Self- Service UI (the UI) for creating and managing storage sing operations made available from the service catalog. The User view provides access to the UI areas reqired for rnning services, working with orders, and reviewing the storage resorces that yo have created. In addition, if yo are an approver, it provides access to the approvals area. Access and se of the service catalog within the User view does not reqire any administrator privileges, it is accessible to any ser who has been configred to access the tenant. In addition, for object storage sers who are tenant members, it is possible to se the UI to self-generate an object store key to enable access to ViPR object storage. When accessing ViPR from the User view, the categories of the service catalog, and the services within each category, that are visible to yo can be configred by a Tenant Administrator. In addition, the storage resorces (block volmes and file systems) that yo have access to depend on the project to which yo are assigned by the Tenant Administrator. If yo are Tenant Administrator, restrictions on access to the service catalog, or to resorces based on project membership, do not apply; a Tenant Administrator has ltimate athority in the tenant and can access any area of the service catalog and can create resorce for any project and access resorces belonging to any project. The administrator tasks that mst be performed in order to prepare the ViPR virtal data center for se by provisioning end-sers are described in the ViPR Administrator Gide. Controls bar The UI provides a controls bar and a men bar. The controls bar provides access to the following: User men on page 10 View selector on page 11 Notifications area on page 11 Online help selector on page 11 User men The User men is a drop-down located at the top-right of the UI, as shown below. In this figre the logged in ser does not have any administrator rights, so a view selector is not displayed. Figre 1 User men The men provides the following tabs: Preferences Provides access to the User Preferences panel which allows yo to enable notifications and to specify the address to which notifications will be sent. Notifications tell yo when an order yo have sbmitted has been approved (or rejected) and when the order has been flfilled. 10 EMC ViPR User Gide

11 Introdction to the User View Manage Object Store Keys Provides access to the Manage Object Store Keys page which enables yo to add and delete object store keys that will allow yo to access ViPR object storage. Logot Enables yo to log ot from the UI. View selector If yo are assigned to an administrator role in ViPR, yo can switch between the Admin and User views sing the view selector. Figre 2 View selector If yo are a provisioning ser and do not have administrator privileges, yo will not see the view selector. Notifications area The notifications area is displayed if yo are a Tenant Approver and can be expanded to show a list of otstanding approvals, as shown below. Figre 3 Notifications area User mens and permissions Clicking on an approval notification opens the approvals page to allow the reqest to be approved. In addition, as a Tenant Approver, approval reqests will be notified by as long as the approval address has been added by an administrator. Online help selector Yo can display context sensitive online help by clicking the qestion mark on the stats bar. The help displayed will be appropriate to the page that is crrently displayed. The mens within the User view enable provisioning sers to access the service catalog and execte services which reslt in the creation of orders. The following table describes the system featres provided by tha User view men and describes how access permissions affect what yo can see and do.

14 Introdction to the User View Home page The Home page displays yor most recently sed services and yor most recent orders. Figre 4 Home page Search facilities in the UI Accessing the ViPR UI Clicking on a recently sed service will open the parameter entry form the service and pt yo in the service catalog area of the UI. Clicking on an order will open the details for the selected order an pt yo in the orders area of the UI. The ViPR UI provides a search facility on tables and on selection fields in forms. To perform filtering, the search string mst contain at least three letters; once three letters have been typed, yo will see the reslts of the filtering operation. On form fields, the list of possible vales that can be selected as the vale for the field is filtered to those that contain the search string. On tables, the search string is generally matched against the name field of the table. The search UI controls operate on the client side; a list of vales is retrned from the ViPR controller and is filtered by the UI control. However, sing the ViPR API it is possible to perform controller-side filtering. That is, a client can reqest the controller to retrn only the resorces that match a specified string. Yo can access the ViPR UI from yor browser by specifying the address of the ViPR appliance. Procedre 1. To access the UI, yo need to enter the address of the ViPR appliance in yor browser's address bar: 14 EMC ViPR User Gide

15 Introdction to the User View Adding an object data store key 2. Enter yor sername and password. It shold be in the format If yo are nable to log in, contact yor Tenant Administrator. All logged in sers have access to the User view and yo will initially be placed in the ser Home page. If yo have been assigned to any administrator roles, the Admin view will also be available. 3. Yo can log ot from the Logot item located in the ser men at to right-hand corner of the UI, next to the identity of the logged in ser. An object data store key can be created in the UI and sed to access ViPR object storage. Before yo begin Object store keys can be created by ViPR sers who are domain sers and have access to the UI. Procedre 1. Select User Men > Manage Data Store Keys. 2. Select Add. Rolling-over a object data store key A new key will be added to the Data Store Keys table. An object ser can have a maximm of 2 object data store keys. The key can be copied and sed as the secret key when accessing the ViPR object stores sing an object client. Yo can change, or "rollover", an object data store key manally at the ViPR UI. Before yo begin Object store keys can be created by ViPR sers who are domain sers and have access to the ViPR UI. Where yo are accessing an object store sing a client that reqires yo to manally enter an object data store key (also referred to as a secret key), for secrity, yo shold periodically change the key that yo se. This is often called "secret key rollover." Procedre 1. Select User Men > Manage Data Store Keys. 2. Select the checkbox next to the object data store key that yo want to delete. If yo have more than one key, this shold be the oldest of yor two keys. 3. Select Delete. 4. To create a new key to replace the deleted key, select Add. A new key will be added to the Data Store Keys table. Yo can have a maximm of 2 object data store keys. Yo can copy the key and se it as the secret key when accessing the ViPR object stores sing an object client. Adding an object data store key 15

17 CHAPTER 2 Provisioning Using the Service Catalog This chapter contains the following topics: Service Catalog for Users...18 Services overview...18 Rnning a service Services end-ser reference Provisioning Using the Service Catalog 17

18 Service Catalog for Users Services overview Orders are placed, to rn services, from the User view of the Service Catalog. Service Catalog From the User view, the Service Catalog presents the service categories, which contain a set of pre-configred services appropriate to the storage operation to perform. The services in the Service Catalog, are managed, and controlled by ViPR Administrators. Administrators configre the categories in which services are organized, the options that are available, or visible from a service, the resorce constraints enforced in a service, and ser access permissions for sing a service. User view, Service Catalog for administrators Only administers logged into ViPR, will have the following options available from the User view of the Service Catalog: The Edit Catalog btton is available to allow administration of the service catalog. Additional services are available for example, the Block Storage Services category has services to ingest nmanaged volmes and to move VPLEX volmes which are only available to System Administrators. Using the Service Catalog 1. Select the service category best describing the service to rn. 2. Complete the service order form. The available inpt parameter fields depend on the way the administrator has configred the service. An administrator can create services in which some of the fields are set to specific vales and hidden from the ser, referred to as "locked." If an option is not available in a service order form, speak to the ViPR administrator to determine if the option was intentionally made navailable, and was locked when the service was edited, or created. Note Click Help while entering the service order form to get field specific information for the open form. 3. Click Order to rn the service. The Orders page is displayed and shows the progress of the reqest. The service might be configred to rn the service in an exection window or might reqire approval, in which case it will not be exected immediately. Services encapslate the most common storage operations that ViPR provisioning sers will want to perform. Services can only be exected by provisioning sers who belong to the project that owns the provisioned resorce, this incldes the Project Administrator. Before rnning a service, yo will need to complete the order form for that service. When provisioning storage, the main selections that yo will need to make are the protocol that yo want to se and the virtal storage pool (referred to a the virtal pool) which will provide the storage. These concepts are described in the following sections: Service Forms on page EMC ViPR User Gide

19 Choosing the virtal pool when provisioning storage on page 20 Choosing the consistency grop on page 20 Service Forms Each service has a set of inpt parameters. When selecting a service, the inpt parameter fields that yo are presented with on the inpt form depend on the way that yor administrator has configred the service. An administrator can create services in which some of the fields are set to specific vales and hidden form the ser, referred to a "locked." The figres below show the inpt form for the Create Block Volme service. Firstly with no parameters locked, and then with the choice of storage provider (virtal array and virtal pool) locked so that their vales are pre-set and hidden from the provisioning ser. With no parameters locked, the virtal array and virtal pool mst be specified. With the parameters locked, in the example below, no storage provider selections are reqired. Services overview 19

20 Rnning a service 20 EMC ViPR User Gide Choosing the virtal pool when provisioning storage The main choice yo will be faced with when provisioning new block or file storage is the virtal pool that will provide the storage. Virtal pools combine a set of physical storage pools capable of providing a defined level of service. Yor administrator is likely to set the name of the storage pool so that it gives an idea of the level of service (performance and protection) provided by the pool. Hence, when choosing a storage provider, all yo need to be interested in is how mch storage yo reqire and picking a pool that provides the level of service reqired. Similarly, yor administrator might lock a service to a particlar virtal pool (so yo do not have to select it) and set the name of the service appropriately to indicate the tier of storage the service creates. Choosing the consistency grop When provisioning block storage, a consistency grop can be specified. All volmes inclded within a consistency grop will be snapshotted when a snapshot of any of the volmes in the grop is selected. Yo can rn a service by selecting it from the service catalog and making a few simple choices. When provisioning storage, these choices can often be as simple as: how mch storage do yo need and what level of service do yo reqire the storage to satisfy? When selecting a service, the fields that yo are presented with on the inpt form depend on the way yor storage administrator has configred the service. In some cases yo will be allowed to choose from a range of virtal storage pools, in others this selection may have been locked down. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog and open the category that holds the grop of services that yo are interested in. If yo cannot see the services yo want, yor catalog view may have been restricted and yo will need to reqest access from yor Tenant Administrator. 2. Select the service that yo want to rn.

21 The service inpt form opens and yo will need to make choices appropriate to the type of service. 3. Select or enter vales for all reqired fields and any optional fields. Reqired fields are marked with an asterisk at their right-hand side. 4. When yo have specified vales for the reqired parameters, select Order. The Orders page is displayed and shows the progress of the reqest. The service might be configred to rn the service in an exection window or might reqire approval, in which case it will not be exected immediately. Rnning a service 21

22 Services end-ser reference The following table lists the services available in each category of the defalt service catalog.

Once created, the volme can be exported to hosts sing the appropriate service from the service catalog. Before yo begin As a provisioning ser yo can only create resorces and perform operations on resorces belonging to projects that yo are assigned to (or are the owner of). If yo are a Tenant Administrator yo can rn all services and choose any project to be the owner of the resorce. If creating a volme with SRDF protection, an RDF grop mst have been created on the sorce and target virtal arrays with the naming convention, V- <project_name>, and an appropriate policy sch as SYNC or ASYNC. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Create Block Volme. 2. Select the Virtal Array and Virtal Pool from which the storage will be provisioned. If there is no option to select the virtal array or virtal pool, the option may have been fixed by a ViPR administrator. 3. Select the Project in which the resorce will belong. Only the projects assigned to yo are available for selection. If the Project option is not displayed, the service has been locked to a project and is for se only by members of that project. 4. Enter the Name that will be sed in ViPR to identify the resorce. Block storage services 23

24 Create block volme for a host 5. Select the Consistency Grop to provide protection for the provisioned resorce. The selection list contains the consistency grops previosly associated with the project. Consistency grops are only reqired if the virtal pool configration reqires it, otherwise it is optional to choose consistency grops. 6. Select the Nmber of volmes to create. 7. Enter the volme Size. 8. Select Order. The Orders page is displayed with the progress of the order. Creates a block volme for a specified host. Before yo begin As a provisioning ser yo can only create resorces and perform operations on resorces belonging to projects that yo are assigned to (or are the owner of). If yo are a Tenant Administrator yo can rn all services and choose any project to be the owner of the resorce. The host to which yo want to attach (export or mont) a block volme mst have been configred as a ViPR host asset so that ViPR knows how to connect to it. For a Windows host, yor administrator will need to ensre that the host is able to rn Windows Remote Management (WinRM) commands. If creating a volme with SRDF protection, an RDF grop mst have been created on the sorce and target virtal arrays with the naming convention, V- <project_name>, and an appropriate policy sch as SYNC or ASYNC. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Create Block Volme for a Host. 2. Select the Host to attach to the provisioned storage. 3. Choose whether the Storage Type is Shared, to manage the storage for the entire clster, or Exclsive to manage the storage for an individal host. 4.

The Orders page is displayed with the progress of the order. After yo finish If the virtal array was configred for manal zoning: If there is an existing zone for the Host and Array: After the operation completes, check the Port Grop within the Masking View to identify the FA ports that ViPR selected for the reqest. Compare the FA ports in the zone to the FA ports in the Port Grop. If they match, no frther action is reqired. If they do not match, reconfigre the zone to se the same FA ports. Alternatively, a new zone can be created. If there is no existing zoning for the Host and Array: After the operation completes, check the Port Grop within the Masking View to identify the FA ports that ViPR selected for the reqest. Create a zone with the appropriate initiator and target ports. Finds volmes within a virtal pool which are not nder ViPR management. Before yo begin The following prereqisites are applicable: This operation reqires the System Administrator role in ViPR. The virtal array and virtal pool into which yo want to ingest the storage pools mst exist when the discovery is performed. The discovery process finds storage pools on a selected storage system and identifies the virtal array and virtal pool that each array matches with. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Discover Unmanaged Volmes. 2. Select the physical block storage system on which yo want to discover nmanaged volmes. Yo can select more than one storage system. 3. Select Order. The orders page is displayed and shows the progress of the reqest. If the order is sccessflly flfilled, yo can se the Ingest Unmanaged Volmes to bring them nder management by ViPR. Imports nmanaged block volmes, which have previosly been discovered, into ViPR. The nmanged volmes mst be in virtal pools associated with the virtal array from which to ingest. Before yo begin This operation reqires the System Administrator role in ViPR. To be ingested, the nmanged volmes mst be in physical pools which are already associated with a ViPR virtal pool. The Discover Unmanaged Volmes service mst have been rn on the array from which the block volmes will be ingested. Block storage services 25

26 If the virtal array or virtal pool has been modified since the last time the nmanaged volmes were discovered, rern the discovery prior to rnning the Ingest nmanaged volmes service, to ensre volmes are assigned to the correct virtal array and virtal pool. ViPR will only ingest volmes that are not exported to hosts. Remove the nmanaged exported volmes from the masking view to ingest them into ViPR. Ingested volmes will be assigned to a project. Yo mst belong the selected project and have write-permission on the project. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Ingest Unmanaged Volmes. 2. Select the storage system from which yo want to ingest block volmes. 3. Select a virtal array that contains physical array storage pools that yo want to import. The storage system might contribte physical storage pools to a nmber of virtal pools. If yo want to ingest from all virtal pools yo will need to rn the service again for the other virtal pools. It is possible that not all of the array physical pools are inclded in the virtal array or arrays that form part of yor virtal data center. For that reason, yo don't want to ingest all nmanged block volmes on the array, jst those in physical array pools that form part of the virtal array. 4. From the array physical storage pools that form part of the virtal array, select the virtal pool that the nmanged volmes are in. 5. Select the project that yo want the nmanaged volmes to be assigned to. 6. Select Order. The orders page is displayed showing the progress of the reqest. If the order is sccessflly flfilled, yo can look at the User > Resorces page to see the imported volmes. After yo finish Once the nmanaged volmes have been ingested into ViPR: 1. Export the volmes to either a Windows or Linx host sing the following service. User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Export Volme to Host. 2. Mont the volmes on a host: For Linx hosts se: User > Service Catalog > Block Service for Linx > Mont Existing Volme on Linx. For Windows hosts se: User > Service Catalog > Block Service for Windows > Mont Existing Volme on Windows. Change virtal array The Change Virtal Array service is designed to se in a VPLEX environment. Before yo begin Refer to Overview of changing the virtal array in a VPLEX environment on page 64 for details abot how VIPR is sed to change the virtal array in a VPLEX environment. This operation reqires the System Administrator role in ViPR. This service is only spported in a VPLEX Metro configration, on local virtal volmes that have not been exported to a host. The new block storage volme is created from the same virtal pool as the original block storage volme. Therefore the new virtal array being chosen mst be 26 EMC ViPR User Gide

27 configred with the same virtal pool as the original virtal array that was sed for the VPLEX virtal volme. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Change Virtal Array. 2. Select the project to which the volme belongs. 3. Select the volme to move. 4. Select the target virtal array; the virtal array to which the volme will be moved. Change virtal pool Export volme to a host The Change Virtal Pools service is sed in a VPLEX environment. Before yo begin There are different se cases for sing VIPR to change the virtal pool in a VPLEX environment. Review the se cases in Use cases for sing ViPR to change virtal pools in a VPLEX environment on page 65 to nderstand the process sed for each se case. This operation reqires the System Administrator role in ViPR. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Change Virtal Pool. 2. Select the project to which the volme belongs. 3. Select the volme to be moved, or changed. 4. Select the target virtal pool. 5. Select Order. Makes an existing volme available to a host. Before yo begin As a provisioning ser yo can only create resorces and perform operations on resorces belonging to projects that yo are assigned to (or are the owner of). If yo are a Tenant Administrator yo can rn all services and choose any project to be the owner of the resorce. The host to which yo want to attach (export or mont) a block volme mst have been configred as a ViPR host asset so that ViPR knows how to connect to it. For a Windows host, yor administrator will need to ensre that the host is able to rn Windows Remote Management (WinRM) commands. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Block Storage Services > Export Volme to a Host. 2. Choose whether the Storage Type is Shared, to manage the storage for the entire clster, or Exclsive to manage the storage for an individal host. 3.

53 Ingest file system data Use this procedre to ingest data from a file system into ViPR object storage. Where a step reqires access to the ViPR UI, yo can se the Online Help associated with the specified page to obtain gidance. Before yo begin If the file system that holds the data to be ingested is not crrently managed by ViPR it mst be broght nder ViPR management sing the following steps. These steps mst be performed by a ser with the ViPR System Administrator role: 1. Ensre that the file storage system that contains the file systems from which yo want to ingest data is available on a ViPR IP network. This shold be the same IP network that is being sed to provide file storage for Data Services. Yo can add to the IP network from the UI at Admin > Virtal Assets > Networks. 2. Ensre that a data services virtal pool that spports the reqired data access mode (Object, HDFS, or Object + HDFS) with which yo want to access the ingested data exists and has at least one data store associated with it. 3. Ensre that the file system is not exported. If it is, remove any exports. 4. Use the User > Service Catalog > File Storage Services > Discover Unmanaged File Systems service, followed by the User > Service Catalog > File Storage Services > Ingest Unmanaged File Systems service to import the nmanaged file system. If the file system was created in ViPR, and yo want to ingest the data on the file system into object storage, yo need to remove the file system exports. Crrently there is no provision for performing this step from the UI and it mst be performed sing the API or CLI. More information is provided in the Data Services Soltions Gide topic on Removing file system exports. A bcket into which the data can be ingested mst already exist and mst be empty. The bcket shold belong to the ser who will own the ingested objects. Bckets can be created sing the object APIs or from the UI. More information on creating bckets can be fond in the Creating Bckets topic in the Data Services Soltions Gide. To create a bcket from the UI, se User > Service Catalog > Data Services > Create Bcket for Data Services. The online help associated with that topic will provide gidance. Yo mst have the Tenant Administrator role in ViPR in order to se the Ingest File System service. Procedre 1. Select User > Service Catalog > Data Services > Ingest File Systems. 2. Enter a name for the data store that will be created from the ingested file system. This is the data store that will be created from the ingested file system. The data store will be assigned to the data services virtal pool to which the specified bcket (sometimes referred to as a keypool) belongs. 3. Enter a description that will be assigned to the data store that is created. 4. Select the project that owns the file system from which data will be ingested. Only file systems that belong to the selected project will be offered as the sorce of the data. The data that is ingested is associated, for metering and showback/chargeback prposes, with the project that owns the bcket into which it is ingested. Data Services 53

54 5. Select the file system from which the data is to be ingested. The file system is sed as the storage that backs the data store that is created. 6. Enter the name of an existing bcket into which the data will be ingested. 7. Select Order. Reslts When yo ingest data into a bcket, all the files from the file share are now behaving as objects of the bcket. If the bcket was created sing the UI, or created sing a different mechanism bt withot specifying any access control list (ACL), the defalt ACL for the bcket will be applied and the owner of the bcket has fll control. No other ser has access nless the ACL is changed to allow access. The data store that is created from the ingested file system cannot be sed for new data. New data for the bcket into which the ingested data is placed, or new bckets, will be written to other data stores. 54 EMC ViPR User Gide

63 APPENDIX A ViPR services for EMC VPLEX Environments This appendix contains the following topics. Overview of changing the virtal array in a VPLEX environment...64 Use cases for sing ViPR to change virtal pools in a VPLEX environment ViPR services for EMC VPLEX Environments 63

64 ViPR services for EMC VPLEX Environments Overview of changing the virtal array in a VPLEX environment The Change Virtal Array service allows yo to se ViPR to change the virtal array sed in a VPLEX Metro configration. In a VPLEX configration, each VPLEX clster exists on a different virtal array. When a new virtal array is selected for a VPLEX local virtal volme, the local virtal volme is moved from the clster on the original virtal array to the clster on the selected virtal array, and a new backend storage volme is created on the selected virtal array for the virtal volme. In the following image: Figre 7 Initial setp with Virtal Array A The VPLEX is configred with Clster 1 on Virtal Array A, and Clster 2 on Virtal Array Z. The backend storage for VPLEX Virtal Volme A, on Clster 1 is configred from VMAX A.2, which is part of Virtal Array A. In the next image the virtal array for VPLEX Virtal Volme A is changed to Virtal Array Z. 64 EMC ViPR User Gide

65 ViPR services for EMC VPLEX Environments Figre 8 Change to Virtal Array Z A new backend storage volme, from the same virtal pool, is configred for VPLEX Virtal Volme A on VMAX Z.2 on Virtal Array Z. The data from the VMAX A.2 backend volme is migrated to the new backend volme on VMAX Z.2 sing VPLEX local device migration, reslting in VPLEX Virtal Volme A being moved to Clster 2 in Virtal Array Z. The VMAX A.2 backend volme is then nexported from VPLEX Clster 1 and deleted. Use cases for sing ViPR to change virtal pools in a VPLEX environment This section provides three se cases for sing ViPR to change the virtal pools in a VPLEX environment. Change virtal pool to create a new VPLEX virtal volme Use the Change Virtal Pool service to import a block storage volme from ViPR to create a new VPLEX virtal volme. If creating a VPLEX local virtal volme, an existing block storage volme, which is selected dring the virtal pool change operation, is sed for the backend storage sed to create the VPLEX local virtal volme. In the following figre: Use cases for sing ViPR to change virtal pools in a VPLEX environment 65

66 ViPR services for EMC VPLEX Environments Figre 9 Storage volme B vrtal pool initial setp Storage volme B is on VMAX B array and part of Testing virtal pool. Metro mission critical virtal pool is associated with VPLEX A. Storage volme B, and VPLEX A, have no association. The virtal pool for Storage volme B, is changed to Metro Mission Critical, which is a storage pool configred for VPLEX, as demonstrated in thenext figre: Figre 10 Change virtal pool for Storage volme B 66 EMC ViPR User Gide Storage volme B is then moved to the Metro Mission Critical virtal pool, which is associated to VPLEX A. VPLEX local virtal volme B is then created from the backend Storage volme B. If creating a VPLEX distribted virtal volme from block storage, the VPLEX local virtal volme is created from the selected virtal pool. Then a new HA backend storage volme
