IntroductionIntroduction to ViPR Administration The EMC ViPR Administrator Guide describes the configuration and management of EMCViPR from the ViPR Admin and Self-Service UI (the UI), using the CLI, or using the API.Most of the tasks that a ViPR administrator needs to perform can be accessed from theUI. Where an administration operation requires you to use the CLI or API, because it is notsupported from the UI, the required steps using the CLI or API are described in this guide.You can refer to the following publications for details of using the CLI and API:uEMC ViPR CLI ReferenceuEMC ViPR REST API ReferenceThe operations that you can perform depend on the administrator role to which you areassigned. Some roles apply across the ViPR virtual data center (VDC), others are specificto a tenant within the VDC.You can find more information about roles and about the other main ViPR concepts in theEMC ViPR Concepts Guide. The access to the UI provided by each administrator role isdescribed in Role assignment and UI access on page 31.Admin user and features overviewThe Admin view is aimed at ViPR administrators who are responsible for configuring ViPRin preparation for its use by self-service storage provisioning users, or from solutions andplugins which talk to ViPR using its API.Configuration of ViPR from the UI enables the physical storage infrastructure to be hiddenwhen performing storage provisioning operations, allowing the storage provider to beselected by the level of service it provides, rather than its physical array characteristics.The ViPR UI exposes the most common storage use cases as services through the servicecatalog, and the Admin view allows configuration of the ViPR service catalog to controlaccess to the services and to control their behavior. Access to the service catalog forstorage provisioning users is from the User view.Use cases which are not pre-defined in the service catalog can be developed using theViPR API.Controls barThe UI provides a controls bar and a menu bar. The controls bar provides access to thefollowing:uUser menu on page 12uView selector on page 13uNotifications area on page 13uOnline help selector on page 13User menuThe User menu is a drop-down located at the top-right of the UI, as shown below. In thisfigure the logged in user does not have any administrator rights, so a view selector is notdisplayed.12EMC ViPR 1.1.0 Administrator Guide
IntroductionFigure 1 User menuThe menu provides the following tabs:PreferencesProvides access to the User Preferences panel which allows you to enable emailnotifications and to specify the email address to which notifications will be sent.Notifications tell you when an order you have submitted has been approved (orrejected) and when the order has been fulfilled.Manage Object Store KeysProvides access to the Manage Object Store Keys page which enables you to addand delete object store keys that will allow you to access ViPR object storage.LogoutEnables you to log out from the UI.View selectorIf you are assigned to an administrator role in ViPR, you can switch between the Adminand User views using the view selector.Figure 2 View selectorIf you are a provisioning user and do not have administrator privileges, you will not seethe view selector.Notifications areaThe notifications area is displayed if you are a Tenant Approver and can be expanded toshow a list of outstanding approvals, as shown below.Figure 3 Notifications areaClicking on an approval notification opens the approvals page to allow the request to beapproved. In addition, as a Tenant Approver, approval requests will be notified by emailas long as the approval email address has been added by an administrator.Online help selectorYou can display context sensitive online help by clicking the question mark on the statusbar. The help displayed will be appropriate to the page that is currently displayed.Controls bar13

IntroductionThe areas that are accessible to an administrator in the Admin view depend on the roleassigned (Role assignment and UI access on page 31).ViPR administration tasksThis guide supports the configuration tasks that ViPR administrators may need to performthrough the lifetime ViPR and any administration tasks required to maintain the ViPRvirtual application (vApp).Configuration TasksThe configuration of ViPR comprises the configuration of the ViPR vApp, the ViPR storageinfrastructure, the compute infrastructure, and the service catalog. Many of these tasksneed to be performed as part of the initial installation and configuration of ViPR,described in the EMC VIPR Installation and Configuration Guide, they will also beperformed during the lifetime of ViPR as configuration changes are made. Theconfiguration tasks are listed in the following table.Table 2 Configuration tasks-Configuration taskCreate SecurityAdministrator-Admin userroot-DescriptionRoot user can initialize the system by assigningroles.Create SystemAdministrator, TenantAdministrator and otherrolesSecurityAdministratorSecurity Administrator can create roles requiredto perform vdc and tenant administration.Configure ures the security domain so that AD/LDAP users can access ViPR.Configure NotificationsSecurityAdministratorConfigure SMTP server to enable notifications tobe sent.Add Physical StorageAssetsSystemAdministratorAdd storage systems, SMI-S providers, fabricmanagers, and data protection systems.Add Virtual ArraysSystemAdministratorConfigure array ports and initiators into a virtualstorage array (virtual array).Configure Virtual PoolsSystemAdministratorMake physical storage pools available as virtualstorage pools (virtual pools).Configure Data ServicesSystemAdministratorConfigure ViPR Data Services to provide objectand/or HDFS storage capabilitiesIngest Block and FileVolumesSystemAdministratorBring existing block volumes and file systemsunder VIPR management.Create Tenant Administrator System(and Project Administrator) AdministratorrolesCreate a Tenant Administrator who can performall tenant tasks.

To access the UI, you need to enter the address of the ViPR appliance in yourbrowser's address bar:https://ViPR virtual ip2. Enter your username and password. It should be in the format user@domain.com.If you are unable to log in, contact your Tenant Administrator.All logged in users have access to the User view and you will initially be placed in theuser Home page. If you have been assigned to any administrator roles, the Adminview will also be available.3. You can log out from the Logout item located in the user menu at to right-hand cornerof the UI, next to the identity of the logged in user.16EMC ViPR 1.1.0 Administrator Guide
IntroductionInitial login and setupOn first login as the root user, you need to change the ViPR root and system passwords,set the ConnectEMC and email settings, and upload the ViPR license.Before you beginuWait 5 minutes after controller deployment before following the steps in thisprocedure. This will give the required ViPR services time to start up.uBe prepared to provide new passwords for the ViPR root and system accounts.uYou need the name of an SMTP server. If TLS/SSL encryption used, the SMTP
