Architecture

As shown in Figure 1, the UniSystem architecture contains the following elements:

· UniSystem client—A PC or physical server used to access UniSystem through the Web browser.

· UniSystem server—A PC, physical server, or AE module hosting the UniSystem software. An AE module ships with UniSystem pre-installed.

· Managed devices—Devices managed by UniSystem, including enclosures, switches, and servers.

You can access UniSystem from the browser of the UniSystem client or UniSystem server and manage devices through UniSystem. The UniSystem client and UniSystem server can be the same device, unless the UniSystem server runs on an AE module.

UniSystem supports a maximum of 10 users with the default user included.

Figure 1 UniSystem architecture

To upgrade the server drives or view more information about managed devices on UniSystem, you need to install and start FIST System Management Service (SMS) on the managed devices. FIST SMS is the software installed in the operating system of a server to enhance UniSystem management capabilities.

For more information about FIST SMS, see the user guide for FIST SMS.

Network planning

UniSystem IP address planning

Before installing UniSystem, the administrator must plan network parameters for UniSystem. UniSystem supports creating a cluster of primary/secondary AE modules. After a cluster is created, UniSystem automatically monitors the state of the primary node. When the primary node fails, UniSystem will switch to run on the secondary node, which avoids service interruption caused by the failure of the primary AE module. You can plan IP addresses for nodes in the cluster in advance to ensure that the cluster node IP addresses can normally communicate with the login IP address. Table 3 shows the UniSystem IP address plan, and Table 4 shows the cluster node IP address plan. The default subnet for UniSystem on AE modules and VMs is 192.168.0.100/192.168.0.101.

Table 3 UniSystem IP address plan

IP address	Subnet mask
Login IP address of UniSystem	N/A

Table 4 Cluster IP address plan

IP address	Subnet mask
Primary node IP address of UniSystem	N/A
Secondary node IP address of UniSystem	N/A

iSCSI virtual IP address	N/A

IP address plan for devices to be managed

A single UniSystem system can manage up to 5000 H3C UniServer servers and 30 S6800-54QT, M8380-C, M8310, S6840-56HF, and S6800-54QF switches.

Before installing UniSystem, the administrator must plan network parameters for devices to be managed, as shown in Table 5.

Table 5 Network parameter plan for devices to be managed

Parameter	Description
IP address	Server IP address.
Protocol	HTTP and HTTPS are supported.
Port	The default port is 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS.
Username	The default username is admin.
Password	The default password is Password@_.

Preparation (unified O&M version)

NOTE:

The content of this section is only applicable to the UniSystem running on the U-Center unified operation and maintenance platform.

Prerequisites

Considering that the unified O&M version of UniSystem is installed on the U-Center unified O&M platform, for more information about the E07xx version, see H3C U-Center 2.0 Deployment Guide on the H3C official website. For more information about the E710x version, see H3C U-Center 5.0 Deployment Guide on the H3C official website. You can also contact Technical Support to obtain the manual.

Restrictions and guidelines

If you use the UniSystem component of the U-Center unified O&M platform on the CAS platform, make sure the processor operating mode of VMs for the U-Center unified O&M platform is set to passthrough mode. If you fail to do so, the management of servers by the UniSystem component might be affected. For more information, see the user guide for the H3C CAS cloud computing management platform.

Synchronizing the system time with an NTP server

This feature is available only when UniSystem runs on a VM or an AE module.

About this feature

Perform this task to synchronize the system time of UniSystem with an NTP server to ensure the time accuracy.

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane, select Menu > System> System > System Time Settings.

Figure 43 Configuring system time settings

2. Select Sync with NTP Server for the Select Mode field.

3. Click Auto Sync to enable auto synchronization.

4. Enter the IP address of the primary NTP server.

5. Enter the IP address of the secondary NTP server.

6. Click Save.

Configuring a cluster

This module is available only when UniSystem runs on AE modules.

About this feature

Perform this task to create or manage a cluster of AE modules to implement high availability. UniSystem automatically monitors the status of the primary node. When the primary node fails, UniSystem will switch to run on the secondary node, which avoids service interruption caused by the failure of the primary AE module.

Prerequisites

Cluster creation requires data synchronization. For correct data synchronization, make sure the time difference between the primary and secondary nodes is shorter than 10 seconds. For more information about how to set the system time, see "Synchronizing the system time with an NTP server."

If a cluster is created, make sure the following conditions are met:

· Make sure the primary and secondary nodes can reach each other. As a best practice, assign static IP addresses to ports for the primary and secondary nodes to communicate with each other and make sure the ports have the same subnet mask.

· Make sure the primary and secondary nodes each have a unique host name for UniSystem access. Do not set the host name to localhost or an all-digit string.

For more information about how to set the host name and the network settings, see "Configuring the network settings."

Restrictions and guidelines

· The secondary UniSystem node in the cluster will be stopped during cluster creation.

· During cluster creation, do not power off the AE modules or disconnect the network. Data synchronization will take a long time. Please wait till the whole progress finishes.

· During cluster creation, do not perform any other operations on UniSystem of the primary node.

· After the cluster is created, do not edit the host name, system time, or network settings of UniSystem.

· UniSystem cannot be reverted from cluster mode to standalone mode.

· Cluster creation failure will cause the unavailability of UniSystem. Please try again to create the cluster.

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane, select Menu > System > Cluster.

2. Click the Create Cluster link.

3. On the page that opens, configure the following parameters for the cluster to be created.

¡ Secondary Node Address—IP address used by the secondary node to communicate with the primary node. As a best practice, use the IP address of network port vmng.om or the 10-GE network port of the secondary AE module.

¡ UniSystem Virtual IP Address—Virtual IP address for users to access UniSystem after the cluster is created.

¡ iSCSI Virtual IP Address—IP address used to configure the iSCSI service. Make sure the entered iSCSI virtual IP address is on the same network segment as an IP address of the 10-GE network port on the primary AE module.

Configuring LDAP

NOTE:

This feature is supported only when UniSystem runs on a PC, AE module, or VM environment.

About this feature

UniSystem can work with an LDAP server to provide quick access to LDAP users on the server.

Procedure

1. In the navigation pane, select Menu > System > Users and Security > LDAP Management.

2. Click Add LDAP Server.

3. In the Add LDAP Server dialog box that opens, configure the LDAP server parameters. For information about LDAP server parameters, see UniSystem Online Help.

Incorporating UniSystem to vCenter Server as a UniSystem plugin

NOTE:

This feature is supported only when UniSystem runs on a PC, AE module, or VM environment.

About this feature

You can incorporate UniSystem as a plugin to vCenter Server. After that, you can access UniSystem through vSphere Client, an application that allows you to directly connect to a vCenter Server instance.

Prerequisites

Obtain the IP address, login username, and password of the vCenter Server.

Procedure

1. Enter https://UniSystem ip address:https port in the address bar to log in to UniSystem. Then, enter https://UniSystem ip address:https port/server/0/register-plugin in the address bar to access the Register Plugin page.

IMPORTANT:

To ensure normal access to UniSystem after UniSystem plugin registration, log in to UniSystem through HTTPS.
