Using Ssl; Launching Navigator 2; Navigator 2 Security Settings - Hitachi AMS 2100 Hardware Manual

Using SSL

Hitachi Data Systems recommends that you use SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
communication to encrypt data transferred via the user management LAN
to manage the array. The general procedure for using SSL communication
with the array is listed here and described in detail below.
1. Change the Server Certificate and Private key for the array.
2. Change the Navigator 2 Web server configuration.
3. Change the Navigator 2 Java applet configuration.
4. Manage the array through SSL communication.
NOTE:
1. When updating the Hitachi Storage Navigator Modular 2 GUI, you must
perform step 2 and 3 again. For more details, see the Hitachi Storage
Navigator Modular 2 Graphical User Interface (GUI) User's Guide.
2. SSL communication impacts the processor more than normal
communication. Therefore, frequent communication using SSL may
deteriorate I/O performance.

Launching Navigator 2

When launching Navigator 2 specify the following URL:
https://xxxx:23016/StorageNavigatorModular/Login
where xxxx: is the IP Address that you used when returning the storage
management when you returned the storage management PC network
environment. See
For the URL, specify a host name or IP address of Navigator 2. Do not
specify a loop back address such as localhost and 127.0.0.1 or [::1]. When
you specify a loop back address such as localhost or 127.0.0.1, the Web
screen is displayed, but the Applet screen is not displayed.
NOTE: In case of inputting IPv6 address to the address of the WEB
browser, it is necessary to specify the URL that put xxxx of the URL in
brackets ([]).
https://[xxxx]:23016/StorageNavigatorModular/Login
