There should be a little drop down next to reply where the original poster can mark it as 'Best Answer'. I see you're not the original poster so that might be why you don't have the option. No problem. :-). I'm sure the post as it should help the next person to a solution.

Hello
You can also enable it via the RestAPI. I've created a simple powershell script you can use to enable it too.
# Hitachi Array - Enable Server Provisioning
# Prompt for credentials
$ip = Read-Host "Enter IP address"
$username = Read-Host "Enter username"
$password = Read-Host "Enter password" -AsSecureString
$passwordPlain = [Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto(
[Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($password)
)
# Ignore SSL certificate errors (self-signed certificates)
if (-not ([System.Management.Automation.PSTypeName]'TrustAllCertsPolicy').Type) {
add-type @"
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Security;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class TrustAllCertsPolicy : ICertificatePolicy {
public bool CheckValidationResult(
ServicePoint svcPt, X509Certificate cert,
WebRequest req, int problem) {
return true;
}
}
"@
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::CertificatePolicy = New-Object TrustAllCertsPolicy
}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$url = "https://$ip/cgi-bin/easygui.cgi"
# Step 1: Login
Write-Host "Authenticating..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
$authString = [Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes("${username}:${passwordPlain}"))
$loginPayload = '{"header":{"service":"Auth", "action":"login", "returnCode":""}, "body":{"userId": "' + $username + '","password": "' + $passwordPlain + '"}}'
$loginHeaders = @{
'Content-Type' = 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8'
'Accept' = '*/*'
'Accept-Language' = 'en-US,en;q=0.9,nl;q=0.8'
'Authorization' = "Basic $authString"
}
try {
$session = New-Object Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestSession
$loginResponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Method POST -Headers $loginHeaders -Body $loginPayload -WebSession $session
$sessionId = $loginResponse.Headers['Session-ID']
if (-not $sessionId) {
Write-Host "Failed to retrieve Session-ID" -ForegroundColor Red
exit 1
}
Write-Host "Authentication successful" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host "Session-ID: $sessionId`n" -ForegroundColor Gray
# Step 2: Enable Server Provisioning
Write-Host "Enabling server provisioning..." -ForegroundColor Cyan
$provisionPayload = '{ "header": { "service": "System", "action": "setGUMOptionSetting", "returnCode": "" }, "body": { "options": { "SAEProvisioningEnable": "1" }}}'
$provisionHeaders = @{
'Session-ID' = $sessionId
'Content-Type' = 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8'
'Accept' = '*/*'
'Accept-Language' = 'en-US,en;q=0.9,nl;q=0.8'
}
$provisionResponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Method POST -Headers $provisionHeaders -Body $provisionPayload -WebSession $session
Write-Host "Server provisioning enabled" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host "`nResponse:" -ForegroundColor Gray
Write-Host $provisionResponse.Content
} catch {
Write-Host "Error: $_" -ForegroundColor Red
if ($_.Exception.Response) {
$reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($_.Exception.Response.GetResponseStream())
$responseBody = $reader.ReadToEnd()
Write-Host "Response body: $responseBody" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}
exit 1
}
Here is a snip of what it should look like. It's important that you use a user that has the right to change the system options like the maintenance user:
If this helped you, consider marking it as the solution as it might help others too.

Hi Glauk,
just take the URL https://<CTL-IP>/ui/#/servers in the browser, where the <CTL-IP> is the IP of the controller with the active ESM or the Service-IP.
Then you will see the Server-Tab temporary again.
If you want to make it visible permanently, you have to run a MPC procedure.
Cheers
Toni
