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

hello
I have issue with customer in VSP one array management. The server tab is disabled the moment the storage array is registered with Hitachi Ops Center Administration. The customer want it back to have. Is possible to return or make it enable or any way they can see in VSP one array?
