Certification Overview

Complete Ops Center Administrator Expertise — From Provisioning to Automation

HQT-6741 provides comprehensive coverage of Hitachi Ops Center Administrator for enterprise storage management. The learning path connects initial resource discovery and pool configuration through volume provisioning, host connectivity, and storage systems knowledge into a complete administration workflow across VSP 5000 and VSP E Series platforms.

Advanced topics include Adaptive Data Reduction for storage efficiency, internal and external storage migration, Virtual Storage Machine for multi-tenancy, ALUA multi-pathing with Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager, REST API and CLI automation, and production monitoring with Active Directory authentication and backup management.

Market Relevance

Infrastructure Priorities Shaping Today's Storage Administration Market

The administration challenges behind this syllabus — unified management, storage efficiency, automation, and data protection — remain central to enterprise storage operations on Hitachi Vantara platforms.

Unified Storage Management

Ops Center Administrator provides a single management interface for provisioning, monitoring, and administering VSP 5000 and VSP E Series storage across large enterprise environments.

Storage Efficiency Demand

Adaptive Data Reduction (ADR) and HDP/HDT thin provisioning capabilities reduce storage costs while maintaining performance for mission-critical workloads.

Automation and REST API

REST API and CLI automation skills are increasingly required for DevOps integration and infrastructure-as-code adoption in enterprise storage environments.

Data Protection Focus

Skills in local and HA replication, storage migration, and VSM are critical for comprehensive data protection and business continuity strategies in regulated industries.

Practical Outcomes

What You Will Be Able to Do

Provision and manage parity groups, HDP and HDT pools, and volumes using Ops Center Administrator for enterprise workloads.

Configure host groups, host modes, and host mode options to connect VSP storage to multi-platform host environments.

Deploy and monitor Adaptive Data Reduction to achieve measurable storage efficiency gains across VSP 5000 and VSP E Series systems.

Execute internal and external storage migrations and configure local and HA replication for data protection with minimal service disruption.

Automate storage provisioning and management workflows using Ops Center REST API and CLI for repeatable infrastructure operations.

Configure ALUA multi-pathing and Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager for optimal I/O performance and high availability across host connections.
