StorageGuard collects configuration data from HNAS by opening an HTTPS connection to the HNAS system and running read-only REST-API calls.
Preparation for Scanning HNAS
The following table lists the requirements for scanning HNAS:
| # | Description |
| 1 | Provide the REST API Server (Admin EVS) IP Address for the HNAS system. NOTE: To send REST API requests, you must use a publicly accessible admin services IP address—typically the same one used by the SMU/File Administrator. For HNAS and VSP One File, you can obtain valid admin IPs from the Managed Server settings or by running evsipaddr -l in the CLI. For VSP N-series and VSP G/F-series with NAS modules, you can use the same admin IPs plus the controller (GUM) IP addresses, which are available through the SVP or in the SMU’s Network Configuration → IP Addresses page. |
| 2 | Provide a user account (and password) for each HNAS system, with the USER access level. Examples for REST-API endpoints and commands used: • GET /v9/storage/virtual-servers• GET /v9/storage/file-devices/ntp-servers |
| 3 | Make sure that IP connectivity through HTTPS (default port 8444) is available between the StorageGuard server and each HNAS system. |
Creating a User Account for Scanning HNAS
The following suggested method can be used to create a user account with appropriate privileges:
- Log in to the server CLI as an administrative user.
- Run the following CLI command:
system1:$ user add sguard {Password} USER
