Hitachi Network Attached Storage (HNAS)
Hitachi Network attached Storage (HNAS) storage systems are discovered via an SNMP agent that can be configured using the embedded System Management Unit (SMU). When an SNMP discovery finds a HNAS server's IP address, a Storage Device node representing whether a Cluster or a HNAS Standalone Server is created. The creation or confirmation of the Storage Device node triggers the appropriate storage discovery pattern. The storage discovery pattern continues discovery of the storage entity using further SNMP requests to discover the associated storage components. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Discovery.
Prerequisites
- SNMP credentials valid for the Hitachi Network attached Storage (HNAS) storage device. The SNMP community must be the same as the one configured in the SMU. We recommend to set the SNMP query timeout to, at least, 90 seconds to cover queries of any length.
- BMC Discovery must be on a network that can access the Hitachi Network attached Storage (HNAS) storage device.
Supported Platforms/Versions
- Hitachi NAS Platform 4040, 4100 and 4060.
- Firmware version of HNAS Server should be greater than 12.4
Discovered Storage Information
Vendor Specific Information
