Huawei OceanStor Pacific System (REST)

Huawei OceanStor Pacific Series storage systems are discovered via the embedded OceanStor Pacific RESTful APIs. As part of routine discovery, when a Huawei OceanStor Pacific storage system is encountered, BMC Discovery creates a storage device node and triggers the pattern. The pattern continues the discovery using further REST API requests. Once discovered, the storage entities are modeled in BMC Discovery.

Prerequisites

• BMC Discovery v12.0 and higher.
• One OceanStor Pacific user account with REST API access.
• Port 8088 added to the list of HTTPS ports under “Administration → Discovery Configuration.

Procedure

Initial setup

1. Go to “Manage → Credentials”,
2. Add new credentials of type “OceanStor Pacific REST API”
3. Provide the user account with REST API access
4. Add port 8088 
5. Click Apply.

Test credentials

To prevent discovery issues due to invalid credentials, it is recommended to test your credentials before running a scan:

1. Go to “Manage → Credentials”
2. Click the "Action → Test" menu next to the credentials entry
3. In the Test URL field, type https://<IP> or <HOSTNAME>:<PORT>/dsware/service/v2/cluster/sn. Port is 8088 by default
4. Click Test. 

If your test is successful, scan the IP Address of the Huawei OceanStor Pacific storage system.
