InfiniBox Storage Systems

InfiniBox storage systems are discovered via the embedded InfiniBox API by scanning the storage device. As part of routine discovery, when an InfiniBox system is encountered, BMC Discovery creates a InfiniBox 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.

Supported Platforms      

• InfiniBox

Prerequisites

• A user account with access to the InfiniBox system
• Port 443 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 “REST API with basic authentication”
3. Provide the user account with REST API access
4. Add port 443
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>/api/rest/system. Port is 443 by default
4. Click Test. 

If your test is successful, scan the IP Address of the InfiniBox system.
