NetApp StorageGRID Storage Systems

NetApp StorageGRID systems are discovered using the StorageGRID Management API by scanning the NetApp StorageGRID Primary Admin Node. As part of routine discovery, when a NetApp StorageGRID Primary Admin Node 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.

Supported Platforms

Any NetApp StorageGRID storage system model that supports the StorageGRID Management API.

Prerequisites

• BMC Discovery v12.0 and higher.
• A user account with access to StorageGRID Management API
• 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 “NetApp StorageGRID REST API”
3. Provide the user account with StorageGRID Management 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/v3/private/network-topology. Port is 443 by default
4. Click Test. 

If your test is successful, scan the IP Address of the NetApp StorageGRID Primary Admin Node.
