Preparation for Scanning HPE 3PAR / Primera systems
StorageGuard collects configuration data from 3PAR / Primera systems by running read-only InForm CLI commands either directly on the storage system or through a proxy server installed with the InForm CLI software ("InForm CLI proxy").
The following table lists the requirements for scanning 3PAR / Primera systems:
| # | Description |
| 1 |
If an InForm CLI proxy is used:
Otherwise: Define localhost as proxy IP when scanning 3PAR arrays directly. |
| 2 | Provide the network name or IP address of the HPE storage system. |
| 3 |
Provide a 3PAR / Primera user account profile (existing or specifically created for StorageGuard) with a read-only privilege. Examples for API/CLI calls used:
|
| 4 | Verify that IP connectivity through SSH (default is port 22) is available between the StorageGuard collector server and each storage system. |
| 5 |
If an InForm CLI proxy is used:

Notes:
- You should provide StorageGuard with the encrypted password of the HP 3PAR storage system. Refer to this article for the procedure to generate encrypted passwords.
- Windows servers can also be used as InForm CLI proxies - For additional information on using Windows servers as an InForm CLI proxy, contact support.
