Preparation for Scanning HCP for Cloud Scale

StorageGuard collects configuration data from HCP for Cloud Scale (HCPCS) by running read-only Rest API on the HCPCS system.

The following table lists the requirements for scanning HCPCS systems:


#	Description
1	Provide the HCPCS cluster name or IP address.
2	Provide a HCPCS user that has unlimited read-only permissions for REST API. Enable list, get, info APIs.
3	API Examples: GET https:/hcpcs_cluster:8000/api/admin/setup POST https://hcpcs_cluster:9099/mapi/v1/user/list
4	Ensure network connectivity over HTTP from the StorageGuard server to ports 8000, 9099 on the HCPCS cluster.
5	Optional / For future support: Provide an OS user account and network access for the HCPCS instances. Refer to Host Scanning for additional detail.

The following suggested method can be used to create a user account with appropriate privileges:

1. Create a user and include it in a group that grants access to the HCPCS system.

2. Assign it to a role that has been enabled at least with the following permissions:
