Hitachi (HDS) Scan Requirements

AvailabilityGuard collects data from Hitachi (HDS) storage systems by opening an HTTP or HTTPS connection to the HiCommand server.

To scan a Hitachi storage system, you should make the following preparations:

• Provide the HiCommand server name or IP address.
• Provide the HiCommand Web application user account with view rights that is assigned to a group. A default group is acceptable.
• Verify that IP connectivity through HTTP or HTTPS (port 2001) is available between the AvailabilityGuard collector server and each HiCommand server.

Additional notes:

• Scanning of Hitachi G series systems requires HiCommand API version 8 or higher. 
• This article is relevant for Hitachi G-series, VSP, HUS, HUS VM, USP and AMS subsystems.
