Seagate Storage Monitoring : Installation

Seagate ExosX monitoring

Exos X
(WBI)
Exos X
(SMI-S)

The product uses Quantum StorNex Q-Series SMI-S and WBI API interfaces.

Storage connectivity

Allow access from the XorMon NG host to the storage on ports 80 (WBI) and 5988 (SMI-S).
If you use https and secure SMI-S then test ports 443 and 5989 instead.
If you use storage cmd line configuration like in examples below (you can use the storage UI instead) then port 22 (ssh) must be open.

Make sure that secure SMI-S (port 5989) and WBI HTTPS (port 443) protocols are enabled on the storage

CMD line:

$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname>
# show protocols
  Service and Security Protocols
  ------------------------------
  Web Browser Interface (HTTP): Enabled
  Secure Web Browser Interface (HTTPS): Enabled
  Command Line Interface (Telnet): Disabled
  Secure Command Line Interface (SSH): Enabled
  Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S): Enabled
  Unsecure Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S 5988): Disabled
  ...

If secure SMI-S or WBI HTTPS are not enabled:

# set protocols smis enabled
# set protocols https enabled

Create user xormon on the storage with monitor and standard roles, allow SMI-S and WBI.
- CMD line method:
  Adjust password to your preferred one from used Test1234.
```
$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname>
# create user interfaces smis,wbi locale English password Test1234 roles monitor,standard xormon  
```
- UI:
  
  (example uses 'stor2rrd' user but use 'xormon' preferable)
Note for HPE MSA 2050 (firmware VL270P002-02 and newer perhaps): role "standard" is necessary for WBI access.

XorMon NG storage configuration

Add storage into configuration from the UI:
XorMon NG UI: Settings icon ➡ Device ➡Storage ➡ New ➡ Vendor:device ➡ Seagate Exos X ➡ SMI-S

If you set https in above storage properties then this must be enabled on the storage:

$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname>
# show protocols
  ...
  Secure Web Browser Interface (HTTPS): Enabled
  Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S): Enabled
  ...

If you use http then this:

  Web Browser Interface (HTTP): Enabled
  Unsecure Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S 5988): Enabled

Do not use shell special characters like @#!?|$*[]\{}`"'& in the password, use rather ;:.+- instead.
Run "Test" for configured storage device, it must show "OK"
Wait about 1 hour, then reload the web browser, you should see it in XorMon NG UI

The product uses storage WBI API interfaces natively provided by the storage.
WBI access must be used on new storage models which do not support SMI-S protocol.

Storage connectivity

Allow access from the XorMon NG host to the storage on ports 443.

Make sure that secure and WBI HTTPS (port 443) protocol is enabled on the storage

CMD line:

$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname>
# show protocols
  Service and Security Protocols
  ------------------------------
  ...
  Secure Web Browser Interface (HTTPS): Enabled
  ...

If secure WBI HTTPS is not enabled:

# set protocols https enabled

Create user xormon on the storage with monitor and standard roles, allow WBI.
- CMD line method:
  Adjust password to your preferred one from used Test1234.
```
$ ssh -l manage <storage_hostname>
# create user interfaces wbi locale English password Test1234 roles monitor,standard xormon
```
- UI:
