Overview

Permission Requirement: To be monitored by SRM, the Nimble Storage array requires a user account with at least the OPERATOR permission type. This is the least-privileged role required for successful monitoring.

HPE Nimble storage arrays are monitored through onboard REST API on the array group leader. It should be used in conjunction with the Add your storage array for monitoring with SRM topic in the Success Center documentation or online help.

The HPE Nimble array needs to have version 4.3.0 or higher firmware installed.

The HPE Nimble Storage array does not require special configuration to be monitored by SRM.

For further information, see the documentation that came with your array, visit HPE Nimble Support Services, or contact your vendor.
