Hitachi Storage

Overview

The Hitachi Storage integration with Motadata AIOps collects rich inventory and capacity telemetry from Hitachi enterprise arrays (SVP/RMI). It tracks device identity, controllers, cache, channel/LAN boards, parity groups, pools, physical/virtual volumes, LDEVs/LUNs, and efficiency ratios (compression/dedupe), enabling capacity planning, troubleshooting, and SLA reporting.

Prerequisites

The Hitachi SVP/RMI endpoint is reachable from Motadata AIOps.
A read-only user (or API token) with access to inventory, capacity, and configuration objects is configured.
Required ports are open (SVP/RMI/HTTPS as applicable).
The storage system is added to discovery with correct credentials.
