Before adding the policy: A Data Collector must exist in the Portal, to which you will add Data Collector Policies. See Adding/Editing Data Collectors. For specific prerequisites and supported configurations, see Prerequisites for Adding Data Collectors (Hitachi NAS - HNAS) and the Hitachi Storage Viewer Certified Configurations Guide.

This Data Collector policy collects from Hitachi NAS. To collect block storage shared with HNAS, you must also create a separate data collector policy for the relevant supported vendor storage; for example, Hitachi Storage. If that policy is a Hitachi Block Storage policy, you must specify the IP address of the Hitachi Device Manager that manages the array that shares capacity with HNAS.
