EMC VNX Storage Configuration
What is Discovered and Monitored
Like EMC Clarion, FortiSIEM uses Navisec CLI to discover the device and to collect performance metrics. The only difference is that a slightly different command and XML formatted output is used.

Configuration
Installing the NaviSecCLI Library in FortiSIEM
Changing NaviSecCLI Credentials
If you change the NaviSecCLI credentials on your EMC Clarion device, the certificates may also be changed and naviseccli may prompt you to accept new certificates. This should only happen the first time after a certificate change, however, FortiSIEM discovery and performance monitoring will fail. You must run NaviSecCLI manually on each Supervisor and Worker in your deployment and accept the certificate, and then rediscover your EMC Clarion device for performance monitoring to resume.
Configuration of your EMC Clarion storage device involves installing EMC's NaviSecCLI library in your FortiSIEM virtual appliance, and then setting the access credentials that the appliance will use to communicate with your device.
- Log in to your FortiSIEM virtual appliance as
root. -
Copy the file
NaviCLI-Linux-64-x86-versionxyz.rpmto the FortiSIEM directory. -
Run

Make sure that the Navisphere Analyzer module is on.
If the module is off, performance metrics will not be available and discovery will fail.

Setting the IP Address for Credential Mapping
Enter the Storage Processor IP address when you associate your device's access credentials to an IP address during the credential set up process. Do not enter any other IP address, such as the Control Station IP.
Settings for Access Credentials
Use these Access Method Definition settings to allow FortiSIEM to access your EMC VNX storage device over NaviSecCLI.
