Configure Dell PowerStore coverage

To benefit from recurring coverage with Dell PowerStore, you must first fingerprint a Dell PowerStore asset.

You’ll need the asset’s host name or IP address and basic authorization credentials.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you must have a Dell PowerStore asset that has basic authentication configured on it: you will need to specify that user name and password during this configuration. For more information, read the Dell documentation at: https://developer.dell.com/apis/3898/versions/4.1.0/docs/Intro-files/05-Managing-a-REST-API-session/01-Connecting-and-authenticating.md .

On a PowerStore Appliance or a Primary Cluster Appliance, create a user with sufficient rights to access this endpoint: https://developer.dell.com/apis/3898/versions/4.1.0/reference/openapi.json/paths/~1software_installed/get

The operator role should be sufficient. For more information, read the Dell documentation at: https://developer.dell.com/apis/3898/versions/4.1.0/docs/Intro-files/05-Managing-a-REST-API-session/04-Authorization.md .

Configure coverage in Vulnerability Management

To configure Dell PowerStore coverage:

1. From the Vulnerability Management (InsightVM) home screen, click Create Site.
2. Enter a name and a description for the new site, select Hostname or IP Addresses, and click Create.
3. Go to the Assets tab and enter the asset’s hostname or IP address in the Included Assets field.
4. Go to the Authentication tab and click Create Scan Credential.
5. Specify a name and description for the scan credential.
6. In the Service field select Web Site HTTP Authentication.
7. Specify the Basic Authentication user name and password for the Dell PowerStore asset. You are not required to test the credentials, as it might not be successful in locating the correct endpoint.

9. Click Save and Scan.

After the scan completes, the asset appears in the Completed Assets table with the Operating System listed as Dell PowerStoreOS {version number}.
