Hitachi NAS Platform

When you are in the HNAS environment, the admin EVS IP address is required to invoke any file API. Do not confuse this management IP address with the system management unit (SMU) IP address.

1. Log in to the NAS Manager (this is the GUI software within the HNAS product). From the server settings region click EVS Management. NAS Manager displays the EVS Management window:
   
   

   

   
   
2. In the Type column of the EVS list, identify the EVS that has the "admin services" type. This is the administrative EVS.
3. Examine the IP address of this EVS in the First IP Address column.
4. If the administrative EVS is a reachable public server, record the IP address in the First IP Address column and exit the EVS Management window. If the administrative EVS is not a reachable public server, click Details at the far right of the administrative server row to display the EVS Details window as shown in the following figure. Record the IP address of the reachable public server in the IP addresses list.
   
   

   

   
   
   You now have a valid admin EVS IP address that you can use for HNAS API requests.
