Pure Storage

Add Pure FlashArray//M and FlashArray//X storage systems to get performance, asset, capacity, and configuration metadata analyzed for block storage so that you can detect performance issues, changes in storage usage, and plan for future storage needs.

You can add Pure storage systems by connecting directly to them.

By default, the asset, capacity, and configuration metadata that is collected from storage systems is refreshed every 24 hours. Performance metadata is collected at a default collection interval of 5 minutes.

Use the following information to add Pure storage systems so that they can be monitored and their metadata can be collected, analyzed, and presented in the GUI. Add a Pure storage system by providing the connection information for the storage system.

Supported versions: To view the versions of Pure storage systems that are supported in IBM Storage Insights, go to the Pure Storage support page.
Antivirus software restriction: If your antivirus software is set on the maximum mode, it might prevent your Pure FlashArray//M and FlashArray//X storage systems from being added to IBM Storage Insights. For more information about how to configure your antivirus software, see Before you begin checklist for IBM Storage Insights.

Add Pure FlashArray//M and FlashArray//X

When you select Pure FlashArray//M or FlashArray//X, you can add one or more storage systems by entering their connection information.
Connection details
The IP address or host name that you use to connect to the FlashArray//M or FlashArray//X storage system. Depending on what is supported in your environment, you can enter an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) or IPv6 address. If you enter an IPv6 address, the preferred representation is written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. Example: 2001:DB95:0000:1234:0000:0000:5678:ABCD.
Tip: You can use a comma or a space to separate IP addresses or host names.
User Name and Password
The user name and password for logging in to the storage system. The role or user group that is assigned to the user name must have the appropriate privileges to monitor the data that is collected and, if required, to change the frequency of the data collection schedules. Learn more about the role requirements for the user name.
