I would like to request the following Product Enhancements to the Hitachi VSP REST API to improve automation capabilities:
- Query and set NTP servers
- Query and disable HTTP (to have only HTTPS enabled for security purposes)
- Manage user IDs
- Query and set login banner
- Query storage encryption status

How can I formally request this?

Thank you

Hello Danilo

Which product are you looking at specifically? VSP5600, B20 etc?

I think I've created security baseline automations for all those tasks. These should be available. Maybe I can show you what you're missing?

Link to the REST API guides below:

https://docs.hitachivantara.com/search/documents?value-filters=Product_custom~%2522Virtual+Storage+Platform+One+Block%2522*PublicationType~%2522API%2522&virtual-field=title_only&content-lang=en-US

A quick look in the guide you can see here that it already exists:
- Query and set NTP servers - https://docs.hitachivantara.com/r/en-us/virtual-storage-platform-g130-g/f350-g/f370-g/f700-g/f900/93-07-2x/mk-23vsp1b003/initial-settings-for-a-storage-system/getting-the-system-date-and-time-of-a-storage-system
- Query and disable HTTP (to have only HTTPS enabled for security purposes) - via the embedded gui REST API
- Manage user IDs https://docs.hitachivantara.com/r/en-us/virtual-storage-platform-g130-g/f350-g/f370-g/f700-g/f900/93-07-2x/mk-23vsp1b003/user-management-and-access-control/adding-users-to-user-groups 
- Query and set login banner  - via the embedded gui REST API
- Query storage encryption status - https://docs.hitachivantara.com/r/en-us/virtual-storage-platform-g130-g/f350-g/f370-g/f700-g/f900/93-07-2x/mk-23vsp1b003/encrypting-data/changing-the-encryption-environment-settings

Hi Prasenjit,

Thanks for sharing AHA link. I already took note and will use in the future.

Hi William,

Thanks for sharing the API calls to check each of those settings. I was looking in another article which did not have all the details the document you mentioned has.

I was able to find all my answers. Really appreciated.

Best regards
