The HDS NAS (HNAS) data source is an inventory and configuration data source to support discovery of HDS NAS clusters. Insight supports discovering NFS and CIFS shares, file systems (Insight Internal Volumes), and spans (Insight Storage Pools).

This data source is SSH based, so the acquisition unit that will host it needs to be able to initiate SSH sessions to TCP 22 on the HNAS itself, or the Systems Management Unit (SMU) that the cluster is connected to.
