Hello,
I'm new to NetXMS.
Someone can tell me if there are templates / method to monitor Storage SAN?

Any suggestion will be appreciated

Hi,

I would expect that these devices support SNMP. If this is so, you need to enable snmp on the device and run configuration poll in NetXMS to check if SNMP capablitiy is detected (it's visible on node's Overview page). When this is done, you can use MIB explorer to walk available OIDs and add data collection items.

The other possible approach is to use ssh - in node properties you can specify ssh password or key. Or, if you have many devices, credentials can be specified in Configuration -> Network credentials - these will be auto-probed. If ssh credentials are ok, on configuration poll SSH capability should become "YES".

And, finally, if your device runs under linux, you can try generic NetXMS agents - but this depends on platform/cpu and not necessarily would work
