Checklist Summary:

The HPE Nimble Storage Array is an enterprise-grade storage array with a number of implementation topologies. The storage solution includes a host server and one or more switches. Device management is performed directly via network access. The device has NimbleOS, which is an embedded Linux with no admin configuration or access. The Nimble implementation includes a host server and may include one or more switches. These devices are out of scope for the HPE Nimble Storage Array STIG but must be secured using an applicable STIG. Connection to the host server can be via various methods, including fibre channel or Internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI), which have different security implications. The HPE Nimble Storage Array STIG provides security policy and technical configuration requirements for the use of the Nimble Storage Array in the Department of Defense (DoD).
