Checking User Configurations on Huawei Storage

After Huawei storage is connected to the container platform, Huawei CSI needs to manage storage resources on Huawei storage based on service requirements, such as creating and mapping volumes. In this case, Huawei CSI needs to use the users created on Huawei storage to communicate with Huawei storage. The following table lists the user information required for different storage devices.
