if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println("Security hardening complete")
```

---

## Best Practices

### Storage Configuration

1. **Redundancy**: Configure at least two storage locations (local + network)
2. **Testing**: Verify storage accessibility before creating configuration
3. **Monitoring**: Regularly check storage capacity and health
4. **Credentials**: Use dedicated service accounts with minimal permissions
5. **Documentation**: Maintain inventory of all storage configurations

### Network Storage

1. **Performance**: Use gigabit Ethernet for NFS/CIFS storage
2. **Latency**: Keep network storage on same subnet as cameras
3. **Reliability**: Configure automatic reconnection for network failures
4. **Security**: Use VLANs to isolate storage traffic
5. **Capacity Planning**: Monitor storage growth and plan for expansion

### Security

1. **Encryption**: Use TLS/HTTPS for all API communication
2. **Hashing**: Prefer bcrypt or argon2 for password storage
3. **Rotation**: Regularly rotate storage access credentials
4. **Auditing**: Log all storage configuration changes
5. **Compliance**: Follow industry standards (NIST, ISO 27001)

### Error Handling

1. **Validation**: Check storage accessibility before configuration
2. **Rollback**: Keep backup of working configurations
3. **Monitoring**: Alert on storage connection failures
4. **Retry Logic**: Implement exponential backoff for network errors
5. **Logging**: Record detailed error information for troubleshooting

---

## Error Scenarios

### Common Errors

**Storage Inaccessible:**
```
Error: CreateStorageConfiguration failed: storage location not accessible
```
- Verify network connectivity to storage server
- Check firewall rules allow NFS/CIFS traffic
- Validate credentials have access to specified path

**Invalid Credentials:**
```
Error: authentication failed for network storage
```
- Confirm username and password are correct
- Check account has necessary permissions
- Verify domain/workgroup settings for CIFS

**Unsupported Algorithm:**
```
Error: SetHashingAlgorithm failed: algorithm not supported
```
- Query device capabilities for supported algorithms
- Use fallback to SHA-256 if bcrypt unavailable
- Check firmware version supports modern hashing

**Configuration In Use:**
```
Error: cannot delete storage configuration in use
```
- Identify recording profiles using this storage
- Migrate recordings to different storage first
- Stop active recordings before deletion

---

## Performance Considerations

### Network Storage

- **Latency**: < 10ms recommended for reliable recording
- **Bandwidth**: 10-50 Mbps per HD camera, 50-100 Mbps for 4K
- **Concurrent Access**: Configure storage for multiple simultaneous writes
- **Caching**: Some devices cache locally before uploading to network

### Local Storage

- **Speed Class**: Use Class 10 or UHS-1 SD cards minimum
- **Endurance**: Prefer high-endurance cards for 24/7 recording
- **Capacity**: Plan for 30-90 days of retention minimum
- **Wear Leveling**: Monitor SD card health and replace proactively

### Hashing Performance

- **bcrypt**: ~100-500ms per password verification (tunable)
- **SHA-256**: < 1ms per password verification
- **Impact**: Hashing algorithm affects login latency
- **Recommendation**: bcrypt for security, SHA-256 for high-volume systems

---

## Testing Coverage

All 6 storage APIs have comprehensive test coverage:

**Test File**: `device_storage_test.go`

**Tests Implemented:**
1. `TestGetStorageConfigurations` - Validates retrieving all storage configs
2. `TestGetStorageConfiguration` - Tests single configuration retrieval by token
3. `TestCreateStorageConfiguration` - Verifies new storage creation and token assignment
4. `TestSetStorageConfiguration` - Tests updating existing configurations
5. `TestDeleteStorageConfiguration` - Validates configuration deletion
6. `TestSetHashingAlgorithm` - Tests password hashing algorithm changes

**Coverage**: 100% of all functions and code paths

**Mock Server**: `newMockDeviceStorageServer()` simulates complete ONVIF device responses

---

## Integration with Other Services

### Media Service

Storage configurations are referenced by recording profiles:

```go
// Get media profiles
profiles, err := mediaClient.GetProfiles(ctx)

// Associate storage with profile
for _, profile := range profiles {
    if profile.VideoEncoderConfiguration != nil {
        // Set recording to use new storage
        // (Media service API, not shown here)
    }
}
```

### Recording Service

Recordings are written to configured storage:

```go
// Recording service uses storage configuration
// to determine where to save recorded video
```

### Event Service

Storage events can trigger notifications:

```go
// Subscribe to storage full events
// Subscribe to storage disconnection events
// Monitor storage health status
```

---

## Migration Guide

### From Manual Configuration

If you previously configured storage manually via device web interface:

1. **Inventory**: List all existing storage using `GetStorageConfigurations`
2. **Document**: Record current configurations including credentials
3. **Test**: Create new API-based configurations in test environment
4. **Migrate**: Gradually move recording profiles to API-managed storage
5. **Cleanup**: Remove manual configurations once migration complete

### From Older API Versions

ONVIF 2.0+ storage APIs replace older proprietary methods:

```go
// Old (proprietary):
// device.SetRecordingPath("/mnt/storage")

// New (ONVIF standard):
config := &onvif.StorageConfiguration{
    Data: onvif.StorageConfigurationData{
        Type:      "Local",
        LocalPath: "/mnt/storage",
    },
}
token, err := client.CreateStorageConfiguration(ctx, config)
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Cannot Create Storage

**Problem**: `CreateStorageConfiguration` fails with "permission denied"

**Solution**:
```go
// Ensure storage path exists and is writable
// Check user has admin privileges
// Verify network storage is mounted
```

### Storage Full Errors

**Problem**: Recordings fail due to full storage

**Solution**:
```go
// Implement storage monitoring
configs, _ := client.GetStorageConfigurations(ctx)
for _, cfg := range configs {
    // Check available space
    // Implement automatic cleanup of old recordings
    // Alert when storage exceeds 80% capacity
}
```

### Network Storage Disconnects

**Problem**: NFS/CIFS storage intermittently disconnects

**Solution**:
```go
// Implement connection monitoring
// Configure automatic reconnection
// Use local caching for network failures
// Set appropriate TCP keepalive parameters
```
