Setting up managed storage systems
Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is a Storage Networking Industry Association
(SNIA) standard that enables interoperable management for storage networks and storage devices.
HP Systems Insight Manager uses this standard to discover and manage the storage systems it
supports.
You must have a storage system's WBEM SMI-S provider installed and configured on a managed
node for HP Systems Insight Manager to discover SAN storage. This includes storage devices such
as Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel host bus
adapters.)
See the HP Systems Insight Manager SMI-S Provider webpage, http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim/
providers, to view the latest information regarding HP Systems Insight Manager support for a
particular device. This webpage offers information on obtaining, installing, and configuring SMI-S
providers.
Installing SMI-S providers
Each storage vendor provides the SMI-S provider and installation instructions for its storage system.
The webpage referenced in the previous section provides information on obtaining SMI-S providers.
Also, consult the storage vendor's website or representative for more information regarding their
SMI-S providers. For each storage system:
1. Verify that the applicable SMI-S provider is installed.
2. If the SMI-S provider is not installed, obtain and install it per the vendor's installation instructions.
Verifying SSL
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider's port number or password. Use
the provider's documentation to perform these modifications.
For example, if two CIMOMs exist on the same host, you must configure them to use different ports
to communicate with the CMS.
Configuring SMI-S providers
Occasionally, it might be necessary to modify an SMI-S provider's port number or password. Use
the provider's documentation to perform these modifications.
