storage implementation can accommodate redundant controllers. See Figure 2 in section 6.1. This is

modeled using SNIA Multiple Computer Systems profile and uses HPSA_RedundancySet to show a

collection of controllers in a redundant configuration. The controllers are associated to the Top Level

System via CIM_ComponentCS. In the case of externally connected controllers, the front end port is

modeled on the connection type to the host (e.g. CIM_SPIPort).

PhysicalPackage package is used to model the chassis (containing the array controller(s) and optionally a

storage enclosure) that is external to the host.

Figure 5 – HP Smart Array profile: Block Services Class Diagram

The Block services profile is used to model the logical storage that is presented by the Array system.

In this implementation, there will be one Primordial Pool to represent all the raw storage managed by the

Array system (HPSA_PrimordialPool). The Primordial Pool instance shall be associated to the Top Level

System via CIM_HostedStoragePool. All concrete pools will be allocated from this primordial pool. All
