Listening for managed-logs notifications
For use with the storage system’s managed logs feature, the SMI-S provider can be set up to listen for notifications
that log files have filled to a point that are ready to be transferred to a log-collection system. For more information
about the managed logs feature, see "About managed logs" (page 31).
To set up SMI-S to listen for managed logs notifications:
1. In the CLI, enter this command:
set advanced-settings managed-logs enabled
2. In an SMI-S client:
a. Subscribe using the SELECT * FROM CIM_InstCreation WHERE SourceInstance ISA
CIM_LogicalFile filter.
b. Subscribe using the SELECT * FROM CIM_InstDeletion WHERE SourceInstance ISA
CIM_LogicalFile filter.
Testing SMI-S
Use an SMI-S certified client for SMI-S 1.5. HP has clients such as HP SIM and HP Storage Essentials. Other common
clients are Microsoft System Center, IBM Tivoli, EMC CommandCenter and CA Unicenter. Common WBEM CLI clients
are Pegasus cimcli and Sblim’s wbemcli.
To certify that the array provider is SMI-S 1.5 compliant, SNIA requires that the providers pass the Conformance Test
Program (CTP) tests.
The reset smis-configuration command enables the restoration of your original SMI-S configuration.
Troubleshooting
Table 21 provides solutions to common SMI-S problems.
Table 21 Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
Unable to connect to the
embedded SMI-S Array
provider.
SMI-S protocol is not enabled. Log in to the array as manage and type: set protocol
smis enabled
HTTP Error (Invalid
username/password or 401
Unauthorized).
User preferences are
configurable for each user on
the storage system.
Check that the user has access to the smis interface and set
the user preferences to support the smis interface, if
necessary. See "Adding users" (page 43) for instructions on
how to add users. Also verify the supplied credentials.
Want to connect securely as
user name my_xxxx.
Need to add user. Log in to the array as manage. Type: create user
level manage my_xxxuser and then type: set user
my_xxxuser interfaces wbi,cli,smis
Unable to discover via SLP. SLP multicast has limited range
(known as hops).
Move the client closer to the array or set up a SLP DA server
or using unicast requests.
Unable to determine if SMI-S is
running.
Initial troubleshooting. Install wbemcli on a Linux system by typing: apt-get
install wbemcli
Type: wbemcli -nl -t -noverify ein
