SMI-S profiles 171
The embedded CIMOM can be configured either to listen to secure SMI-S queries from the clients on port 5989 and
require credentials to be provided for all queries, or to listen to unsecure SMI-S queries from the clients on port 5988.
This provider implementation complies with the SNIA SMI-S specification version 1.5.0.
NOTE: Port 5989 and port 5988 cannot be enabled at the same time.
The namespace details are given below.

SMI-S profiles
SMI-S is organized around profiles, which describe objects relevant for a class of storage subsystem. SMI-S includes
profiles for arrays, FC HBAs, FC switches, and tape libraries. Profiles are registered with the CIM server and
advertised to clients using SLP. HP SIM determines which profiles it intends to manage, and then uses the CIM model
to discover the actual configurations and capabilities.
Table 17 Supported SMI-S profiles
Profile/subprofile/package Description
Array profile Describes RAID array systems. It provides a high-level overview of the array system.
Block Services package Defines a standard expression of existing storage capacity, the assignment of capacity to
Storage Pools, and allocation of capacity to be used by external devices or applications.
Physical Package package Models information about a storage system’s physical package and optionally about internal
sub-packages.
Health package Defines the general mechanisms used in expressing health in SMI-S.
Server profile Defines the capabilities of a CIM object manager based on the communication mechanisms
that it supports.
FC Target Ports profile Models the Fibre Channel specific aspects of a target storage system.
SAS Target Ports subprofile Models the SAS specific aspects of a target storage system.
iSCSI Target Ports subprofile Models the iSCSI specific aspects of a target storage system.
