SMI-S configuration 175
SMI-S configuration
In the default SMI-S configuration:
• The secure SMI-S protocol is enabled, which is the recommended protocol for SMI-S.
• The SMI-S interface is enabled for the manage user.
Table 20 lists the CLI commands relevant to the SMI-S protocol:
To configure the SMI-S interface for other users:
1. Log in as manage
2. If the user does not already exist, create one using this command:
create user level manage username
3. Type this command:
set user username interfaces wbi,cli,smis,ftp
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.
