What is SMI-S?

SMI-S is the Storage Management Initiative Specification. It is an ISO and ANSI standard. It is a set of object-oriented interfaces designed to make it easier for heterogeneous storage hardware and software from multiple vendors to work together under a controlled set of interoperable standards. Plug & Play The Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA) Consortium is charted with Development, Acceptance, and Certification of the SMI-Specifications.

y EMC view

Why use SMI-S?

Common object model
Symmetrix, CLARiiON, Celerra, Invista, Centera, CDL Base classes have properties than can be shared

Common management
Single user interface possible for EMC devices

Allows vendor extensions

Each EMC device can have extensions to the base classes

Transport protocol
One transport protocol that can be both public and private

y IT view
SMI-S delivers increased flexibility and freedom of choice
Management applications can configure and control multivendor environment (array, switch, HBA, tape library) No need to purchase or operate different management apps for each device

Reduces management costs

Reduces training requirements for multiple management apps Reduced complexity and increased normalization in managing SAN 2007 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

Web-Based Enterprise Management

Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is a platform- and resourceindependent DMTF standard that defines both a common model (i.e., description) and protocol (i.e., interface) for monitoring and controlling resources from diverse sources (e.g., different types of platforms or different types of resources on the same platform).

WBEM is a DMTF standard that is defined by a set of standards that include:

WHAT Common Information Model (CIM):

Distributed Management Task Force, Inc.

CIM Data Description

A Data Description Standard that describes the resources to be managed.

HOW

CIM-XML: A Communication Protocol Standard that defines an encoding and a transport protocol.
DMTF Board Members: Cisco, Dell Computer Corp., EMC, Hewlett-Packard Company, IBM, Intel Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, NEC Corporation, Novell, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Symantec Corporation, VERITAS Software, WBEM Solutions

Encoding CIM-XML

What is CIM (Common Information Model)?

y CIM is the object model for WBEM y Provides a common definition of management information for systems, networks, applications, and services, and is composed of a Specification and a Schema
CIM Specification
Defines the integration details with other management models

CIM Schema
Is specified by MOF and provides the actual model descriptions The latest version of the CIM Schema is V2.9/V2.10

y CIM Schema is specified by MOF (Managed Object Format) y Allows vendor extensions

WBEM Communication Protocol

y CIM-XML is a DMTF WBEM Communication Protocol Standard that provides a formal description of the operations, protocol, and encoding used between the client and server and includes:
Use of the CIM Specification & CIM Schema for the representation of managed resources. CIM Operations: A standard set of operations for monitoring and managing CIM Modeled resources. A CIM-XML Encoding: A standard for encoding CIM data and operations into XML. An HTTP Transport Protocol: The definition of a standard protocol for transporting CIM-XML encoded requests and responses over HTTP.

y Service Location Protocol (SLP): A standard that provides a way for applications to identify and interact with WBEM management systems.

CIM Operation Solution Components

Management Node CIM Client CIM Operations CIM Server A CIM Server receives and processes CIM Operation requests and issues CIM Operation responses. A CIM Provider translates CIM formatted requests into resource-specific operations and translates resource-specific responses into CIM formatted responses. A Managed Resource is a manageable entity (e.g., memory, process, system, application, network) plus the resourcespecific instrumentation capable of monitoring and controlling the resource.

Indication Generation & Delivery

Event. The occurrence of a phenomenon of interest. For example, an event can denote the occurrence of a disk write error, a failed authentication attempt, or even a mouse click. Indication. The representation of the occurrence of an event. Indication Subscription. The process of registering to receive indications. Indication Delivery. The process of transporting one or more indications to a designated destination. The intended protocol and destination are specified as part of the subscription definition. Subscription Client. A CIM Client application that creates subscriptions.

y Client developers benefits:

Summary of WBEM Benefits

Common definition of data Standard mechanism to access management data Degree of isolation from hardware and software changes Reduced cost of developing multivendor, multiplatform, secure solutions

y Provider developers benefits:

Common definition of data Potential for low-cost, tight integration with a wealth of applications and systems Reduced cost of developing multivendor, multiplatform, secure solutions

y WBEM simplifies adoption by:

Advocating evolution not revolution Relying on existing, pervasive standards and technologies

Modeling LUN Provisioning in an Array

LUN Masking and Mapping of a volume is applied to one or more host HBA Fibre Channel or iSCSI ports. Volumes are created from concrete pools. For each, a setting is created that specifies performance and availability (QoS). One or more concrete pools is created from the primordial pool from which volumes can be created. Raw disks are aggregated into a primordial pool of storage from which concrete pools can be allocated.
