Introduction

The Dell PowerVault Modular Disk (MD) storage arrays provide an industry

standard application programming interface (API) called the Storage

Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S). This interface enables third

party SMI-S client applications to manage MD storage arrays in a multi-vendor

storage area network (SAN) environment.

SMI-enabled management applications are known as CIM clients. To allow

clients to manage a storage device, an SMI-S Provider (also called SMI-S

Agent or CIM Agent) is required. SMI-S Providers can be implemented as:

•

A proxy interface that translates the existing API of a device to an SMI-S

compliant interface. This implementation is the quickest path to SMI-S

compliance, but a proxy provider and a Common Information Model

Object Manager (CIMOM) must be installed on a server. A CIMOM is a

CIM/WBEM infrastructure that receives, validates, and authenticates

CIM requests from the client application. The CIMOM directs the

requests to the appropriate device provider.

•

A native feature of the storage device API. This implementation is

sometimes referred to as an embedded agent.

Dell MD SMI-S Provider is implemented as a proxy interface. The Dell

SMI-S Provider, referred to as SMI-S Provider, runs on a server on the storage

network. OpenPegasus CIMOM is installed during the installation of this

SMI-S Provider.

The SMI-S Provider provides the SMI-S interface to the Dell PowerVault

Modular Disk storage array family. The provider uses the proxy CIM Agent

model and is supported on Microsoft Windows and Linux platforms only. For

more information about the platform versions, see the Support Matrix for the

MD storage arrays at support.dell.com/manuals.
