Table 34. Supported SMI-S profiles (continued)
Profile/subprofile/package Description
Disk Sparing subprofile Provides the ability to describe the current spare disk configuration, to allocate/de-allocate spare
disks, and to clear the state of unavailable disk drives.
Object Manager Adapter
subprofile
Allows the client to manage the Object Manager Adapters of a SMI Agent. In particular, it can be used
to turn the indication service on and off.
Thin Provisioning profile Specializes the Block Services Package to add support for thin provisioning of volumes. SMI-S does
not support the creation of virtual pools. However, a client can create virtual volumes.
Pools from Volumes profile Models a pool created from other volumes. This profile is used in conjunction with the Thin
Provisioning profile to model virtual storage pools.
Block Server Performance subprofile
The implementation of the block server performance subprofile allows use of the CIM_BlockStorageStatisticalData classes and
their associations, and the GetStatisticsCollection, CreateManifestCollection, AddOrModifyManifest and
RemoveManifest methods.
The Block Server Performance subprofile collection of statistics updates at 60-second intervals.
CIM
Supported CIM operations
SFCB provides a full set of CIM operations including GetClass, ModifyClass, CreateClass, DeleteClass,
EnumerateClasses, EnumerateClassNames, GetInstance, DeleteInstance, CreateInstance,
ModifyInstance, EnumerateInstances, EnumerateInstanceNames, InvokeMethod (MethodCall),
ExecQuery, Associators, AssociatorNames, References, ReferenceNames, GetQualifier, SetQualifier,
DeleteQualifier, EnumerateQualifiers, GetProperty and SetProperty.
CIM Alerts
The implementation of alert indications allows a subscribing CIM client to receive events such as FC cable connects, Power Supply events,
Fan events, Temperature Sensor events and Disk Drive events.
If the storage system’s SMI-S interface is enabled, the system will send events as indications to SMI-S clients so that SMI-S clients can
monitor system performance. For information about enabling the SMI-S interface, see SMI-S configuration.
In a dual-controller configuration, both controller A and B alert events are sent via controller A’s SMI-S provider.
The event categories in the following table pertain to FRU assemblies and certain FRU components.
