HP 3PAR CIM Support
The following sections provide information about the HP 3PAR CIM API provided with HP 3PAR
OS Version 3.1.3.
Standard Compliance
• The HP 3PAR CIM Server supports SMI-S version 1.1.0.
• The HP 3PAR CIM API passes SNIA-CTP conformance. For additional information, see http://
www.snia.org.
SMI-S Profiles
SMI-S defines profiles that are used to manage the elements of a SAN. These SMI-S Profiles are
described in detail in the HP 3PAR CIM API Programming Reference.
Supported Extensions
The HP 3PAR CIM server supports additional classes that provide management for system specific
features not covered by SMI-S. For more information, see the HP 3PAR CIM API Programming
Reference.
CIM Indications
SMI-S provides for asynchronous notification of events that indicate changes in the CIM server or
the managed elements that are controlled by the CIM server. CIM Indications are the mechanism
for delivery of such events. A CIM client must subscribe to indications that it wants to receive the
event notifications from the CIM server. For detailed information regarding indications, see SMI-S
at the following website:
http://www.snia.org
The HP 3PAR CIM Server currently supports indication subscriptions for changes in the operational
status of FC ports. For more information, see the HP 3PAR CIM API Programming Reference.
