IBM DS6000/8000 Disk Arrays

This connector discovers the enclosure and the disks of IBM SAN disk arrays, as well as the storage pools and storage volumes. It also discovers and monitors the FC ports, physical and logical disks of the array. It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant disk arrays only.

This connector supersedes:

SMISDiskArray^[2]

Target

Typical platforms: IBM DS6000 DS8000

Operating system: Storage System

Prerequisites

Leverages: IBM SMI-S Agent (IBM System Storage DS6000/DS8000 Storage Manager)

Technology and protocols: WBEM
