Description

This connector discovers the enclosure and the disks of SAN disk arrays, as well as the storage pools and storage volumes. It also discovers and monitors the FC ports of the array and various environment sensors when available (temperatures, fans, power supplies, etc.). It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant disk arrays only.

This connector is superseded by:
