Setup SMI-S Environment
Overview
This function enables or disables the Storage Management Initiative - Specification (SMI-S).
SMI-S is a standard specification concerning storage management technologies by Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA).
When enabling the SMI-S setting, the storage system can be managed from general storage management applications that support the SMI-S.
To continue using SMI-S when a warning message related to the change of the SSL certificate appears, disable SMI-S and then enable it again.
When enabling or disabling of the SMI-S is being performed, the [Setup SMI-S Environment] action cannot be clicked.
The SMI-S settings and performance information settings cannot be changed if a CM that is not in the "Normal" state exists.
The current SMI-S setting can be checked. Refer to the [System Settings] function for details.
The parameter settings for "SSL Certificate" and "Performance Information" are retained even when the "SMI-S" setting is changed from "Enable" to "Disable".
To enable the performance information response, start the performance monitoring. Refer to the [Start/Stop Performance Monitoring] function for details.
