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.

  • 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.

Note

  • 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".
