Hi,

What is your use case for SMI-S ?

Rainer

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for your reply.

Using the EMC Unisphere i am able to view the different objects like Checkpoints, Dedupe settings, iSCSI luns etc but i am not finding a way to retrieve them using the SMI-S.

Is there a way to retrieve these details using SMI-S?

Thanks

What are you planning to use the SMI-S API for ?

Are you writing our using 3rd party software ?

Rainer

Hi Rainer,

We are evaluating SMI-S as an interface to query EMC Celerra for storage reporting.

Thanks,

Hi,

Moved the current discussion from Unified Storage to Celerra Support Forum.

Probably all discussions related to Celerra must be moved to Celerra Forum so that there will not be any confusion.

Thanks,

Whats described in the SMI-S programmers manual is whats implemented.

I think the items you mentioned arent part of the SNIA nashead profile so they werent implemented.

Rainer

Hi Rainer,

Thanks for the reply.

I verified that the NAS Head profile lists the following but they are marked to be Optional.

Filesystem Performance      SNIA 1.4.0 Optional

FileSystem Quotas             SNIA 1.4.0 Optional

File System Copy Services  SNIA 1.4.0 Optional

FC Initiator Ports                 SNIA 1.4.0 Optional

Any ideas if these profiles would be added in the upcoming releases of Celerra SMI-S?

This information would help us take a decision on using XML / SMI-S to query Celerra for reporting

Thanks,

Abishek

I wouldn't count on it and use what's available now.
