Life cycle indications

The SMI-S interface provides CIM life cycle indications for changes in the physical and logical devices in the storage system. The SMI-S provider supports all mandatory elements and certain optional elements in SNIA SMI-S specification version 1.5.0. CIM Query Language (CQL) and Windows Management Instrumentation Query Language (WQL) are both supported, with some limitations to the CQL indication filter. The provider supports additional life cycle indications that the Windows Server 2012 operating system requires.
