CIM agent classes, methods, and SMI-S profiles supported

The CIM agent classes are the building blocks of the Common Information Model (CIM) agent and use functions such as storage configuration, Copy Services, and logical unit number (LUN) masking. The Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is based on a number of existing technologies that include the CIM.

Table 1 identifies the SMI-S profiles that CIM agent for SAN Volume Controller supports.

SNIA:Storage Virtualizer Storage virtualizers act in a manner similar to RAID arrays but can use storage that is provided by systems that are external to the storage virtualizer and local disks. A storage virtualizer system combines both remote and local storage to create a seamless pool. The virtualization system allocates volumes from the pool for host systems to use. The basic virtualizer system profile provides a read-only view of the system. The various subprofiles extend this description and also enable configuration.	SNIA:Storage Virtualizer:Access Points
