SMI-S Compliant SAN Switches

Description

This connector discovers the enclosure and fiber-channel ports of SAN switches as well as the various environment sensors (temperatures, fans, power supplies, etc.). It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant switches only.

Connector ID: SMISSwitch

This connector is superseded by:

Target

Typical platform: Any SMI-S compliant SAN switch

Operating system: Storage System

Prerequisites

Leverages: SMI-S Agent provided by the switch vendor

Technology and protocols: WBEM

Examples

CLI

hws HOSTNAME -t storage -f SMISSwitch --wbem -u USER

hws-config.yaml

hosts:
- host:
    hostname: <HOSTNAME> # Change with actual host name
    type: storage
  selectedConnectors: [ SMISSwitch ] # Optional, to load only this connector
  wbem:
    protocol: https
    port: 5989
    username: <USERNAME> # Change with actual credentials
    password: <PASSWORD> # Encrypted using hws-encrypt

Connector Activation Criteria

The SMI-S Compliant SAN Switches connector will be automatically activated, and its status will be reported as OK if all the below criteria are met:

  • The WBEM query below to the managed host succeeds:
    • Namespace: Automatic
    • WQL Query: SELECT Dedicated FROM CIM_ComputerSystem
    • Result contains: ^5|;*$ (regex)
  • The WBEM query below to the managed host succeeds:
    • Namespace: Automatic
    • WQL Query: SELECT PortType FROM CIM_FCPort
    • Result contains: ^\(14\)\|\(15\)\|\(16\)\|\(17\)\|\(18\);$ (regex)
