Foglight™ for Storage Management - Huawei and Quest Software SMI-S Based Storage Monitoring
6
Introduction
The Foglight™ for Huawei storage SMI-S monitoring plugin is installed in the FSM system. After the installation,
the FSM can manage Huawei devices - collecting, persisting, and analyzing the system information, LUNs,
Pools, controllers and Disks of device components under surveillance.
The interoperability is created based on SMI-S standard which owned by industry consortium SNIA, and
supported by a list of vendors and consumers.

Introduction
2
What is SMI-S
The SMI-S, developed by the SMI organization of the SNIA, is an open standard used to manage storage
networks of multiple vendors. The SMI-S defines a set of secure and reliable interfaces that help the storage
management system identify, classify, and monitor physical and logical resources in a storage area network
(SAN).
Based on the existing technical standards, the SMI-S covers:
● Common information model (CIM) - The CIM is developed by a distributed management task force
(DMTF) to describe concept models of data. The CIM uses a layered object-oriented system structure to
model for managed resources. Devices and components can thus be described in an object-oriented
manner.
● Web-based enterprise management (WBEM) - The WBEM is an enterprise-class management system

structure developed by a DMTF. The WBEM assembles management protocols and standard Internet
technologies for unified management in a distributed operating environment, improving data exchange
capabilities across technologies and platforms.
● Service location protocol (SLP) - The SLP is used to discover the SMI-S server and its functions in a
storage network environment.
Figure 2-1 SMI-S Architecture [2]
As an open standard, the SMI-S expands general-purpose capabilities of the CIM, WBEM, and SLP to achieve
interoperability in a storage network environment. For example, the WBEM provides security, resource lock
management, and event notification.

What is SMI-S
3
What type of data could be collected

with SMI-S
SMI-S defines a method for the interoperable management of a heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN),
and describes the information available to a WBEM Client from an SMI-S compliant CIM Server and an object-
oriented, XML-based, messaging-based interface designed to support the specific requirements of managing
devices in and through SANs. This following provides an overview of the functionality matrix approach for
describing the management functionality provided by the SMI-S.
Table 3-1: Functionality matrix
The lowest level of the multi-level model of networked storage management functionality applies to managing the
basic physical aspects of the elements found in a networked storage environment, and the upper levels are
involved with managing the different logical levels supported by these managed elements. Each level in this
model depends upon the lower levels being in place.
Shown in top-down order, the functionality levels are:
● (Level 5) Application Level Functionality,
● (Level 4) File/Record Level Functionality,
● (Level 3) Block Level Functionality,
● (Level 2) Connectivity Level Functionality,
● (Level 1) Device Level Functionality.
Managed physical elements in a networked storage environment shall support Level 1 functionality, and may
support additional functionality levels as well, depending upon the logical capabilities of the managed physical
element. The functionality supported by a managed element will normally involve a contiguous set of levels in this

What type of data could be collected with SMI-S
model. If a managed physical element supports functionality for a particular upper level, then it will also support
functionality for each level between that level and Level 1.
For more information about the SMI-S, please get the detail information from the SNIA.

Root cause diagnostic

Foglight™ for Storage Management combines information from VMware and Hyper-V to provide unified data
analysis from the VM to the physical disk spindle. FSM delivers the full view of virtualization performance by:
● Uncovering when VM performance issues are originating within storage hardware
● Identifying which VMs will be impacted by storage issues or planned storage hardware maintenance
● Exposing physical storage capacity as a component of VM performance
● Allowing the virtualization administrators and the storage administrators to troubleshoot from a single
pane of glass
● Uncover storage issues impacting VMs Determine whether VM performance issues are originating in the
host, fabric or storage array. Drill down into the specific metrics of each target device for granular detail
about current or historical performance issues to pinpoint the root cause of a given degradation. With the
end-to-end virtual infrastructure monitoring, with logical visualization to help identify bottlenecks in the
