SMI-S Compliant Storage Libraries

Description

This connector discovers the enclosure of a storage library as well as its specialized devices: tape drives, cartridges, media changers, etc. It also discovers and monitors the FC ports of the array and various environment sensors when available (temperatures, fans, power supplies, etc.). It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant tape libraries only.

Connector file name: MS_HW_SMISLibrary.hdf

This connector is superseded by:

Target

Typical platform: Any SMI-S compliant storage library
