vScope uses SMI-S to read SAN storage data from various vendors. SMI-S is also used to connect SAN to Microsoft Hyper-V. A good start when enabling SMI-S for vScope is therefore to enable SMI-S for SCVMM. Read more in resources below:

To our knowledge, Dell Equallogic does not support SMI-S.
EMC VNX

HP 3PAR
SMI-S feature must be enabled. If disabled, enable it via the 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) using the command “startcim”. To check status of the SMI-S Provider use the command “showcim”. Restart the SMI-S Provider by “stopcim –f –x”
Target: Main cabinet
Credentials: Use the highest rights possible
IBM Storwize
- Target: A typical configuration for your CIM client is to use the CIMOM that is located at https://cluster_ip (vScope uses the default port 5989). Read more
- NOTE: Older variants of IBM Storwize have another SMI-S provider on the management IP, although IBM does not recommend using this due to various performance problems. Make sure to use the provider from the cluster IP
- Follow these steps to find the IP for the cluster: From the SVC GUI –> From TestProvider utility or from Confirm Provider in the Profiler GUI config page(only from Profiler version 4.9.1 or greater) –> Connect to the CIMOM on the management Console –> Enumerate CIM_ComputerSystem class. IP of the cluster is part of the identifier for the cluster instance
- On V3700, you may use the CLI to list IP addresses. Issue the lssystemip command to list the current IP addresses that are used by the system. Read more
- Make sure SMI-S is enabled (It is normally enabled by default, but might be disabled in some cases)
- Credentials: Use an account with the highest possible read rights (a “Monitor”-account gives certain info, but an “Operator” gives more. Superuser is the highest role). Read more

Nimble
- Target: SMI-S provider is integrated in the storage array
“Nimble’s implementation of SMI-S is embedded into the storage array, and ready to serve CIM requests from any SMI-S client, right out of the box, without requiring the installation of additional hardware or software.”
