Storage Management White Papers
Managing IBM TotalStorage DS300 / DS400 With IBM Director
Overview IBM Director Version 5.10 added support for managing the IBM TotalStorage DS300 (iSCSI) and DS400 (Fibre) storage subsystems as SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative Specification) storage devices. SMI-S is a standard developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) for storage devices. The SNIA's Storage Management Initiative (SMI) was created to develop and standardize interoperable storage management technologies and aggressively promote them to the storage, networking, and end user communities. Standards such as the SMIS assist users by implementing a consistent and coherent model of the Storage Area Network (SAN) and by delivering simplified, cost-effective management of heterogeneous storage environments.
