Storage
Management
Initiative
Specification A standard management interface developed by the Storage Networking Industry Association
(SNIA). SMI-S provides a common interface and facilitates the management of storage devices
from multiple vendors. SMI-S uses industry-standard
common information model and Web-Based
Enterprise Management technology.
storage systems SAN-attached Fibre Channel disk arrays, switches, tape libraries, or hosts (with Fibre Channel
host bus adapters).
subnet On TCP/IP networks, subnets are all systems whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For
example, all systems with IP addresses that start with 10.10.10. would be part of the same subnet.
system Systems on the network that communicate through TCP/IP. To manage a system, some type of
management protocol (for example, SNMP, or WBEM) must be present on the system. Examples
of systems include servers, workstations, desktops, portables, routers, switches, hubs, and
gateways.
system group A group of systems based on a system collection; a static snapshot of the source collection at the
time the system group was created. Used for authorizations.
system health
status This is aggregate status all of the status sources (which can be SNMP, WBEM, and HTTP) that
are supported on a target system, with the most critical status being displayed. The following are
the different system health statuses that can be displayed:
•
Critical
Systems Insight Manager can no longer communicate with the system. The system was
previously discovered but cannot be pinged. The system might be down, powered off, or
no longer accessible on the network because of network problems.
•
Major
A major problem exists with this system. It should be addressed immediately. For systems
running an Insight Management Agents, some component has failed. The system might no
longer be properly functioning, and data loss can occur.
•
Minor
A minor problem exists with this system. For systems running Insight Management Agent,
some component has failed but the system is still functioning.
•
Warning
The system has a potential problem or is in a state that might become a problem.
•
Normal
The system is functioning correctly.
•
Disabled
The system is disabled from monitoring but is not necessarily turned off.
•
Unknown
Systems Insight Manager cannot obtain management information about the system.
•
Informational
The system might be in a transitional or non-error state.
system
