6. Introduction The smis-providers contains the providers to instrument the Volumes & Snapshots on the Linux filesystem. These are based on SNIA's SMI-S v 1.2 Volume Management profile & Copy Services profile respectively.

7. Instrumented Classes and Associations 2.1 OMC_CompositeExtent 2.2 OMC_LogicalDisk 2.3 OMC_StorageCapabilities 2.4 OMC_StorageConfigurationCapabilities 2.5 OMC_StorageConfigurationService 2.6 OMC_StorageExtent 2.7 OMC_StoragePool 2.8 OMC_StorageSettingWithHints 2.9 OMC_SystemStorageCapabilities 2.10 OMC_AllocatedFromStoragePool 2.11 OMC_BasedOn 2.12 OMC_CompositeExtentBasedOn 2.13 OMC_HostedStorageConfigurationService 2.14 OMC_HostedStoragePool 2.15 OMC_LogicalDiskDevice 2.16 OMC_StorageConfigurationElementCapabilities 2.17 OMC_StorageElementCapabilities 2.18 OMC_StorageElementSettingData 2.19 OMC_AssociatedComponentExtent 2.20 OMC_AssociatedRemainingExtent 2.21 OMC_StorageSettingsGeneratedFromCapabilities 2.22 OMC_StorageReplicationCapabilities 2.23 OMC_StorageReplicationElementCapabilities 2.24 OMC_StorageSynchronized 2.25 OMC_StorageVolume 2.26 OMC_StorageVolumeAllocatedFromStoragePool 2.27 OMC_StorageVolumeBasedOn 2.28 OMC_StorageVolumeDevice 2.29 OMC_StorageVolumeStorageElementSettingData

8. Requirements & Dependencies 3.1 autoconf 3.2 automake 3.3 gcc 3.4 gcc-c++ 3.5 libsblim-cmpiutil 3.6 sblim-cmpi-base 3.7 sblim-cmpi-devel 3.8 sblim-cmpiutil-devel 3.9 yast2-storage 3.10 yast2-storage-devel 3.11 sblim-sfcb should be running

9. Configuration For the provider to work correctly, the configuration file, i.e. smsetup.conf, should be located at "/etc" directory. A dummy file is already copied under /etc directory. Make neccessary changes to this file to reflect the storage configurations of the host system.

10. Known Issues 4.1 ModifySynchronization (Resync & Rollback) for Snapshot Replica is not supported. 4.2 Snapshots can be only created on the same Storage Pool as the source volume. 4.3 Multiple InPools for creation on a Logical Disk/ Storage Volume is not supported. 4.4 Shrinking of Storage Pools is not supported. 4.5 Creation of following is not supported: 4.5.1 Concrete Storage Pool from Concrete Storage Pool. 4.5.2 Storage Pool/volume from Storage Extents. 4.5.3 Storage Volume from Primordial Storage Pool.
