Storage Management Initiative

Abstract

The Storage Management Initiative Technical Work Group (SMI TWG) is responsible for the maintenance and evolution of the SNIA Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S). SMI-S defines an interface for the interoperable management of a heterogeneous Storage Area Network (SAN). It describes the information available to a WBEM Client from an SMI-S compliant CIM Server via an object-oriented, XML-based, messaging-based interface designed to support the specific requirements of managing devices in and through SANs.
