IBM DS6000/8000 Disk Arrays

Description

This connector discovers the enclosure and the disks of IBM SAN disk arrays, as well as the storage pools and storage volumes. It also discovers and monitors the FC ports, physical and logical disks of the array. It relies on the WBEM technology and supports SMI-S compliant disk arrays only.
