CIM agent classes, methods, and SMI-S profiles supported

The CIM agent classes are the building blocks of the Common Information Model (CIM) agent and use functions such as storage configuration, Copy Services, and logical unit number (LUN) masking. The Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) is based on a number of existing technologies that include the CIM.

The CIM agent with Azure Site Recovery protects applications through replication coordination services and physical (or virtual) machine recovery. You can replicate data from your data center to a hosting service provider. (This way you do not have to build and manage a secondary location.) The CIM Agent and Azure Site Recovery uses replication features through SMI-S to leverage site protection. This means that it invokes SMI-S APIs within the service profile.

This integration provides:

Protection
Failover
Reverse protection
Test failover

The CIM Agent and Azure Site Recovery can also replicate data to or from (or between) virtual machines. This includes replicating data from on-premises Hyper-V host servers located in a VMM cloud to a secondary VMM server in a remote data center.

Table 1 identifies the SMI-S profiles that CIM agent for Lenovo Storage V series supports.

SNIA:Storage Virtualizer Storage virtualizers act in a manner similar to RAID arrays but can use storage that is provided by systems that are external to the storage virtualizer and local disks. A storage virtualizer system combines both remote and local storage to create a seamless pool. The virtualization system allocates volumes from the pool for host systems to use. The basic virtualizer system profile provides a read-only view of the system. The various subprofiles extend this description and also enable configuration.	SNIA:Storage Virtualizer:Access Points
