Installing And Uninstalling The SMI-S Provider
System Requirements For SMI-S Provider
The following are the system requirements to install and run the SMI-S Provider.
System Component Requirement
Memory 1 GB minimum (2 GB recommended).
Connectivity Ethernet with 100BASE-T minimum (Gigabit Ethernet preferred) and TCP/IP.
Port TCP port 5988 or 5989, or any other available port if these ports are not available.
Storage array
password The device credentials profile requires the storage array password (SharedSecret) to modify
operations. The SMI-S Provider persistently tracks an instance of the SharedSecret per
storage array.
Scalability There is no limit on the number of storage systems that can be supported by a single provider
instance. The recommended maximum is 10 for moderately to fully configured storage systems
per provider, or a total of around 5000 volumes. In large configurations, deploy additional
providers on different servers in your storage network to manage additional storage systems.
