Storage Management Initiative Specification With SOM v1. 1, Hewlett-Packard supports the storage standard called the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S). HP is a contributing member of the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), which is a technical organization chartered to build seamless multi-vendor storage management networks. The SMI-S specification standardizes the interface for SAN management, device control architectures, and associated interfaces. The SMI-S specification enables HP and other storage vendors to ultimately develop products to a single standard interface, eliminating the need for custom or manual integration of HP storage solutions into multivendor environments. SOM v1. 1 integrates a SMI-S provider for HP StorageWorks Command View EVA which enables software vendors to develop software to manage EVA arrays. SOM v1. 1 also provides a SMI-S client with Storage Area Manger that allows SMI-S compliant hardware to function with Storage Area Manager.
