Track - Storage Management
SMI File System Profiles
Kamesh Aiyer, EMC
The file system subprofiles have been written to support a number of different autonomous profiles that support a variety of file system products. The autonomous profiles currently supported are NAS Head and Self-Contained NAS, with Hosted File System and Cluster File System profiles on the horizon. This talk will lay out the common processes by which storage is made available as file systems and file shares; the organization of component profiles; how these are put together to make the autonomous profiles; and some futures. The component profiles to be covered (as time permits) will include File System, File Export, File System Manipulation, File Export Manipulation, and File System Quotas from SMI-S 1.2, and the proposed Volume on Files profile and the File System Replication profiles from SMI-S 1.3.

Client oriented overview of SMI-S 1.1 - 1.3
Mike Walker, IBM
SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative - Specification) is an application of the CIM models and protocols for Storage Management. SMI-S 1.0.3 is the existing Standard (ANSI & ISO). SMI-S 1.1.0 is the version of the standard that was submitted to INCITS for ANSI standardization this summer. SMI-S 1.2.0 is currently in review for submission for standardization and SMI-S 1.3.0 is currently under development for standardization in 2007. This presentation will overview the new material in SMI-S 1.1.0, SMI-S 1.2.0 and SMI-S 1.3.0. The presentation will highlight the nature of the content and highlight DMTF materials referenced.
The SMI-S Client: A Birds Eye View
Kurt Krems, Tek-Tools, Inc.
Learn about implementing SMI-S clients from a developer who has worked in the trenches of SMI-S development through numerous SMI-labs and plug-fests. Learn the details of full client and provider implementations, from requirements to client and provider installation. Walk away from this talk with the knowledge to implement your own product with the techniques to make you successful.
Management Frameworks
Mark Carlson, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Data Services in the Sun StorageTek 6920
Mark Vetter, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The speaker will share design and implementation experiences for data services in the Sun StorageTek 6920 storage system. This will include discussion of extensions to the SMI-S model.
Development considerations for Provider deployment
Steven Peters, Hewlett Packard
This presentation will cover installation issues for simple systems, including necessary SLP configuration support and CIMOM configuration. We will then move to more complicated systems where multiple CIMOMs must coexist on a single system and what developers and installation procedures must allow. Last, we will talk about providers from different companies sharing a single Pegasus CIMOM.
