 Set up SMI-S

You can install SMI-S on a non-OpenStack host. Supported platforms include different flavors of Windows, Red Hat, and SUSE Linux. The host can be either a physical server or VM hosted by an ESX server. See the EMC SMI-S Provider release notes for supported platforms and installation instructions.

[Note]Note

You must discover storage arrays on the SMI-S server before you can use the Cinder driver. Follow instructions in the SMI-S release notes.

SMI-S is usually installed at /opt/emc/ECIM/ECOM/bin on Linux and C:\Program Files\EMC\ECIM\ECOM\bin on Windows. After you install and configure SMI-S, go to that directory and type TestSmiProvider.exe.

Use addsys in TestSmiProvider.exe to add an array. Use dv and examine the output after the array is added. Make sure that the arrays are recognized by the SMI-S server before using the EMC Cinder driver.
