12 Service Discovery and CIM IndicationsDiscovering the CIM ServerWhen you discover the CIM server that is embedded within your library, you not only determine its locationwithin your SAN, but you also determine which services it supports (as defined by the server’s profiles).Discovering CIM servers provides information about the physical and logical entities within your SAN. Thisinformation changes dynamically as SAN entities are added, moved, or removed. This discovery processalso helps you discover object classes and related association classes, as well as return status codes thatare provided by servers in the managed environment.You can discover the CIM server in your library by using the following:• IP address and hostname of the library• SLPSLP supports the WBEM SLP template, v1.0.0. You can use the following profiles and subprofilesfor discovery and performance monitoring:• Storage Library Profile (Storage Library Profile, Version 1.2)• Library Capacity Subprofile• Software Subprofile• Location Subprofile• Access Points Subprofile• Limited Access Port Subprofile• Physical Package Subprofile• Fibre Channel Target Port Subprofile• Element Counting Subprofile• Various methods defined by CIMUse the following methods, which are intrinsic methods defined by CIM, to retrieve informationabout your library.The location of the CIM server, which is identified by the library’s IP address, is the target of thesemethods.
