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 TCP port 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.
