CIM/OM Logins

Use this window to manage login information for Common Information Model Object Managers (CIM/OMs) discovered by the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Server. You can also enter CIM/OM information manually. Tivoli Storage Resource Manager uses this login information to access CIM/OMs and gather information required for the following functions:

This window displays the CIM/OMs discovered by the Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Server.

Resources accessed using a CIM/OM will be displayed in the Storage Subsystem Administration window after they have been discovered. You can then select the resources you want to monitor.

See the Configuration section of the IBM Tivoli Storage Resource Manager Configuration and Getting Started Guide for more information about CIM/OM access and resource discovery.

Note: Deleting a CIM/OM entry will result in the loss of all statistics collected on the storage subsystems managed by the CIM/OM.

Note: A variety of reports are provided for ESS subsystems and IBM SAN Volume Controllers. Some of these reports will contain inaccurate information if the following configuration is used:

In this situation, Disks and LUNs will appear to belong to both the IBM SAN Volume Controller and the ESS subsystem, and will be counted twice in system-wide reports. To avoid this situation, CIM/OM access should be set up for only one of these resources. This limitation does not affect ESS LUN provisioning.
