Lenovo Enterprise Network Operating System providges a programming interface
using the SMI‐S to ease interoperability in a multivendor SAN environment. In this
release, only limited support is provided. The G8264CS switch must be operating
in full fabric mode.
An embedded SMI‐S agent runs on the G8264CS and includes standard profiles as
specified in the SMI‐S. These profiles include:
 Fabric Profile
Indication Profile

 Server Profile
Switch Profile

You must the IBM Director (includes Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC)) to
configure and administer the fibre channel fabric, as configuring the switch, fabric,
or ports via the CLI is not supported. Zoning control can be implemented and
includes the following functions:
 Session control (start, commit, and rollback)
Zoning updates

 Create and destroy zone set, zone, and zone alias
Add/Remove zone to zone set, zone alias, or port WWN to zone and port WWN

to zone alias
 Activate and deactivate zoneset
Connection with the SMI‐S agent can be established via IPv4 or IPv6 management
interface using HTTP/HTTPS. Use the following link:
http://<Management IP address>:5988
(OR)
https://<Management IP address>:5989
The namespace for the SMI‐S agent is root/interop.
You will need to authenticate using the login and password configured for the
switch.
The current implementation of SMI‐S does not support the following:
 NPV mode
Switch port zoning

 Zone configuration on the switch that uses FC IDs instead of port WWNs.
Note: The CLI commands may be available, but the zone configuration will
not be applied.
