HWNPM0286I Performance monitoring is unavailable for resource resource name because the associated SMI-S provider does not have the required SMI-S support.

Explanation

An SMI-S provider has been defined in IBM Spectrum Control to manage the device, but unfortunately that agent does not have the necessary SMI-S support to allow retrieval of performance statistics for the device. For FC switches, the SMI-S provider needs to support the SMI-S "Switch" profile, and must support the SMI-S level 1.0.2 at minimum. For storage subsystems, the SMI-S provider needs to support the "Array" profile and the "Block Server Performance" (BSP) sub-profile.

Action

Install an SMI-S provider with the necessary SMI-S support, and configure it to manage the device in question. Define the agent to IBM Spectrum Control using the IBM Spectrum Control GUI Administrative Services, Data Sources. Note that some vendors require purchase of a separate feature to enable this support.
