Upgrading SMI-S providers for storage systems

Before you upgrade an SMI-S provider (also called the CIM agent or CIMOM agent), ensure that IBM Spectrum® Control supports the SMI-S provider that you want and that the provider is compatible with the firmware versions of your storage systems.

To ensure that an SMI-S provider is supported, review the supported products list for the current release of IBM Spectrum Control. For more information about the products that are supported by IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.0 or later, see https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/388393. Under Storage, click the link for the appropriate release. If you are uncertain about the SMI-S provider support, contact IBM® customer support to help you with your upgrade plans.
