Table 1-8 provides details on DCNM Connect support.

Connect is an interface within DCNM WebUI that can be used to create and assign storage space to theHost Enclosures using SMI-S management service. This section lists the SMI-S compliant storage systemsand associated software components that were tested with DCNM Connect by Cisco Solution-Interoperability Engineering Team (iLAB).

Note Table 1-8 applies only to Connect feature, which requires SMI-S Provider either built into the storagearrays or as a separate management software. DCNM-SAN, by default, has the ability to automaticallydiscover all devices including host bus adapters (HBAs) and storage arrays on one or more fabricsusing information polled from Cisco MDS and Nexus switches.
