On-board SMI-S to support vVNX. I think that the namespace you are using is incorrect. The right one would be /root/emc/smis. I just wrote a piece of python snippet code to show it work:  import pywbem  if __name__ == "__main__":    # vVNX   URL = ("%s://%s:%s" % ("https", "10.245.54.161", "5989"))   User = "local/admin"   Password = "********"   InteropNamespace = "interop"   ImplementNamespace = "root/emc/smis"   conn2Interop = pywbem.WBEMConnection(URL, (User, Password),   InteropNamespace)   conn2Namespace = pywbem.WBEMConnection(URL, (User, Password),   ImplementNamespace)    css = conn2Namespace.EnumerateInstances("EMC_VNXe_StorageSystemLeaf",    IncludeQualifiers=True,    IncludeClassOrigin=True)    for cs in css:    print cs.tomof()    chassis_list = conn2Namespace.EnumerateInstances(    "EMC_VNXe_ArrayChassisLeaf",    IncludeQualifiers=True,    IncludeClassOrigin=True)    for chassis in chassis_list:        print chassis.tomof()  Output:  instance of EMC_VNXe_StorageSystemLeaf {   RequestedState = 12;   Dedicated = {15, 24};   Name = "VIRT1610GJ7K50";   TransitioningToState = 12;   EnabledState = 5;   ElementName = "vu161";   HealthState = 5;   PrimaryStatus = 1;   OperationalStatus = {2};   StatusDescriptions = {"OK"};   NameFormat = "Other";   CreationClassName = "EMC_VNXe_StorageSystemLeaf";   IdentifyingDescriptions = {"Product Serial Number"};   OtherIdentifyingInfo = {"VIRT1610GJ7K50"}; };   instance of EMC_VNXe_ArrayChassisLeaf {   SerialNumber = "VIRT1610GJ7K50";   Tag = "VIRT1610GJ7K50";   RemovalConditions = 2;   PackageType = 3;   ChassisPackageType = 22;   CreationClassName = "EMC_VNXe_ArrayChassisLeaf";   Model = "UnityVSA";   Manufacturer = "EMC Corporation"; };   . 
Hi,  I have understood that vVNX comes with on board SMI-S. I can see open port on SPA management port: 5989/tcp open   wbem-https port  However I have a problem with authorization, although I provide correct username/password combination then it always fails. # wbemcli -noverify -nl ei [URL]     wbemcli: Http Exception: Invalid username/password.  Any idea what might be wrong? Tried several accounts,all user roles, with no luck.  I have even failed to connect the storage via solution enabler (SMI-S Provider version: V4.6.2.29). It apparently does not work with vVNX as it was mentioned in some other thread. my "addsys" cmd always fails with: ++++ EMCAddSystem ++++ Error: The requested object cannot be found. (com.emc.cmp.osls.se.osl.DiscoveryServices.StorInstanceDiscover():142 C:ERROR_CLASS_SOFTWARE F:ERROR_FAMILY_NOT_FOUND R:1000052 L:2 C:ERROR_CLASS_SOFTWARE F:ERROR_FAMILY_NOT_FOUND R:1000052 No objects of the requested type were found : "SymDiscover Failed" : 2 : 40 : "No devices were found")  Is there any chance to connect vVNX via SMI-S? I run vVNX version 3.1.7.6448513   Thanks, Pavel
