How is DCML different from DMTFs Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH)? Can DCML work with SMASH?
SMASH is similar to the development of SMI-S for storage – domain-based management (in this case, server domain) – and is complementary to DCML. DCML can leverage SMASH in rolling up server management and its associated information into operational, cross-domain intelligence for service-oriented IT management, visibility, and business-facing intelligence. DCML can maximize the benefits of SMASH in the server extension specifications of DCML.
