　An SMI-S-based simulation tool for facilitating the testing of management applications for heterogeneous storage devices.

What is IBM SMI-S-Based Storage Device Simulator?
　"IBM SMI-S-Based Storage Device Simulator is a simulation tool compliant with the SMI-S
　(Storage Management Initiative Specification) for managing storage devices as a CIM.
　This tool allows one to simulate storage devices from a console, enabling testing of storage device
　management architecture. This testing saves considerable time and expense and eliminates
　the cost of purchasing actual storage devices."

The SMI-S-based simulation tool has the following features:
　Interoperability
　Transparency
　Intuitiveness
　Flexibility
　Flexibility

"The package also includes a CIMOM server and an initialization tool for virtual storage devices.
　The simulator runs on Java™- and DLL-compatible systems; it has been tested on Windows®."
