SNIA Swordfish®

The SNIA Swordfish® specification helps to provide a unified approach for the management of storage and servers in hyperscale and cloud infrastructure environments, making it easier for IT administrators to integrate scalable solutions into their data centers. SNIA Swordfish is an extension of the DMTF Redfish specification, so the same easy-to-use RESTful interface is used, along with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and Open Data Protocol (OData), to seamlessly manage storage equipment and storage services in addition to servers.

Swordfish

SNIA Swordfish is designed to integrate with the technologies used in cloud data center environments and can be used to accomplish a broad range of storage management tasks from the simple to the advanced.

SNIA Swordfish has been designed around management use cases that focus on what IT administrators need to do with storage equipment and storage services in a data center. As a result, the API provides functionality that simplifies the way storage can be allocated, monitored, and managed.

Swordfish Metrics White Paper This paper defines the approach, infrastructure and mechanisms to use for Swordfish implementations, to capture and store historical metrics to present to Swordfish clients in a standardized fashion, using the Redfish telemetry service. The examples provided focus on capacity and performance instrumentation, but additional standardized definitions may be provided separately.
Swordfish and NVMe-oF Whitepaper This paper provides a deep dive into the NVMe oF configurations, and more specifically, how these are represented in both the Swordfish client model and API. It will also focus on the concepts of logical devices, called exported resources, and how these are represented, allocated and managed, as these are represented differently for NVMe oF devices than for other types of storage devices modeled in Swordfish.

The examples provided focus on capacity and performance instrumentation, but additional standardized definitions may be provided separately.
Swordfish and NVMe-oF Whitepaper This paper provides a deep dive into the NVMe oF configurations, and more specifically, how these are represented in both the Swordfish client model and API. It will also focus on the concepts of logical devices, called exported resources, and how these are represented, allocated and managed, as these are represented differently for NVMe oF devices than for other types of storage devices modeled in Swordfish.

Open Source Tools

SNIA’s Storage Management Initiative sponsored the initial development of open source software tools that can help developers start working with Swordfish. These tools are already available in open repositories that are managed by the SNIA SSM TWG on GitHub.

Brief descriptions of these open source software tools are given below. Installation instructions are provided within each tool’s repository, along with basic documentation for users and developers.

Development Tool	Description
Swordfish API Emulator	The Swordfish API Emulator can emulate a Swordfish-based system that responds to create, read, update, and delete RESTful API operations to allow developers to model new Swordfish functionality, test clients, demonstrate Swordfish, and do other similar functions. The Swordfish API Emulator extends the DMTF Redfish Interface Emulator, adding code that supports dynamic interactions with all of the Swordfish schema. The Swordfish API Emulator code is maintained on GitHub by the SNIA, and the Redfish Interface Emulator code is maintained on GitHub by the DMTF.
Swordfish Basic Web Client	The Swordfish Basic Web Client can connect to one or more Swordfish services (including the Swordfish API Emulator), and present in a web UI frame the entire Redfish and Swordfish hierarchy. The Swordfish Basic Web Client provides basic capabilities for managing multiple services simultaneously, modifying configurable Properties and adding or removing elements from the service through the web UI.
Swordfish Datadog Sample Dashboard Integration	The Swordfish Datadog sample dashboard integration provides a dashboard for the Datadog monitoring service that can connect to a Swordfish service (including the Swordfish emulator), and provides an integration to the Datadog UI. It provides connectivity to a Swordfish service and displays system capacity information trending over time, configured capacity thresholds, and alert information based on crossing those thresholds.
Swordfish PowerBI Sample Dashboard Integration	The Swordfish Power BI sample dashboard integration provides a dashboard for the Power BI data center monitoring system that can connect to a Swordfish service (including the Swordfish emulator), and provides an integration to the Power BI UI. It provides connectivity to a Swordfish service and displays system capacity information and configured capacity thresholds.
Swordfish Powershell Toolkit	The PowerShell Toolkit for Swordfish provides a basic framework for querying resources from the SNIA API Emulator. The SNIASwordFish PowerShell Module can be used with Microsoft Windows, Windows Server, macOS or Linux. Below is an example of a connected SwordFish target being used with macOS and PowerShell for Linux (v6.1).
Gofish	Gofish is a Golang client library for DMTF Redfish and SNIA Swordfish interaction. For an overview of the Golang client, watch this video Golang Support for SNIA Swordfish™ from SDC 2019.
