Since you posted the question on vRealize Orchestrator forum, I think your needs is to orchestrate/automate storage tasks... anyway, now that you told me that you want monitoring the performance of your SVC, the VMware product that allow you monitor the performance/health of the storage devices is the vRealize Operations Manager along side with Management Pack for storage devices, BUT unfortunately the SVC is not supported by the management pack provided by IBM, take a look here: https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/STWMS9_2.2.1/RN/isis_rn_supported_storage.html

Only XIV and Spectrum Accelerate is supported at moment... anyway I will recommend you use the IBM Spectrum Control (formerly IBM Tivoli Storage Productivity Center).

Are you talking about vRealize Automation / vRealize Ochestrator integration ? If yes, seems like that only XIV is supported, see: IBM Storage at your service courtesy of IBM Spectrum Control and VMware vRealize Automation - Storag...

Thank you for your reply.  I saw that article and the IBM whitepaper and wasn't sure if I was missing something.  Don't really need it to be compatible for automation but more for monitoring.  So I'm not sure if that could be accomplished with vRealize Operations Manager or if you needed the suite.  Then whether or not vRealize could interface with the SVC to pull performance data for root cause analysis situations.
