I've attempted to query the cimserver with some 3rd party tools, but never could get it to work, I always ran in to failed authentication issues.
Many of the storage monitoring vendors seem to lag behind with regards to XIV/Compellent/3par, I think the wide striping of raid arrays blows their mind.
NetApp SANScreen does a pretty good job of pulling configuration data out of the 3par and displaying it properly in relation to host LUNs and ESX datastores/Guest luns, however it doesn't do 3PAR performance yet.
