Storage Essentials 5.1 Installation Guide 3
8 Install a CIM Extension on each host
(other than the management server)
from which you want the management
server to be able to obtain information.
The CIM Extension gathers information
from the operating system and host bus
adapters on the host. It then makes the
information available to the
management server.
It is possible to install, upgrade, and
manage CIM Extensions remotely
across any number of hosts. See
”Deploying and Managing CIM
Extensions” on page 149.
Important:
• CIM Extensions are required on
UNIX hosts.
