HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 Technical Reference Guide

The WMI Mapper makes it possible to retrieve WMI instrumented data on a Windows machine through
WBEM requests. The Windows version of HP SIM installs this WMI Mapper locally so that it can make
WMI requests across the network to the systems without the need to install the WMI Mapper on the
managed Windows systems.
The WMI Mapper is included in a Typical installation of the HP SIM on a Windows CMS (optional in
a Custom installation) . For HP-UX and Linux-based systems, the WMI Mapper is not available.
