Providers available with HP WBEM Services
Following are the default providers available with HP WBEM Services:
Operating System Provider
The Operating System Provider gives operating system information, such as OS type, version, last
boot up time, local date and time, number of users, swap space size, and free physical memory.
This provider is used by clients to determine the basic understanding of the identity of the managed
system on which it is running.
This provider uses the CIM_OperatingSystem class and the PG_OperatingSystem subclass.
• SystemUpTime is a convenience property. It provides direct access to this value, versus
having client/providers calculate the value from LastBootUpTime and the LocalDateTime.
• OperatingSystemCapability indicates whether the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit capable.
