HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide (5900-1624, April 2011)

Client applications can use this provider to determine all the IP addresses for a platform, determine
which LAN interface is associated with a given IP address, and to determine which IP routes are
supported by the platform. For platforms that have the LAN provider installed, you can relate a
given IP address to its LAN interface, MAC address, logical port, and network interface card (NIC).
NOTE: The current implementation is for HP-UX only.
This provider uses the following classes:
• CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint
• PG_BindsIPToLANEndpoint
• PG_IPRoute
Domain Name System Provider
The Domain Name System (DNS) Provider makes available the domain name information. This
provider uses the PG_DNSService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding properties,
such as SearchList and Addresses:
• SearchList specifies the search list for hostname lookup.
• Addresses specifies the names or IP addresses, in dot notation format, of the name servers
that the resolver must query.
NOTE: Currently, this provider does not support all properties of the CIM_Service class or its
superclasses. This provider extends the CIM_Service class that describes a stem DNS.
Network Time Protocol Provider
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Provider makes available server information used by the network
time protocol service. The current implementation is for HP-UX only.
This provider uses the PG_NTPService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding the
ServerAddress property.
The ServerAddress property specifies the names or IP addresses, in dot notation format, of the
servers that provide time to clients when requested.
NOTE: Currently, the provider does not support all the properties of the CIM_Service class or
its superclasses. This provider extends the CIM_Service class to describe a NTP service.
Network Information Service Provider
The Network Information Service (NIS) provider makes available NIS information. The current
implementation is for HP-UX only.
The Network Information Service provider instruments the PG_NISServerService subclass of
the CIM_Service class by adding the properties ServerType and ServerWaitFlag:
• The ServerType property specifies if the instance is a master or slave server.
• The ServerWaitFlag property specifies the NIS server wait state (wait/no wait).
NOTE: Currently, the provider does not support all properties of the CIM_Service class or its
superclasses. This provider extends the CIM_Service class that describes a NIS.
Software Distributor Provider
The Software Distributor (SD) Provider makes available information about software objects managed
by the Installed Products Database (IPD).
