Identification, inventory, and eventsA DMTF standard for exchanging
management information using web
services. You can use
WS-Management to transport CIM as
an alternative to CIM-XML.
WS-Management
Identification, inventory, and eventsWMI is Microsoft's implementation of
WBEM. WMI runs over Distributed
Component Object Model (DCOM),
which in turn, uses RPC. For Windows
systems behind a firewall, HP
recommends installing the WMI
Mapper on a managed system in the
secure network. This mapper allows
standard CIM-XML requests through
the firewall, and they are mapped to
WMI requests on the managed system.
