<h1 class="topictitle1">Common Information Model</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The Common Information Model (CIM) is a standard developed
|
||
|
|
by a consortium of major hardware and software vendors (including IBM<sup>®</sup>) called the
|
||
|
|
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) as part of the Web Based Enterprise
|
||
|
|
Management (WBEM) initiative.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>WBEM includes a set of standards and technologies that provide management
|
||
|
|
solutions for a distributed network environment. Interoperability is a major
|
||
|
|
focus of WBEM, and using WBEM technologies can help you develop a single set
|
||
|
|
of management applications for a diverse set of resources.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>CIM is a major component of the WBEM initiative, providing a model for
|
||
|
|
describing and accessing data across an enterprise. CIM comprises both a specification
|
||
|
|
and a schema. The specification defines the details for integration with other
|
||
|
|
management models, whereas the schema provides the actual model descriptions.</p>

||

<p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />CIM on IBM <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> V5R4
|
||
|
|
includes:<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Instrumentation for server resources on the system called <dfn class="term">providers</dfn>.
|
||
|
|
The providers, which are based on a subset of the standardized CIM classes,
|
||
|
|
gather data on a system. CIM clients can work with this data by accessing
|
||
|
|
the providers through the Common Information Model Object Manager (CIMOM).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />An open source implementation of the CIMOM called <dfn class="term">Pegasus</dfn> (version
|
||
|
|
2.5) that manages communication between clients and providers. The CIMOM also
|
||
|
|
provides several management functions, including security, and a set of commands
|
||
|
|
that provide configuration and management functions to administrators.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A schema (CIM schema version 2.9) that defines an information
|
||
|
|
model for representing systems management functions.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
||
|
|
<li>An implementation of the standardized formats for communication between
|
||
|
|
clients and the CIMOM, called CIM in XML, V2.1 and CIM Operations over HTTP,
|
||
|
|
V1.1. For more information about these standards, see the WBEM Web site.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>For more information about the CIM standard, see the Introduction to CIM
|
||
|
|
and the CIM Specification 2.2 on the DMTF Web site.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each IBM operating
|
||
|
|
system supports Pegasus (version 2.5). Pegasus supports most of the CIM operations
|
||
|
|
defined in the CIM Operations over HTTP specification by the DMTF. For more
|
||
|
|
information about what is supported in <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span>,
|
||
|
|
see to the Developer's reference provided below.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Pegasus is an open-source CIM implementation supported by each IBM operating
|
||
|
|
system. For information about Pegasus support on other IBM operating systems, see CIM in the <span class="keyword">IBM Systems Software Information Center</span>. For information about
|
||
|
|
the open source Pegasus project, see the Pegasus Web site.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>With support for Pegasus on systems running <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> V5R3
|
||
|
|
or later, users have the ability to access iSeries™ server resources through an extendible,
|
||
|
|
industry-standard model. </p>
