Opis

A Practical Approach to WBEM/CIM Management describes WBEM/CIM architecture and explores the models developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). It examines the interfaces with which WBEM/CIM code will have to work, and offers examples of applicable models and related code. It introduces components of WBEM architecture, defines models within CIM, and illustrates communication between the WBEM client and server. It also investigates transitioning from SNMP or proprietary systems to the WBEM/CIM approach. The author avoids focusing on details that are bound to change quickly, instead he provides coding examples in openPegasus, which exemplifies many other similar C++ implementations.
