HP WBEM solutions for HP-UX include:
|
| HP WBEM services for HP-UX |
| HP WBEM Services for HP-UX provide an industry-standard enterprise management framework and resource description. WBEM's structured framework is capable of being extended and uses internet standards. For developers of management applications, this means you can take advantage of work that has previously been done to expose resource information and operations through WBEM. |
Features
- DMTF (Distributed Management Task Force) compliant implementation of the WBEM standard enables the development of highly integrated management solutions that monitor and control a diverse set of resources across multiple platforms.
- Seven packaged provider modules enable access, both local and remote, to key information about your HP-UX system using an industry standard protocol.
- SSL(Secure Sockets Layer) encrypted communication is architected to support secure communication between the CIM Client and the CIM Server.
- PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) authentication simplifies user and password administration.
- Local authentication eliminates the need to specify a password to manage local system resources as a logged-in system user

| HP WBEM providers for HP-UX |
| Providers are the management instrumentation that provide data such as device type and memory configuration as well as performing actions on a specified device. There are seven providers packaged with HP WBEM Services for HP-UX as described in the features section below. Additional providers are included with the HP-UX OS and associated products. |
| HP-UX Computer System CIM Provider – the computer system provider makes available basic computer system information such as computer name, status, and administrator contact information. |
| HP-UX Operating System CIM Provider – the operating system provider makes available operating system information such as operating system type, version, last boot up time, local date and time, number of users, swap space size, and free physical memory. |
| HP-UX Process and Processes Statistics CIM Provider - the process and processes statistics providers make available basic UNIX process information such as name of the executable image, process ID, priority, execution state, and various process resource utilization statistics. |
HP-UX Internet Protocol CIM Provider - the Internet Protocol (IP) Provider makes available information on what IP addresses can be used to access a platform. The provider also supports an association to a LAN Endpoint, making correlation between IP addresses and LAN interfaces possible. Further, the provider instruments a list of IP routes supported by the platform.
|
HP-UX Domain Name System CIM Provider - the domain name system (DNS) provider makes available domain name information. This provider instruments the PG_DNSService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding the properties SearchList (specifies the search list for hostname lookup) and Addresses. This provider extends the CIM_Service class that describes a Domain Name System. Currently, the provider does not support all the properties of the CIM_Service class or its superclasses.
|
| HP-UX Network Time Protocol CIM Provider - the network time protocol (NTP) provider makes available server information used by the network time protocol service. This provider instruments the PG_NTPService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding the ServerAddress property. This provider extends the CIM_Service class to describe a network time protocol service. Currently, the provider does not support all the properties of the CIM_Service class or its superclasses. |
| HP-UX Network Information Service CIM Provider - the network information service (NIS) provider makes available NIS information. This provider instruments the PG_NISServerService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding the properties ServerType (specifies whether the instance is a master or slave server) and ServerWaitFlag (specifies the NIS server wait state). This provider extends the CIM_Service class that describes a Network Information Service. Currently, the provider does not support all the properties of the CIM_Service class or its superclasses. |
Note: On HP-UX 11.0 and 11i version 1.0 systems, the DNS, NTP and NIS providers are not automatically registered. For registration instructions, refer to the release notes for HP WBEM Services for HP-UX found on the information library web page.
|
CPU Instance Provider – the CPU CIM Instance fetches CPU-related information from HP PA-RISC Servers, running HPUX. The CPU Instance Provider allows any client program, compliant with the CIM 2.7.2 Schema, to query for information about the managed system’s processors. The CPU Instance Provider implements the Processor-related CIM classes, proposed in the DMTF CIM 2.7.2 revision. In addition to the properties that belong to the standard CIM classes, the CPU Instance Provider serves information that is specific to HP Servers, by implementing HP-specific CIM classes, derived from the standard DMTF classes.
|
EMSWrapper Provider - the EMSWrapper Provider enables WBEM clients to subscribe for, and indication consumers to receive indications, which wrap events that are generated by EMS monitors. When any EMS event is generated, the EMS Wrapper provider constructs an indication class from the data received in the EMS event and delivers it as an indication through the HP-UX WBEM services.
|
HP-UX Memory Instance Provider – the Memory Instance Provider provides information about system physical memory configuration. This provider provides information about Physical Memory Module (DIMM/SIMM) and Memory Module Slots. This provider instruments CIM and HP defined MOF classes, which are CIM 2.7.2 compliant. All the HP specific MOF classes are registered in root/cimv2 name space. This provider instruments the following MOF classes: HP_PhysicalMemory, HP_MemoryLocation, HP_MemoryInLocation (Association)
|
| HP WBEM Clients are WBEM enabled management applications that provide the user interface and functionality system administrators need to manage their environment. |
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for HP's unified infrastructure management strategy. HP SIM uses WBEM to provide hardware level management for HP ProLiant, Integrity, and HP 9000 servers; HP BladeSystems; and HP StorageWorks MSA, EVA, and XP storage arrays. HP SIM also provides management of non-HP gear through industry standards.
|
| HP System Management Homepage (SMH) for HP-UX is a single-system Web-based management portal that combines Web-based system management tools and HP-UX System Adminstration Manager (SAM) X-Windows-based system management tools. SMH is used to manage accounts for users and groups; perform auditing and security functions; tune kernel parameters for enhanced system performance; handle disk, file system, and peripheral device management; view and administer WBEM indications; and monitor system and hardware status. SMH represents the next generation GUI for SAM. |
| HP WBEM services for HP-UX SDK |
| The HP WBEM Services for HP-UX SDK allows developers to develop WBEM clients and providers. |
