Introduction 7 Introduction The Dell™ OpenManage™ Client Instru mentation (OMCI) software enables remote management application programs to access client system information, monitor the client system status, or chang e the state of the cl ient system; such as shutting it down remotely . Through standard interfaces, OMCI exposes k ey system para[...]

8 Introduction • The CIM data model abstracts and de scribes all elements in a network environment. The CIM schema provides the actual data model descriptions and arranges the network into a series of managed objects, all interrelated and broadly classified. • The CIM schema is defined by the Managed Object F ormat (MOF) file, which provides a [...]

Introduction 9 OMCI uses a variety of data sources resident on the client system which includes: • Microsoft W in32 WMI providers •S M B I O S • Device drivers • Operating system registry • Operating system Application P rogramming Interfaces (APIs) • WMI repository OMCI Architecture The OMCI architecture is based on a layer ed model th[...]

10 Introduction F or example, a management console in the WMI application layer r equests the available free space on the client sy stem hard drive. The WMI application layer makes the r equest over the netwo rk to the CIMOM (in the Dell WMI provider layer) on the client system. The CIMOM routes the request to the appropriate WMI provider , which, [...]

Introduction 11 Features The following are k ey features of OMCI: • CIM 2.6 Schema Support • Dell LegacySelect 2.0 Support • Remote Boot Device Select • WMI Security • Event Reporting • Remote Shutdown • Remote W ake-Up Configurability • WfM V ersion 2.0 Compliance CIM 2.6 Schema Support CIM is a standard that describes management d[...]

12 Introduction A network administrator can change the settings of these components either through the computer's system setup or by using a WMI management application.
