WBEM

Web-Based Enterprise Management. A collection of management and Internet standard

 

technologies that aid and unify management of large-scale distributed computing environments.

 

WBEM provides the ability for the industry to deliver a well-integrated set of standard-based

 

management tools, facilitating the exchange of data across otherwise disparate technologies

 

and platforms.

WBEM Providers

Available on OpenVMS I64 systems, a product that enables (along with WBEM Services for

for OpenVMS

OpenVMS) HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) management of the operating system. HP

 

SIM uses WBEM providers to perform such functions as identifying the operating system on

 

the managed system, associating the virtual or physical instances to their respective containers,

 

providing inventory and reports on hardware and software configurations, and monitoring

 

the system remotely for hardware faults.

WBEM Services

A product available on OpenVMS I64 systems that provides an industry-standard enterprise

for OpenVMS

management framework and resource description. WBEM’s structured framework is capable

 

of being extended and uses management and Internet standards. Developers of management

 

applications can take advantage of previously done work that exposes resource information

 

and operations; for example, developers can take code that was developed for a specific platform

 

or application and use it with WBEM for the same purposes—WBEM is platform-neutral,

 

enabling reuse of infrastructure, tools, and applications. WBEMCIM is the WBEM Services for

 

OpenVMS file name used in the PCSI kit. CIM stands for the Common Information Model,

 

which differentiates the current OpenVMS WBEM product from the original one that is based

 

on the Simple Network Maintenance Protocol (SNMP).
