IBM DS8000, DS6000 manual Installing CIM Agent for Windows

Installing CIM Agent for Windows

The CIM Agent for DS Open (API) is a middleware application that provides a CIM-compliant interface for applications that require it, or can make use of it. Elsewhere you may see this (and other interfaces into the DS Open framework) referred to generically as the DS Open API. The agent code provides a CIM API into the IBM System Storage DS8000 & DS6000.

This section includes an overview of the installation process and instructions for installing and configuring the CIM agent on a Windows 2000 or later operating system. It should be noted that although this solution places the CIM agent on a separate Windows 2003 server, that is not a requirement. The CIM agent can be installed on any server (including the Exchange or Backup Exec servers), as well as on Linux® & AIX® hosts.
