Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Version 8.3 CIM Reference Guide

This reference guide documents the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Common Information Model (CIM) provider contained in the Management Object File (MOF) dccim32.mof.

CIM provides a conceptual model for describing manageable objects in a systems management environment. CIM is a modeling tool rather than a programming language. CIM provides the structure for organizing objects into a model of a managed environment. For modeling a managed environment, CIM makes available a set of abstract and concrete classes of objects. These classes model the basic characteristics of systems, networks, and applications, as well as groupings of management-related data.
