WS-Management Support
Web Services for Management (WS-MAN) is a Simple Object Access
Protocol (SOAP)-based protocol used for systems management. WS-MAN
provides a interoperable protocol for devices to share and exchange data
across networks. CMC uses WS-MAN to convey Distributed Management
Task Fo rce ( DMTF ) Comm on In formation Model (CIM)-based
management information. CIM information defines the semantics
and information types that can be manipulated in a managed system.
The Dell-embedded server platform management interfaces are organized
into profiles, where each profile defines the specific interfaces for a particular
management domain or area of functionality. Additionally, Dell has defined a
number of model and profile extensions that provide interfaces for
additional capabilities.
