Introduction
The Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI) software enables remote management application programs to access information about the client system, monitor the status of the client system, or change the
state of the system, such as shutting it down remotely. OMCI exposes, through standard interfaces, key system parameters that allow administrators to manage, inventory, monitor the system health of, and gather
information on deployed Dell client systems.
Note: All classes or properties listed in the reference guide may not be supported on all Dell systems.
OMCI Namespaces
The following Namespaces are available in OMCI:
Legacy Namespace (Compatibility Mode) - This is the namespace that was used in the OMCI 7.x version. It is Dell proprietary and based on CIM schema 2.6. This namespace is available with limited
functionality and is read-only for allowing for transitioning of customers over to the new namespace.
Standard Namespace (New Namespace) - This namespace is standards-based with implementation of multiple profiles as defined by the DMTF. The CIM schema for this namespace is 2.17 and provides all
functionality of OMCI.
Profiles
OMCI uses industry standard profiles to represent the management data provided. These profiles are implemented either as defined or in some cases have Dell-specific extensions.
The following is a list of profiles that are implemented in this version of OMCI:
Non-extended profiles:
Base Metrics
Battery
BIOS Management
Boot Control
CPU
Fan
Indications
IP Interface
OS Status
PCI Device
Physical Asset
Power State Management
Profile Registration
RecordLog
Sensors
Software Inventory
Device Tray
Software Update
Base Desktop and Mobile
Extended profiles:
