CIM clients use SLP to query for available CIM servers. CIM servers answer with generic information
about what services they provide and the URL at which these services reside.
Server Profile
A CIM Server is anything that supports the CIM-XML protocol and supports the basic read functional
profile as defined by the CIM Operations over HTTP specification. After a CIM client has discovered
a CIM server within a SAN, it then needs to determine the services provided by that server. The
Server Profile defines the capabilities of the CIM Server. This includes the communication mechanisms
the CIM Server supports, the CIM namespaces that it manages, and the SMI-S profiles and
subprofiles that are supported.
For a complete discussion on the Server Profile model, please refer to SMI-S at http://www.snla.org.
Server Profile CIM Classes

DescriptionCIM Class
Defines the communication protocols supported by the CIM
server.
TPD_CIMXMLCommunicationMechanism
Defines the CIM namespaces supported by the CIM Server.TPD_Namespace
The CIM Object Manager service of the CIM Server.TPD_ObjectManager
One instance of this class exists for each SMI-S Profile that
is registered with the CIM Server.
TPD_RegisteredProfile
One instance of this class exists for each SMI-S Subprofile
that is registered with the CIM Server.

Profile Registration Profile
Profile Registration Profile is mandatory for Server Profile. This profile models the profiles registered
in the object manager and the associations between registration classes and the domain classes
implementing the profile.
