normal practice used for creating non-DMTF defined subclasses
(simply changing the superclass’s prefix from “CIM_” to some
organization-specific string).
• Process Provider
The Process Provider makes available basic UNIX process
information such as name of the executable image, process ID,
priority, execution state, and various process resource utilization
statistics.
Client applications can use this provider to give clients an
understanding of the processes running on the Managed System
within the context of its operating system.
In addition to implementing the properties of CIM_Process, these
providers implement the properties of CIM_UnixProcess and
CIM_UnixProcessStatisticalInformation from in CIM v2.6 as
PG_UnixProcess and PG_UnixProcessStatisticalInformation.
• DNS Provider (HP-UX Only)
The Domain Name System provider makes available domain name
information. The Domain Name System provider makes use of the
PG_DNSService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding the
properties SearchList and Addresses.
— SearchList specifies the search list for hostname lookup.
— Addresses specifies the name(s) or IP address(es) in dot notation
format of the name server(s) that the resolver should query.
This provider is for use by clients as part of a basic understanding of
the identity of the managed system on which it is running (typically
a server or appliance).
NOTE Currently, the provider does not support all the properties of the
CIM_Service class or its superclasses. This provider extends the
CIM_Service class that describes a Domain Name System (DNS).
• NTP Provider (HP-UX Only)
