The Network Time Protocol Provider makes available server
information used by the network time protocol service. This provider
makes use of the PG_NTPService subclass of the CIM_Service class
by adding the ServerAddress property.
— ServerAddress specifies the name(s) or IP address(es) in dot
notation format of the server(s) that provide(s) time to clients
when requested.
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). The current implementation is for HP-UX
only.
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 to describe a network time protocol (NTP) service.
• NIS Provider (HP-UX Only)
The Network Information Service provider makes available NIS
information. The Network Information Service provider instruments
the PG_NISServerService subclass of the CIM_Service class by
adding the properties ServerType and ServerWaitFlag.
— ServerType specifies whether the instance is a master or slave
server.
— ServerWaitFlag specifies the NIS server wait state (wait/no
wait).
This provider is for use by clients as part of a basic understanding of

(NIS).
