Announcement
Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) is an industry wide initiative to unify the management
of system, networks, and applications across multiple and diverse vendor environments. The WBEM
clients use the mass storage providers to gather information about various subsystems. The WBEM
standard enables the WBEM clients to subscribe to indications, and indication consumers to receive
indications on the occurrence of events of interest on the managed system.
HP-UX WBEM vPartition Provider
HP-UX WBEM vPartition provider is used by WBEM client applications to retrieve information about
virtual partitions of a system. The vPartition™ provider communicates with the nPartition™ provider
to get information of I/O assigned to virtual partitions (vPartition) and to determine whether or not
the vPartition is running on an nPartition. If the nPartition™ provider is down, then the vPartition™
provider will not provide this information.
