HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide

Operating System Provider
The Operating System Provider gives operating system information, such as OS type, version, last
boot up time, local date and time, number of users, swap space size, and free physical memory.
This provider is used by clients to determine the basic understanding of the identity of the managed
system on which it is running.
This provider uses the CIM_OperatingSystem class and the PG_OperatingSystem subclass.
• SystemUpTime is a convenience property. It provides direct access to this value, versus
having client/providers calculate the value from LastBootUpTime and the LocalDateTime.
• OperatingSystemCapability indicates whether the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit capable.
NOTE: This provider does not support the reboot and shutdown methods of the
CIM_OperatingSystem class. The PG_OperatingSystem subclass adds the SystemUpTime
and OperatingSystemCapability properties.
Computer System Provider
The Computer System Provider makes available basic computer system information, such as
computer name, status, and administrator contact information.
The Computer System provider uses the following classes:
• CIM_ComputerSystem
• CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem
• PG_ComputerSystem
The PG_ComputerSystem class is a subclass of the CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem class.
It adds the following properties:
◦ PrimaryOwnerPager
The pager number for the primary system owner.
◦ SecondaryOwnerName
The name of the secondary owner of the system.
◦ SecondaryOwnerContact
The phone number of the secondary owner of the system.
◦ SecondaryOwnerPager
The pager number of the secondary owner of the system.
◦ SerialNumber
The serial number of the system.
◦ IdentificationNumber
The corporate asset number of the system.
These properties are typically on an HP-UX system using DMI.
NOTE: The PG_ComputerSystem class follows the industry convention of naming
CIM_UnitaryComputerSystem subclasses without including Unitary in the class name. This
practice is an exception to the normal practice used for creating non-DMTF defined subclasses
(simply changing the prefix of the superclass CIM_ to some organization-specific string).
