HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide

Process Provider
The Process Provider makes available the 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 in CIM
v2.6 as PG_UnixProcess and PG_UnixProcessStatisticalInformation.
IP Provider
The IP Provider makes available information on the IP addresses that can be used to access a
platform.
Client applications can use this provider to determine all the IP addresses for a platform, determine
which LAN interface is associated with a given IP address, and to determine which IP routes are
supported by the platform. For platforms that have the LAN provider installed, you can relate a
given IP address to its LAN interface, MAC address, logical port, and network interface card (NIC).
NOTE: The current implementation is for HP-UX only.
This provider uses the following classes:
• CIM_IPProtocolEndpoint
• PG_BindsIPToLANEndpoint
• PG_IPRoute
Domain Name System Provider
The Domain Name System (DNS) Provider makes available the domain name information. This
provider uses the PG_DNSService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding properties,
such as SearchList and Addresses:
• SearchList specifies the search list for hostname lookup.
• Addresses specifies the names or IP addresses, in dot notation format, of the name servers
that the resolver must query.
NOTE: Currently, this provider does not support all properties of the CIM_Service class or its
superclasses. This provider extends the CIM_Service class that describes a stem DNS.
Network Time Protocol Provider
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) Provider makes available server information used by the network
time protocol service. The current implementation is for HP-UX only.
This provider uses the PG_NTPService subclass of the CIM_Service class by adding the
ServerAddress property.
The ServerAddress property specifies the names or IP addresses, in dot notation format, of the
servers that provide time to clients when requested.
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 NTP service.
Network Information Service Provider
The Network Information Service (NIS) provider makes available NIS information. The current
implementation is for HP-UX only.
