HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide

The Network Information Service provider instruments the PG_NISServerService subclass of
the CIM_Service class by adding the properties ServerType and ServerWaitFlag:
• The ServerType property specifies if the instance is a master or slave server.
• The ServerWaitFlag property specifies the NIS server wait state (wait/no wait).
NOTE: Currently, the provider does not support all properties of the CIM_Service class or its
superclasses. This provider extends the CIM_Service class that describes a NIS.
Software Distributor Provider
The Software Distributor (SD) Provider makes available information about software objects managed
by the Installed Products Database (IPD).
The following software objects are supported by this provider:
• Bundles - Collections of filesets from several different products, encapsulated for a specific
purpose. Bundles can consist of groups of filesets or products.
• Products - Collections of filesets, or (optionally) subproducts, and control scripts. Different
versions of a product can be defined for different platforms and operating systems, as well
as different revisions (releases) of the product.
• Filesets - Filesets include all the files and control scripts that make up a product. Filesets can
only be part of a single product, but they can be included in several different HP-UX bundles
or subproducts. Different versions of a fileset can be defined for different platforms. Filesets
are the lowest level of object managed by SD-UX.
IOTree Provider
The IOTree provider makes available basic HP-UX PCI subsystem information such as the number
and the various characteristics of the PCI slots, PCI cards, PCI devices, and PCI bridges. This IOTree
provider uses the HPUX_PCIDevice, HPUX_PCIBridge, HPUX_PCISlot and HPUX_PCICard
classes. Clients can use this provider to understand the PCI I/O subsystem of the HP computer
system (typically a server or an appliance).
NOTE: The current implementation is for HP-UX only.
