CIMOM Agent – The CIMOM Agent runs on the PC that controls the
RAID (RAID PC). It directly monitors the RAID and sends messages
through the Utility Server to all connected browser PCs. CIMOM stands
for Common Information Model (a protocol) Object Manager (server
software that implements the protocol).
How They Work Together
The Promise Array Management Web Utility (WebPAM) utility provides
an easy way to set up, monitor and modify your RAID. Web PAM works
with the Promise SuperTrak card and UltraTrak RAID subsystem.
WebPAM watches the RAID and when significant events happen, or it
discovers a problem, the Agent sends a warning to the Utility Server.
The Utility Server passes the warning along to all connected browser
PCs.
Warnings appear on the PC in the form of email messages and popup
alerts. You can select which events and problems PAM will report via
email.
A major benefit of WebPAM is that it runs over the Internet. This enables
remote monitoring and configuring of your RAIDs, across the room,
across town or across the country.
Important
Once you become aware of a problem, go to a networked
PC on your company's intranet or to the RAID PC to take
corrective action. If you have more than one RAID PC on
your network, WebPAM will indicate which one has the
problem
