In depth

A closer look at IBM Mining Tool for CIM Test Simulation

The Common Information Model (CIM) is an industry-standard way of describing data about applications and devices so that administrators and software management programs can control applications and devices on different platforms in the same way, ensuring interoperability across a network such as the Internet. The CIM model specification for such devices is presently under development through the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). The CIM Object Manager (CIMOM) allows management of CIM objects on a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)-enabled system. A CIM object is a representation, or model, of a managed resource, such as a printer, disk drive, or CPU. In order for hardware devices to be managed using CIM, a management console application must communicate with a CIMOM server. IBM Mining Tool for CIM Test Simulation enables set-up of a local CIMOM server that simulates the exact class schema and data as if it were dealing with a remote CIMOM. This mining tool learns what is available by capturing this information through a mining method. Thus any CIM-based device management application could be simulated for purposes of data query testing and doing so locally at very high speeds. As a result of mining beforehand, a software stack is created that is composed of the class schema definition, a localized simulation of a CIMOM server, and a locally-created repository for hardware configuration information.
