CIM
The Common Information Model (CIM) is an industry standard defined by the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). Microsoft implements CIM on
Windows server platforms. QLogic supports CIM on Windows Server and Linux
platforms.
QLogic's implementation of CIM will provide various classes to provide
information to users through CIM client applications. Note that QLogic CIM data
provider will provide data only, and users can choose their preferred CIM client
software to browse the information exposed by QLogic CIM provider.
QLogic CIM provider provides information through QLGC_NetworkAdapter and
QLGC_ExtraCapacityGroup classes. QLGC_NetworkAdapter class provides
network adapter information pertaining to a group of adapters including QLogic
and other vendors' controllers. QLGC_ExtraCapacityGroup class provides team
configuration for the ASP. Current implementation will provide team information
and information of physical network adapters in the team.
