Managing Devices using CIM
VMware on the Visor-based ESX platforms uses the Common Interface Model (CIM) as the only
standard management mechanism for device management. The OneCommand Manager application
uses the standard CIM interfaces to manage the adapters in the ESX COS and Visor environments. The
OneCommand Manager application supports the CIM-based device and adapter management in
addition to the existing adapter management functionality around its proprietary management stack
along with the standard HBAAPI interface.
Refer to the OneCommand Manager Application User Manual for more information.
