Installation and Configuration

Openwsman relies on a CIMOM as the back end for providing system information. Openwsman currently uses the SBLIM CIM client library which connects to major CIMOMs supporting cimxml or connects using a local interface to the SFC Broker.

This is not optimal and comes with some overhead, however the intention of the project is to initially support all CIMOMs and there is no common protocol or client interface that can be used to talk to all available CIMOMs.

We have tested with two CIMOMs and all other CIMOMs with cimxml support should also work, the CIMOMs we have tested with are:
