HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 30)

5 WMI Mapper Proxy
Windows systems use a variation on the WBEM management protocol called WMI. For Systems Insight
Manager to communicate with Windows systems, the WBEM protocol it uses must be converted to the WMI
protocol and vice versa. This is the function of the WMI Mapper Proxy. This proxy is typically installed on
the same system as Systems Insight Manager when Systems Insight Manager is installed on a Windows
system. For Linux or HP-UX installations where Windows systems will be managed, it can be installed on a
separate Windows system, with its location configured in the Options
→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper
Proxy menu.
You can configure the WMI Mapper Proxy from the First Time Wizard. You can also add, edit, and delete
WMI Mapper Proxies by selecting Options
→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy.
