5 WMI Mapper Proxy
Windows systems use a variation on the WBEM management protocol called WMI. For HP SIM
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 HP SIM when HP SIM 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.
