• HCM agent
The agent provides an interface for managing adapters installed on the host through the HCM
application.
• CIM Provider
CIM Provider packages installed on your host system allow any standard Common Information
Model (CIM) and SMI-S based management software to manage installed Brocade adapters.
The appropriate CIM Provider rpm or msi package loads to your host system when you install
the network driver package using installation scripts or installation commands that are
“native” to your host system.
NOTE
The CIM Provider files do not load when you use the Brocade Adapter Software Installer (B ASI)
to install driver packages.
NOTE
If you want to integrate the provider with Common Information Model Object Manager (CIM
OM), install the SMI-S Provider packages using instructions in the SMI-S Provider for Brocade
Adapters Installation Guide or CIM Provider for Brocade Adapters Installation Guide.
NOTE
Although SMI-S Provider and CIM Provider may be used interchangeably, CIM is the more
generic term, while SMI-S is storage-specific.
