About Name Spaces

When an application connects to the CIMOM, the application must also connect to a name space, where all subsequent operations occur. A name space is a directory-like structure that contains classes, instances, and qualifier types. The names of all objects within a name space must be unique. When you install the Solaris WBEM SDK, four name spaces are created:

• root\cimv2 – The default name space. Contains the CIM classes that represent objects on the system on which Solaris WBEM software is installed.

• root\security – Contains the security classes.

• root\snmp – Contains the SNMP adapter classes.

• root\system – Contains the classes that manage the CIM Object Manager.
