Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 3.0 Management Protocols Reference Guide SNMP, IPMI, WS-Man, CIM

WS-Management and CIM Overview

As of version 3.0.8, ILOM supports the use of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Web Services for Management (WS-Management) protocol and Common Information Model (CIM). The support for these DMTF standards in ILOM enable developers to build and deploy network management applications to monitor and manage information about Oracle’s Sun system hardware.

Topics described in this section, include:

• WS-Management
• Common Information Model (CIM)
• System Management Architecture for Server Management (SMASH)
• Configuring Support for WS-Management in ILOM
• Supported DMTF SMASH Profiles and CIM Classes

WS-Management

WS-Management is based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) specification that promotes interoperability between managed applications and managed resources. It enables you to:

• Discover the presence of management resources, as well as provide navigation among them.
• View and write to individual management resources, such as settings and dynamic values.
• Obtain a list for contents of containers and collections, such as system components and log entries.
• Run management methods.

For further details about implementing and deploying a WS-Management environment to remotely manage system hardware across your IT infrastructure, see: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/wsman

For more information about how to configure support for WS-Management in ILOM, see Configuring Support for WS-Management in ILOM.

Common Information Model (CIM)

CIM is an object-oriented information model that provides a common definition for managing system hardware data. These common definitions enable you to exchange semantically rich management information among systems on your network.

CIM supplies a set of classes that provide a framework to organize the information about the managed environment. Specifically, these classes enable you to create or use another application other than ILOM to monitor and manage Oracle’s Sun hardware.

System Management Architecture for Server Management (SMASH)

Oracle’s Sun hardware supports a relevant subset of SMASH profiles. For more information about DMTF SMASH profiles, consult the specification for this standard at: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/mgmt/smash

For more information about support SMASH profiles and CIM classes, see Supported DMTF SMASH Profiles and CIM Classes.

Configuring Support for
WS-Management in ILOM

Refer to the following sections that describe the prerequisites and procedures for configuring support for WS-Management in ILOM.

• Before You Begin
• Edit the WS-Management Service State, Transport Mode, and Port Number Using the CLI
• Edit WS-Management State, Transport Mode, and Port Number Using the Web Interface

Before You Begin

• To edit the configuration properties for WS-Management in ILOM, you must have Admin (a) role privileges.

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI.

2. To view all the properties associated with the management of the SP WS-Man service, type:

-> help /SP/services/wsman

The following help output appears for the WS-Management service:

 /SP/services/wsman : Management of the WSMAN service
    Targets:
 
    Properties:
        http_port : WSMAN http port
        http_port : User role required for set = a
 
        https_port : WSMAN https port
        https_port : User role required for set = a
 
        mode : WSMAN mode
        mode : User role required for set = a
 
        state : WSMAN state
        state : User role required for set = a
 

3. Perform the tasks described in the following table to navigate and manage the SP WS-Management target properties.

4. Type exit to exit the ILOM CLI.

1. Log in to the ILOM SP web interface.

2. In the ILOM SP web interface, click the Configuration --> System Management Access --> WS-Man tab.

3. In the WS-Man page, configure the following WS-Man settings:

4. Click Save to apply the changes made to the WS-Man settings.

Supported DMTF SMASH Profiles and CIM Classes

Oracle-supported CIM classes provide a common information model interface for developers building management applications. With Oracle-specific CIM class properties, developers can use standards-based CIM-compliant applications to manage Oracle’s Sun hardware.

For a list of the supported DMTF profiles, Oracle-specific CIM classes, as well as the supported CIM indications in ILOM, see these sections:

• Supported DMTF SMASH profiles and CIM classes, see TABLE 11-1, Supported SMASH Profiles and CIM Classes.
• Supported CIM indications in ILOM, see Supported CIM Indications.

Supported CIM Indications

As of ILOM 3.0.8, ILOM can generate CIM indications for the following conditions:

• Sensor crosses a threshold (CIM_ThresholdIndication).
• Hardware component changes operational state or health state (CIM_InstModification).
• Hardware component is inserted into the chassis (CIM_InstCreation).
• Hardware component is removed from the chassis (CIM_InstDeletion).

TABLE 11-2 identifies the CIM classes supported in ILOM for CIM indications.

In addition, ILOM defines two static instances of CIM_IndicationFilter, in /root/interop namespace that a client can subscribe to in order to receive indication for when a threshold is crossed or for when a hardware component health state changes. TABLE 11-3 identifies the key properties and ILOM values supported for these conditions.
