What is sblim-wbemcli
sblim-wbemcli is:
The WBEM Command Line Interface is a standalone, convenient systems
management utility for CIMOM access. Invocation and output syntax are
problem-oriented and easy to process by shell and Perl scripts, making
wbemcli well suited for administrators writing their own management
scripts and for WBEM developers wanting to test their providers.
WBEM (Web-Based Enterprise Management) is a successor of SNMP and the
basis of SMI-S (Storage Management Initiative – a standard interface
to storage devices). CIM (Common Information Model, the data model of
WBEM) has a much wider scope, thus more ambitious projects like
OpenPegasus exist, but this simple utility from the SBLIM project is
enough to query disk and RAID states of SMI-S compatible storage
products from their CIM Object Manager, for example.
