2.12.1 Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
The Desktop Management Task Force (DMTF) is an industry body created in 1992 with the goal
of standardizing systems manageability. DMTF established the Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) framework to standardize access to PC configuration data. Compaq, as a Steering
Committee and Technical Committee member of the DMTF, delivers hardware and software
instrumentation that supports the DMI standard.
For more information on configuring the DMI software, refer to the online Intelligent
Manageability Guide.
2.12.2 Compaq Insight Manager and the Insight Management Agents
Using the industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) found in Microsoft
operating systems, Compaq has continued the migration of management tools from servers to
desktops by enhancing Compaq Insight Manager. Compaq Insight Manager allows the LAN
administrator to remotely view AssetControl data, configuration data, memory change alerts, NIC
performance data, and contact information. The tool also provides access to the Fault
Management features of the Compaq Personal Computers.
