6.5.4 Limitations The following are the limitations of this installation and configuration:
There is no active event notification, for example, by popup or e-mail.

6.5.4.1 VMWare ESX 3i
Management through CIM and
CMPI
Management of VMWare ESX 3i is possible only through a Common Information Model
(CIM) provider. It is not possible to install anything on the VMWare ESX3i system, so
management is performed through MSM installed on a remote machine
(Linux/Windows).
VMWare ESX 3i comes with the Small Footprint CIM Broker (CFCB) CIM Object Manager
(or CIMOM). A CIMOM manages communication between providers, which interact
with the hardware, and a CIM client, where the administrator manages the system.
