MegaRAID SAS Software User GuideChapter 6: MegaRAID Storage Manager Overview and Installation
| Installing and Configur-
ing a CIM Provider
Add an entry to map its own IP address (not the loop back address) with the
Hostname. This is to ensure that the Alert Event Notifications (AENs) are
delivered correctly.
For networks that has DNS configured, the “hosts” file in the machine on which
MSM is installed must be edited as follows:
When you do the initial configurations for the VMWare host, provide the correct
DNS server IP address.
In the hosts file of the machine on which MSM is installed, add an entry to map
its own IP address (not the loop back address) with the Hostname. This is to
ensure that the Asynchronous Event Notifications (AENs) are delivered correctly.
It takes a while to discover the CIMOM servers. If you start the MSM client
immediately after you install MSM (or restart Framework service), you will not be
able to discover any hosts in the network.
This is supported only on a full installation of MSM; standalone, client-only, and
server-only modes do not support VMWare ESX3i management.
Supported on the following operating systems:
Windows, RHEL and SLES 10
The following descriptions summarize the status of components related to VMWare
ESX3i:

There is no support for Monitor Configurator; you cannot configure the severity
of the AENs.

Monitor service support is not available.
6.6 Installing and
Configuring a CIM Provider
This section describes the installation and configuration of the MegaRAID Common
Information Model (CIM) provider. The Common Information Model offers common
definitions of management information for networks, applications, and services, and
allows you to exchange management information across systems throughout a
network.
On a VMWare ESX3i system, management is possible only through a CIM provider and
it is performed through MSM installed on a remote machine running a Linux or
Windows operating system.
VMWare ESX3i comes with the Small Footprint CIM Broker (SFCB) 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.
SFCB supports Common Manageablity Programming Interface (CMPI)-style providers.
CMPI defines a common standard used to interface Manageability Instrumentation
(providers, instrumentation) to Management Brokers (CIM Object Manager). CMPI
standardizes Manageability Instrumentation, which allows you to write and build
instrumentation once and run it in different CIM environments (on one platform).
6.6.1 Installing a CIM SAS Storage
Provider on Linux

Storage Provider on a system running on the Linux operating system.
