CIM object manager (CIMOM) programming provides the opportunity to handle multiple connections from multiple sources while maintaining security. CIM clients connect to the CIMOM with a user name and password and then invoke methods to run commands.
The creation of a CIM client requires a suitable framework such as the Java WBEM Service project and the SBLIM CIM Client for Java. There are also implementations in other languages, including C++ and Python. For more information, see the Java WBEM Services website at:
Figure 1 shows a simple Java program that connects to a Lenovo Storage V series CIMOM.
import java.util.*;
import javax.wbem.cim.*;
import javax.wbem.client.*;
public class ITSOClient {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String username = args[0];
String password = args[1];
String masterConsoleIP = args[2];
String masterConsoleSecurePort = args[3];
UserPrincipal user = new UserPrincipal(username);
PasswordCredential pwd = new PasswordCredential(password);
CIMNameSpace ns = new CIMNameSpace("https://”+
masterConsoleIP+”:”+
masterConsoleSecurePort+”/root/ibm");
CIMClient client = null;
try
{
System.out.println("Connecting to CIMOM");
client = new CIMClient(ns,user,pwd);
}
catch (CIMException e)
{
// Handle the CIM Exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
