HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 34)

5 WMI Mapper Proxy
Windows systems use a variation on the WBEM management protocol called WMI. For Systems
Insight Manager to communicate with Windows systems, the WBEM protocol it uses must be
converted to the WMI protocol and vice versa. This is the function of the WMI Mapper Proxy. This
proxy is typically installed on the same system as Systems Insight Manager when Systems Insight
Manager is installed on a Windows system. For Linux or HP-UX installations where Windows
systems will be managed, it can be installed on a separate Windows system, with its location
configured in the Options
→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy menu.
You can configure the WMI Mapper Proxy from the First Time Wizard. You can also add, edit,
and delete WMI Mapper Proxies by selecting Options
→Protocol Settings→WMI Mapper Proxy.
