Table 5-1. Instrumentation Component Information

Component

Default Location or File Name

Functional Information

CIM Provider

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\DellWMI.dll

Module that provides access to information requested by the Microsoft® Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) Service Layer; retrieves data for the attributes specified by the Managed Object Format (MOF), and exposes data through the Common Information Model Object Manager (CIMOM).

Most of its functionality is devoted to provided class instances; however, it also implements three WMI methods: client shutdown, restart and BIOS flash.

Disks

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\DDisks.dll

Data-provider dynamic link library (DLL) that provides information about IDE and SCSI Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) drives.

SMBIOS

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\dsmbios.dll

Component that retrieves data from the system management basic input/output system (SMBIOS) data tables and reads and writes Dell system data into the BIOS through system management interrupts (SMIs) and the CMOS.

IAP

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\Iap.exe

Instrumentation Access Provider; component that queries the iap_routing_data.htm file for configuration information, builds the lookup tables, and routes data to a data provider; ensures serialization of BIOS access and consistency of data, and reduces memory and disk requirements.

IAP is an executable that runs as a Windows service and is the only service installed by OMCI. Its purpose is to route requests from the layer above to the appropriate component provider below (dsmbios.dll, dpci.dll, or dsysInfo.dll). It also hosts the component DLLs while they are in use.

WDM Driver

C:\winnt\system32\drivers\omci.sys

(for Microsoft Windows XP Professional)

Windows Driver Model (WDM) driver that provides various components with access to hardware.

PC Card

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\dpccard.dll

Data-provider DLL that gives information about the PC Cards (removable I/O cards such as a modem, local area network [LAN], synchronous RAM [SRAM], or flash memory card) present in a system.

PCI

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\dpci.dll

Data-provider DLL that gives information about Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) devices, PCI-PCI bridges, and PCI-Card bus bridges present in a system.

System Information

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\dsysInfo.dll

Data-provider DLL that provides system-specific information not available through other data-provider DLLs.

Events DLL

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\DEvents.dll

DLL that has a collection of Component Object Model (COM) Objects, each assigned to a specific event. The event modules communicate with IAP and other components, for information about the system to determine if the user or administrator needs notification.

Indication Consumer

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\IndiCons.dll

DLL that subscribes to the CIMOM for indications of interest. It is supplied by the indication provider when events are detected. The providers send indications to the CIMOM, and the CIMOM forwards them to their subscribers.

Indication consumer can interpret an indication and perform certain actions in response to the event, such as reporting the event to the user, executing a script, or shutting down the system.

Indication Provider

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\IndiProv.dll

DLL that periodically polls for events occurring at multiple event sources and generates an indication when an event is detected. It then supplies the indication to WMI, which forwards it to indication consumers (subscribers). The Indication Provider detects events by calling the COM interfaces of event source status checkers at configurable intervals. These status checkers are all implemented in DEvents.dll. The status checkers call the IAP for data, and detect events by examining the returned data. For each event type, there is a corresponding status checker.

CIM-IAP Data Routing File

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\cim_iap_data.htm

HTML file that contains configuration information for DellWMI.dll.

CIM-Win32 Data Routing File

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\cim_win32_data.htm

HTML file that contains configuration information for DellWMI.dll.

DSMBIOS Data Routing File

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\dsmbios_data.htm

HTML file that contains configuration information for dsmbios.dll.

IAP Data Routing File

%ProgramFiles%\Dell\OpenManage\ Client\iap_routing_data.htm

HTML file that contains configuration information for iap.exe.
