We present a transparent CIM-to-JMX gateway for combining complementary advantages of two partly competing management technologies, the Common Information Model (CIM) and and Java Management Extensions (JMX), namely a rich data model and straightforward language binding. We include overviews of both technologies and discuss how this combination in particular enables quick prototyping of CIM provider code for a storage management application.
Keywords: management instrumentation, data model mapping, Common Information Model (CIM), Java Management Extensions 0(JMX), storage management.
