ABSTRACT:
A system for coordinating information between management entities includes a CIMOM registry broker storing registration information for CIMOMs in the system. The CIMOM registry broker is operable to extract objects from at least some of the CIMOMs in response to a request from an entity external to the system. The CIMOM registry broker is also operable to correlate information in the extracted objects into a single response table, and send the single response table to the entity external to the system. The system also includes a plurality of agents, wherein each agent is associated with one of the CIMOMs and is operable to communicate information from the CIMOMs to the CIMOM registry broker. The system also includes at least one management channel providing bidirectional communication between the CIMOM registry broker and the agents in the system.
