Abstract
A MOF file for management information of an information handling system is automatically generated from CIM metadata that represents the configuration of the information handling system and a CIM schema that defines classes of the CIM. A MOF file precompiler extracts MOF classes from the CIM metadata and applies the CIM schema to automatically generate the MOF file for the information handling system. A CIMOM mapping tool maps settings of different operating systems, such as WMI and Open WBEM, to provide a MOF file associated with each operating system's CIMOM implementation.
