The MIF Browser
The MIF Browser
The MIF browser is a graphical user interface designed for viewing the
contents of the MIF database on a local or remote DMI-enabled system.
It is invoked using the command:
/usr/dmi/bin/browser
The browser initially displays a system view which lists the local
system MIF database. You “Open” the view to remote systems via the
Actions
menu.
Double-clicking on a system icon causes the browser to list all the
components on that machine. Similarly, you can open a component to
list its groups and open a group to list its attributes and associated
attribute values. You can not make changes to components from the
MIF Browser.
The following illustration shows a component-level view of the system
“kewpie.” This illustration shows three of five installed components.
Note the scroll bar on the right side of the window.
