DMI DMI consists of three components: s SP (Service Provider)-Manages the communication between the MA and the CI. Maintains a database of components that are defined by Management Information Format (MIF) files. s Management Application (MI)-The Management Application (MI) is the interface that allows a user to locally or remotely manage the components of a computer system. The MI can request information from the CI or the CI can notify the MI of specific events (for example, failed drives) through the SP. s Component Instrumentation (CI)-Handles requests for component information from the SP and alerts the SP of any events that occur. Adaptec's implementation of the CI is discussed in Adaptec CI. System Requirements Adaptec supplies a read-only Component Instrumentation and Mass Storage file for all controller models. Both the MI and the SP must be provided by your operating system or computer system vendor.

DMI
DMI consists of three components:
■
SP (Service Provider)
—Manages the communication between
the MA and the CI. Maintains a database of components that
are defined by Management Information Format (MIF) files.
■
Management Application (MI)
—The Management
Application (MI) is the interface that allows a user to locally or
remotely manage the components of a computer system. The
MI can request information from the CI or the CI can notify the
MI of specific events (for example, failed drives) through the
SP.
■
Component Instrumentation (CI)
—Handles requests for
component information from the SP and alerts the SP of any
events that occur. Adaptec’s implementation of the CI is
discussed in
Adaptec CI
.
System Requirements
Adaptec supplies a read-only Component Instrumentation and
Mass Storage file for all controller models. Both the MI and the SP
must be provided by your operating system or computer system
vendor.
The following environments support DMI management for your
controller:
■
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Server versions
■
Windows 2000
