Abstract

This paper presents a middleware solution for global management of any kind of distributed system, such as networks of PCs/ workstations, clusters or server farms. Our approach lies in an object-oriented software architecture that models all kind of management information using the common information model (CIM) developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF). The classes and attributes obtained after the modeling process are mapped to a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) repository. This paper discusses the key features of our middleware that allows that any element (physical, logical, device, user or system) can be managed using a network-oriented and topology-independent approach. A representative example of management domain illustrates the procedures followed to build management applications using our middleware architecture.
