Abstract

Method and system for aggregating data regarding a system component from multiple data sources to provide a single aggregated Common Information Model (“CIM”) object are described. In one embodiment, the method comprises requesting data regarding a system component from a first one of the data sources; upon receipt of the requested system component data from the first one of the data sources, updating an aggregate CIM object for the system component using the received system component data in accordance with a priority of the first one of the data sources relative to the remaining data sources; and repeating the requesting and updating in connection with each of the remaining data sources in accordance with a relative priority of the remaining data source.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A Common Information Model object manager (“CIMOM”) for aggregating multiple Common Information Model (“CIM”) objects for a system component from different data sources into a single aggregated CIM object, the CIMOM comprising:

for each of the data sources, means associated with the data source for responding to a request for a CIM object for a system component;
and
an aggregation module connected to each of the means for responding, the aggregation module thereby updating a single aggregate CIM object for the system component using the received system component data;
wherein responsive to a request from a client application for a CIM object for a particular system component, the aggregation module receives a CIM object for the particular system component from each of the data sources and repeatedly combines the received CIM objects into the single aggregated CIM object for the particular system component.
