Registration of CIM agent to management agent and system
First Claim
1. A method for registering a Common Information Model (CIM) agent to a management agent in a computing environment by a processor device, comprising:
- discovering, by the CIM agent, the management agent in a management domain in response to an insertion of the CIM agent into the management domain; and
self-registering, by the CIM agent, at least one of information of the CIM agent and the discovered management agent, the management agent compliant with the CIM agent;
wherein the management agent is determined by matching a management object scope, or safety strategy defined in a predefined strategy of the discovered management agent with a management object, or safety strategy of the CIM agent;
wherein the management agent converts a CIM schema of the CIM agent into a schema at the management agent identifiable by the management agent according to a mapping specification corresponding to a management model of the management domain in response to a determination of no schema at the management agent corresponding to the CIM schema to be converted in the management agent that is compliant with the CIM agent.

Abstract
A Common Information Model (CIM) agent is registered to a management agent in a computing environment by a processor device. The management agent is discovered by the CIM agent in a management domain in response to an insertion of the CIM agent into the management domain. At least one of information of the CIM agent and the discovered management agent is registered by the CIM agent. The management agent is compliant with the CIM agent. The management agent is determined by matching a management object scope, or safety strategy in a predefined strategy of the discovered management agent with a management object, or safety strategy of the CIM agent.

6. A system for registering a Common Information Model (CIM) agent to a management agent in a computing environment, comprising:
-
a processor device, in communication with the management agent and operational in the computing environment, wherein the processor device; discovers, by the CIM agent, the management agent in a management domain in response to an insertion of the CIM agent into the management domain; and self-registers, by the CIM agent, at least one of information of the CIM agent and the discovered management agent, the management agent compliant with the CIM agent; wherein the management agent is determined by matching a management object scope, or safety strategy defined in a predefined strategy of the discovered management agent with a management object, or safety strategy of the CIM agent; wherein the management agent converts a CIM schema of the CIM agent into a schema at the management agent identifiable by the management agent according to a mapping specification corresponding to a management model of the management domain in response to a determination of no schema at the management agent corresponding to the CIM schema to be converted in the management agent that is compliant with the CIM agent. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer program product for registering a Common Information Model (CIM) agent to a management agent in a computing environment by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
a first executable portion that discover, by the CIM agent, the management agent in a management domain in response to an insertion of the CIM agent into the management domain; and a second executable portion that self-registers, by the CIM agent, at least one of information of the CIM agent and the discovered management agent, the management agent compliant with the CIM agent; wherein the management agent is determined by matching a management object scope, or safety strategy defined in a predefined strategy of the discovered management agent with a management object, or safety strategy of the CIM agent; wherein the management agent converts a CIM schema of the CIM agent into a schema at the management agent identifiable by the management agent according to a mapping specification corresponding to a management model of the management domain in response to a determination of no schema at the management agent corresponding to the CIM schema to be converted in the management agent that is compliant with the CIM agent. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
