The CIM schema provides the actual data model descriptions and arranges the network into a series of managed objects, all interrelated and broadly classified. The CIM schema is defined by the Managed Object Format (MOF) file, which provides a standardized model for describing management information between clients in a management system. The MOF file is not bound to a particular implementation, and it all

The CIMOM routes the request to the appropriate WMI provider, which, in turn, routes the request through the data router layer to the disk data provider in the data provider layer. The information is then returned (through the same pat
