Management Profiles

A Profile, which may be specified in documents published by the DMTF or in specifications created by other organizations, defines the CIM model and associated behavior for a particular management domain (including the CIM classes, associations, indications, methods and properties). This provides a unified way of describing the management domain in CIM, which contributes to interoperability and helps with ease of use.

Each profile identifies unambiguously the classes, properties, methods and values that should be instantiated and manipulated to represent and manage a given domain.

Some documents on this page are in .pdf format. You can download the free Acrobat Reader if you have trouble viewing them.

The DMTF welcomes feedback on our standards, but requires that individuals submitting comments first agree to our DMTF Feedback Policy. Note that current DMTF members should not use this feedback system - instead, submit feedback via email to the DMTF's Vice President of Technology.
