    We are looking at getting LPAR and Storage information from the cimserver instead of using CLI. There is not much documentation found online related to Virtualization Management of IBM VIO Server using the SMI. As the IBM VIO Server platforms are managed by both HMC and IVM, looking for a documentation on the DMTF profiles or objects supported by cimservers running on them.

    HMC Envrionment:
    Does HMC have the cimserver running by default on all the platforms or Does it work when installed only on specific platforms like DS8000?
    What are the DMTF Profiles supported by it to manage the LPARs(from IBM VIO perspective)?

    IVM environment:
    Is there any version of VIOS that is required for the cimserver? Does enabling IVM requires any additional features purchase for the customers along with VIOS feature?
    What are the DMTF profiles supported by the cimserver running on IVM?

    Read some documentation that IBM Director manages virtualization using SMI (cimserver on VIO). Does it work without installing any any director agents? Any pointers on how it works and profiles/objects?

    Thanks
