The Web-Based Enterprise Management driver currently supports operating systems supporting 

the Web-Based Enterprise Management interface (WBEM). 
WBEM is always installed on the following operating systems versions (and later):

• Red  Hat  Linux  6.2.
• VM Ware (ESX) with WBEM installed.

You can install Web-Based Enterprise Management on some other systems if they do not already 

use it, but monitored devices must have this installed.

NOTE:

To verify WBEM is running on your system, run the following command: 

ps-e | grep cim

. You 

should see a process labelled 

cimserver

.

You can download and install WBEM support for Red Hat linux. For example, for Red Hat 5, a 

release for WBEM is tog-pegasus-2.7.0-2.el5_2.1.i386.rpm. This is what you need to 

download once you have logged into the Red Hat network.
Install this as follows:
Install: rpm -ih tog-pegasus-2.7.0-2.el5_2.1.i386.rpm
Upgrade: rpm -Uh tog-pegasus-2.7.0-2.el5_2.1.i386.rpm
To determine if wbem is running, run ps -ef | grep cimserver in a shell.
To start | stop | get status of the WBEM service:

tog-pegasus start | stop | status"

If the system is running Fedora, then you can access tog-pegasus updates at this site: https://
