  DESKTOP MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
  ____________________________
 
 
 
 
 
                      The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a standard
                      framework for managing the information provided by the
                      components of PC systems.  DMI was created by the Desktop
                      Management Task Force (DMTF).  The DMTF is a cooperative,
                      industry-wide effort formed to bring management, ease of
                      use, and control to PC systems.
 
                      The DMI architecture utilizes a service layer, a local
                      program that collects information from the components of
                      the PC system and passes the information to management
                      applications.  The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation
                      couples the adapter's device driver to the service layer.

  LAN ADAPTER INSTRUMENTATION FOR OS/2
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation is implemented as a
                      protocol stack in OS/2.  Currently, the protocol stack
                      supports NDIS 2 device drivers.  The protocol stack
                      implementation allows the instrumentation to get and set
                      attributes for any IBM NDIS 2 device driver without
                      requiring changes to the device driver.  The IBM LAN
                      adapter instrumentation for OS/2 is on this Diskette
 
 
                                                Desktop Management Interface  1
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                      For OS/2 Warp, Version 4, the DMI service layer and its
                      associated browser and agent applications are contained
                      in the base OS.  For earlier versions of OS/2, the DMI
                      service layer can be installed separately.  Information
                      about acquiring the DMI service layer and its browser and
                      agent applications can be found at URL
                      HTTP://WWW.RALEIGH.IBM.COM/SHA/SHAHOME.HTML.  in the
                      \DMI\OS2 directory.
 
 
  Automatic Installation
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation can be installed like
                      any other protocol stack by using MPTS.  Follow these
                      steps.
 
                      1.  Start MPTS (double-click the MPTS icon).
 
                      2.  Select CONFIGURE.
 
                      3.  Select CONFIGURE again.
 
                      4.  Select OTHER PROTOCOLS....
 
                      5.  When prompted for an installation diskette, insert
                          this Diskette.  Change from the default directory of
                          A:\ to A:\DMI\OS2, and then press ENTER.  The files
                          will be copied to the system.
 
                      6.  Bind the IBM LAN adapter instrumentation protocol for
                          the adapters you want managed via DMI, by selecting
                          ADD.  Select OK when you have finished.
 
                      7.  Exit the MPTS installation process.
 
                      NOTE:  The installation procedure copies MACDMI2.EXE and
                      MACDMI.MIF to the \IBMCOM\PROTOCOL directory, which is
                      not usually in the PATH statement.  You must ensure that
                      these files reside in a directory that is in your PATH.
 
 
  Manual Installation
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation can be also be
                      installed manually by following these steps.
 
                      1.  Install the executable (MACDMI2.EXE) and its files:
                          Copy MACDMI2.EXE and MACDMI.MIF to a directory
                          included in your PATH statement.
 
                      2.  Install the protocol driver (MACDMI.OS2) and its
                          files.  The following example uses <install_dir> to
                          represent the install directory.
 
 
 
  2
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                          a.  Copy MACDMI.OS2, MACDMI.NIF, MDM.MSG and MDMH.MSG
                              to <install_dir>.
 
                          b.  Ensure that <install_dir> is in your DPATH state-
                              ment.
 
                          c.  Update your CONFIG.SYS file to contain the entry:
 
                                        DEVICE=C:<install_dir>\MACDMI.OS2
 
                          d.  Add a section to your system's PROTOCOL.INI file
                              for the IBM LAN adapter instrumentation
 
                                        [MACDMI]
                                        DRIVERNAME = MACDMI$
 
                          e.  Add a bindings entry to the system's PROTOCOL.INI
                              file to indicate which NDIS 2 drivers you want to
                              be managed by DMI.  An example of a complete
                              PROTOCOL.INI entry would be:
 
                                        [MACDMI]
                                        DRIVERNAME = MACDMI$
                                        Bindings = IBMTRP_nif, IBMTRP2_nif
 
 
  Starting the IBM LAN Adapter Instrumentation
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation, MACDMI2.EXE, can be
                      started at an OS/2 command prompt, with the RUN command
                      in CONFIG.SYS or with the START command.  The OS/2 DMI
                      service layer must be started before the instrumentation.
 
                      The first time the instrumentation runs, it will install
                      the IBM LAN adapter components into the OS/2 service
                      layer's database.  The instrumentation displays messages
                      indicating the status of the procedure.
 
                      If you want to change the LAN adapter that is to be
                      managed, just go into MPTS and bind the IBM LAN adapter
                      instrumentation protocol to the adapters you want
                      managed.  The next time the instrumentation is started,
                      it will install (if necessary) additional LAN adapter
                      components into the OS/2 service layer's database.
 
 
  IBM LAN Adapter Instrumentation Messages
 
                      Look in LANTRAN.LOG for error messages from MACDMI.OS2.
                      Use the OS/2 Help Facility to get additional information
                      on any MDMxxxxx error messages reported by MACDMI2.EXE or
                      MACDMI.OS2.  For example: enter HELP MDM0041.

  Managing IBM LAN Adapters Locally
 
                      Once the OS/2 DMI service layer and the IBM LAN adapter
                      instrumentation have been started, the management infor-
                      mation file (MIF) browser can be used to view and set LAN
                      adapter attributes.  The MIF browser icon is located in
                      the IBM SystemView Agent folder along with SystemView
                      Agent documentation.  The MIF browser provides a hierar-
                      chical representation of the groups and attributes of
                      each manageable component in the system.
 
 
  LAN ADAPTER INSTRUMENTATION FOR NT
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation is implemented as a
                      ring-3 executable program in NT.  The executable program
                      supports NDIS 3 device drivers.  The instrumentation
                      allows users to retrieve attributes for any IBM NDIS 3
                      device driver without requiring changes to the device
                      driver.  The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation for NT is on
                      this Diskette
 
                      Information about acquiring the Win32 DMI service layer
                      and its browser and agent applications can be found at
                      URL HTTP://WWW.RALEIGH.IBM.COM/SHA/SHAHOME.HTML.  in the
                      \DMI\NT directory.
 
 
  Installation
 
                      Copy all the files from A:\DMI\NT to the desired direc-
                      tory on your system.
 
 
  Starting the IBM LAN Adapter Instrumentation
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation for NT, MACDMINT.EXE,
                      can be started like any other executable file.  The NT
                      DMI service layer must be started before the instrumenta-
                      tion.
 
                      The first time the instrumentation runs it will install
                      the IBM LAN adapter components into the NT service
                      layer's database.  The instrumentation displays messages
                      indicating the status of the procedure.
 
                      The instrumentation will manage all the LAN adapters in
                      the system.

  IBM LAN Adapter Instrumentation Messages
 
                      The IBM LAN adapter instrumentation will display messages
                      on the screen.
 
 
  Managing IBM LAN Adapters Locally
 
                      Once the Win32 DMI service layer and the IBM LAN adapter
                      instrumentation have been started, the MIF browser can be
                      used to view LAN adapter attributes.  The MIF browser
                      icon is located in the IBM SystemView Agent folder along
                      with SystemView Agent documentation.  The MIF browser
                      provides a hierarchical representation of the groups and
                      attributes of each manageable component in the system.
 
 
  SNMP MANAGEMENT OF IBM LAN ADAPTERS
 
                      The IBM LAN adapters can be managed by any application
                      using standard SNMP operations.  SNMP managment is accom-
                      plished by utilizing the SNMP agent and DMI subagent sup-
                      plied with the IBM SystemView Agent.  The DMI subagent
                      translates a MIB variable into the corresponding DMI MIF
                      attribute.  In order to manage the IBM LAN adapters using
                      SNMP, follow the steps outlined below for the end station
                      and the manager's station.
 
                      These are the files necessary to use SNMP to manage IBM
                      LAN adapters.  The files are all located on this Diskette
                      in the \DMI\SNMPMGRS directory.
 
                      o   MACDMI.MAP--mapping file fragment, correlates SNMP
                          object identifier (OID) to DMI component.  Used in
                          the end station.
 
                      o   MACDMI.MIB--SNMP MIB file that describes the manage-
                          able attributes of the IBM LAN adapters.  Used by
                          most SNMP manager platforms.
 
                      o   MACDMI.DEF--MIB definition file that describes attri-
                          butes of IBM LAN adapters.  Used by NetView for
                          Windows.
 
 
  End Station Setup
 
                      Add the contents of the MACDMI.MAP file to the existing
                      entries in the DMISA.MAP mapping file.  The mapping file
                      provides the correlation between the SNMP OID(s) and the
                      DMI component(s).  The mapping file is located in the
                      directory <sva_path>\BIN\AGENT, where <sva_path> is an
                      environment variable defined during installation.

                      NOTE:  Some earlier versions of the SystemView Agent
                      defined the <netview_path> environment variable for
                      installation.
 
                      Start these programs for an OS/2 END STATION:  SNMP agent
                      (SNMPD.EXE), DMI subagent (DMISA.EXE), and the LAN
                      adapter instrumentation (MACDMI2.EXE).
 
                      Start these programs for an NT END STATION:  SNMP agent
                      (SNMPD.EXE), DMI subagent (DMISA32.EXE), and the LAN
                      adapter instrumentation (MACDMINT.EXE).
 
 
  Manager Station Setup
 
                      The general steps to setup any SNMP management platform
                      are:
 
                      1.  Copy the MIB/DEF file to the appropriate directory
                          (where all the other MIB/DEF files are located).
 
                      2.  Load or "install" the MIB/DEF file into the manager's
                          database.
 
                      The specific setup instructions for a couple SNMP manage-
                      ment platforms are described below.
 
                      o   NetView for AIX
 
                          The MIB Browser operates directly on the MIB file
                          (MACDMI.MIB).  Copy MACDMI.MIB to the
                          \usr\OV\snmp_mibs directory.  To load the MIB: start
                          NetView for AIX, select OPTIONS and then the
                          LOAD/UNLOAD MIB option.

                          To view the LAN adapter attributes, select TOOLS and
                          then the MIB BROWSER option.  Use the DOWN TREE
                          option to traverse the MIB tree and locate the LAN
                          adapter attributes.  The path through the MIB tree
                          is:
 
                                internet->private->enterprises->ibm->
                                  ibmArchitecture->ibmDmi->mibsFromMifs->
                                    ibmLanAdapter->dmtfGroups
 
                          Click on START QUERY to obtain the value of a MIB
                          attribute.
 
                      o   NetView for Windows
 
                          The MIB Browser operates on the MIB definition file
                          (MACDMI.DEF) that defines the structure of the MIB.
                          The default path for this file is the
                          <install_dir>\BIN\DEF_FILE directory.  The default
                          <install_dir> is NVWIN.
 
                          Copy MACDMI.DEF to the <install_dir>\BIN\DEF_FILE
                          directory and copy MACDMI.MIB to the
